The Lime Rock Shelby Mustang track record holder:  On Sept. 5, 2000, Chuck Bentley,

owner of the #137 car pictured here, blew the crowd away (and the rest of the competition,

for that matter)  by setting a new Mustang/Shelby GT350 track record with a 00.59.650, not only 

winning the class, but also coming in first overall... ahead of the Corvettes, Camaros, Porsches,

and Panteras.  Chuck's car was completely built by Cobra Automotive and is rigorously maintained

for him by them throughout the race season.  He runs one of their 500 HP- 289 race engines,

and uses all of their brake and suspension parts as well.

This is what 500 hp in a lightweight, precision-tuned chassis looks like on a rainy race track.

It's an unbelievably fast car...and it appears Chuck knows how to drive it.
