Robs did several years of club racing with it but it only comes out to play occassionally. Nice to see a proper road-going Cobra mixing it with all the 'specials' with their streamlined Le Mans hardtops and trick parts. No doubt he got lapped several times, but who cares - nice weekend for a drive!
I only went on the Friday (shame on me) and I saw the Bizzarini get a smack up the rear from a Corvette - the rear panel was stoved in but the Vette was hardly marked! Will sort through my photos...
I was also introduced to Lyn St James and had a brief conversation with her (she was also down to drive a Vauxhall - don't ask...) Nice lady - any woman who races a Daytona is fine with me!!

The first time I saw Cob6042 was at Brands Hatch earlier this year,I got speaking to Rob,who did not have much luck with the car that weekend.
He said that he had not raced it for 15 years
