Cal,

I thought the same thing about the orgin of hot rods. I still watch some of the old shows of those guys out in the dry lake beds. I also thought that the sports car concept or term really came into being here after World War 11 when a lot of troops brought back their MGs and such from England but am most likely wrong about that. The Speed Channel and History channels have a lot of shows lately about the old cars and the people that built and drove them. But getting any two people around here to agree on anything is almost news worthy.

So, in your opinion where would the Cobras fall ? Hot Rod or Sports Car, or neither ? As I said above I have had the car shows put us in almost every class so they don't agree until now. They created a special construction class that is a catch all for everything from 18 wheelers to boats and yes, they do have them in the shows.
