I know that SVRA does allow some replicas, I am planning on asking them about which makes they allow, which ones they do not. HSR, which also does vintage racing in the south East does allow GT40 replicas, but I am not sure if they allow cobras. Both SVRA and HSR do allow some GT40's.

As you mention, there is the risk of accidental damage to your cobra, which of course would not be covered by insurance. In addition, I noticed on the SVRA site that they are going to be paying particular attention to the 2" rule this year. that rule being that any roll bar must clear the driver's head (with helmet on) by at least 2". There may bother safety considerations that may have to be addressed as well regarding roll bar support and an emergency shutoff switch will have to be installed on the outside of the car.
