Robs did several years of club racing with it but it only comes out to play occassionally. Nice to see a proper road-going Cobra mixing it with all the 'specials' with their streamlined Le Mans hardtops and trick parts. No doubt he got lapped several times, but who cares - nice weekend for a drive!

I only went on the Friday (shame on me) and I saw the Bizzarini get a smack up the rear from a Corvette - the rear panel was stoved in but the Vette was hardly marked! Will sort through my photos...

I was also introduced to Lyn St James and had a brief conversation with her (she was also down to drive a Vauxhall - don't ask...) Nice lady - any woman who races a Daytona is fine with me!!

Trevor,

How many Cobra`s did David Purley own,do you know ?

One - 6009. Cut it up and threw it in a skip. Nuff said.

[What'saCobra?]

Gag!

Please, old boy. Too short a post. Really happened? OMG why?

Sorry to see Martin Stretton have such a lousy day. He is an excellent steering person and multiple champion in many many different series, so this is an irregular cock-up, fer' sure. Tho' i might not miss the Bizzar.

Next year i am buying, write it in a book. Best regards.

(Ps: Take a careful look at the Kirkham Daytona pix located elsewhere here. VERY special...)
