That's an L88 (no slouch there). What's with the stock cars on track at the same time/race? These guys weigh about 3600 lbs. If one of them hit a sports car at speed it would be brutal.

Great pic. So if the Cobra breeds the Vette, what do we get? 
Brent, did you get any after-the-orgasm pics of the carnage? |

Interestingly, I was talking to a gentlman who had staged the Cobra for the race and he said they moved into this group because they were killing the Porsche's and other cars they were classed in, which didn't make any sense to me anyways. I wasn't very interesting in the big bore class because it was mostly Corvettes and other stuff you see there, but decided to go out on the track and take pics because 2473 moved into the group. Dumb luck on my part to be at the right place.
Jamo, they sure did seem rather pronounced. |

Was he under braking or trying to go on the inside of the Vette ? Either way, not a good move.
Brent- Question about the 98 car. What serial number is it ?
The rear wheel wells look to be messaged a bit with flairs ?
Any information will be appreciated.

Good job on getting the pics, you kept shooting instead of stopping to gawk.

This is turn one off of a relatively long straight at high speed. They were all on the brakes hard and I'm not sure if it was a move to the inside for position or a move to attempt to avoid a late brake mess or what. I'm speculating that it was the latter given how far inside he was in the first frame - pure speculation though.

looking at the first photo, maybe it's my eyes but the angle of the wheel sort of looks turned in extra sharp at that moment, like he was trying to avoid contact.

Great pictures Brent. To bad about the Cobra, but at least no one was hurt and it could have been much worse.

Uh-ohh...bent sheet metal = a little quiet time. It is nice to see somebody actually drive the car, though.

That's the way we raced in the mid-60's and had a body man on our race team. Of course, back then 427 Comp was about $10,000 and first place bragging rights were worth more than that.
