In 1999, as a young 19-year-old Marine, Jake Conant was driving by a local Dodge dealer and noticed a black Dakota R/T pickup. “I thought it was the coolest truck I had ever seen, so I bought it,” Jake remembered. Not too long after, while on weekend leave, Jake was invited to the dragstrip by some friends; Cecil County Dragway in Maryland. He ran the truck down the strip and busted out a 14.50 elapsed time at 95mph, and right then and there, he was hooked!
The truck would get some mods over the next few years and would eventually hit the mid-thirteen second zone in the quartermile, but Jake was about to experience the next level in drag racing… While spending some time home in 2002, he had the opportunity to go for a ride in a new 2003 Mustang Cobra; “I was floored and immediately traded the Dakota for a brand new silver ’03 Cobra,” he said with a smile. The Cobra would be Jake’s daily driver for the next several years and he spent time in his parent’s garage adding parts whenever possible.
Since he knew he would be racing the Cobra, at 4,000…
