OUR Father and Son Backdraft Racing Project
by Michael(Stompie) and Paddy

Inspired as a recuperation project after Michael  was extremely lucky to survive a near fatal car crash in 2004.

Michael(Stompie) and Paddy (me) built the Cobra together at home supported (financially and spiritually)a great deal by friend family and Tony Martin, John Scott and the TRTEC Backdraft Racing Team in Durban South Africa

The vision was to create the only Cobra of its kind in the world much to many strange looks and comments of disapproval from many quarters.

Both being employed in a General Motors Franchise we also have additional expertise support.

I as a Dad who nearly lost our only son ,can recommend this to all those fathers who are trying to find a valued relationship with their sons - it works and to quote

Angus Buchan from his book (Fathers and Sons) "WHAT DOES IT PROFIT TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SON"

Drive safely!
