Fun, yes. Serious venue, no.

Having said that, at least the spec FFRs are prepped for the track in some regard, with an awful lot of modern safety equipment not seen in any original of the day. 99% of Cobra replicas are not similarly-equipped. Moreover, I don't think you can come close to saying those cars have any similarity to period-correct Cobras.

You want to see period correct Cobras go to a museum or almost any car show. Car Guys own most of them.

The Gear Heads are running in the spec series. If you don't think these guys are serious racers I suggest you give it a try.They may not be running for big prizes but many of them are serious about winning.

BTW Shelby tried to run a spec series but not many car guys were interested.
They were period correct though except for their spec. small blocks.
