Rick,
You know... the interesting part is this. Remember the USRRC Cobras and Ford-Lotus 19B at the Bash... Well those are both Gordon's cars, including the Trans Am car. Apparently things are getting a bit weird with entries lately. They did not approve the Cobra and Lotus for the WCC or the Monterey/Historics for entry this year, but accepted his TA car. The Lotus is actually on the inside/original book cover for Monteray Historics, this year is the 50th anniversary for it, and they won't even let that car in. These guys have been entering and supporting the Monterey event since the early 70s! Sounds like the big money people and 4-5 car entries get first dibs now over the loyal crowd who's supported them for DECADES.

Sure makes me glad we all have our silly little replica Cobras and that we can just enjoy them and drive them without all the big money and acceptance posturing. Hard to believe a 2M$ Cobra or a car like the 1of1 Ford-Lotus can't qualify for entry and acceptance in a vintage event they helped to start. Imagine that, and if I have the details even remotely close, I gotta tell you I sure wouldn't want to have to pay the price to be on that level of acceptance. Kind of ugly. Glad I'm just a spectator with a fiberglass car.

Cobra Replicas Rule! Hahahaha.
