Lake Garnett or Watkins Glen...does anyone know?
Hello all, my name is Rich MacDonald, my father (Dave MacDonald) raced Cobra's in the early 60's. I have a question for the Cobra experts on this forum and any help would be appreciated. I've posted some home footage of a Cobra race on my father's tribute site www.davemacdonald.net and I've tagged it as Lake Garnett Kansas July 1963. However I now think the footage may actually be Watkins Glen NY, the week prior to Lake Garnett. The video shows three factory Cobra's 97, 98, 99 & Bob Johnson's #33 car. It also shows another Cobra #41 which i believe is Robert Brown. I have race results for Watkins Glen that show Brown placing 5th. I have limited race results however for Lake Garnett and they do not show him entering that race. At the end of the video it also shows a red Corvette (#7). There is a #7 Corvette (Jack Moore) placing 6th at Watkins Glen, but no record of Moore racing at Lake Garnett. You can also catch a glimpse of Bob Holbert in the video and Bob raced at Watkins Glen but apparently not at Lake Garnett. So in the spirit of having my father's site as accurate as possible I turn to the Cobra historians for help.
