John, here is Gordon's suggestion for preparation:
Stuff I would like to see in all the cars.
A complete nut and bolt- do this yourself. This is for saftey's sake.
Fire extingusher- You can get one with a steel mount for about $50 out of summit.
Batteries must have a good hold down.
Snell 2000 or newer helmets-open cars REALLY need full face helmets for the driver.
No fluid leaks.
A quick tech inspection should be done before running.

As you can see, if your cobra is in street shape it is probably in fun-race shape.
