Trip report: Shelby Heritage Display, Laguna Seca
« on: September 05, 2012, 16:49:29 »
The Shelby Heritage Display at the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca raceway featured some of the most significant (and valuable) Cobras of all time.  I’m sure you’ve seen similar photos by now, but here are mine for those who can’t get enough.
   
   
   
   CSX2000, the original prototype Cobra
   
   
   CSX2001, the first production Cobra
   
   
   CSX2002, the first factory team race car
   
   
   CSX2005, the Carroll Shelby School of High Performance Driving student car
   
   
   CSX2026, the first factory team Cobra to win a race
   
   
   CSX2128, Sebring roadster
   
   
   CSX2196, the flip-top Cobra
   
   
   CSX2299, the winningest of the Cobra Daytona Coupes
   
   
   CSX2345, a factory team FIA roadster
   
   
   CSX2427, Stage III Dragon Snake (one of two as we’ve since learned...)
   
   
   CSX2431, the “Ken Miles” USRRC Cobra roadster
   
   
   CSX3017, a full-competition 427 Cobra

Looking forward to seeing some reports and photos from the Goodwood Revival, from you guys.  Wish I could attend that event too.

I found a video on YouTube of the 2012 Heritage Display at Laguna Seca.  The still pictures posted are terrific, but the video gives a good overall view of many of the cars in the tent display, the car descriptions and the history timeline for the Cobra.  Thought this would add another dimension to the exhibit for those who were not there.
