Peter,
I disagree with your idea that the value of your cobra would determine the class it is to be Judged.
In my opinion cars that win S&S prizes are cars that have a lot of time thrown at them not money.
3 weeks to prepare a car for a show and shine, you should be in "elite" class
However I do agree with yourself and Matt, I rather be judged by my fellow Cobra owners anyday. Now that is a trophy that would go straight to the pool room.
While I am at it, The best part of our sport is the amount of innovation, design and creativity that every cobra displays. WE should have awards for best engineered, best inovation etc etc.
