Very cool photos. They have a couple king Cobras at The Cobra Experience in Martinez, CA.

It's amazing how much the cars leaned in the corners back in the day.
Boy, you're pretty observant.
You're right.
They just don't build corners like that anymore.

No, they still build corners like that. But they are for Tesla and Smartcars only.

Nice add Carl.
Not many oldy photos that have so much close-up detail...

Reposted from another thread (here), with permission from Morris, as it relates to this thread. Great add, thank you Morris. At least this photo will be viewed and appreciated by many other Cobra enthusiasts in years to come, even when some of us are no longer around...

"Joe Rodman shooting for fastest time of the day in the Dragonsnake at Butler County."
"Gurston Down in 1979 as Paul Channon hurls his rapid and immaculate AC Cobra up the hill. . Paul would drive to the venue on road tyres, fit his racing wheels and tyres and screw on the wheel arch extensions."

It's amazing what they accomplished with narrow wire wheels and skinny tires.

Great pic!
tipped a little extra for effect I guess, unless they build some wanky scaffolding over there.
It's the banking at Monza which is quite steep. But yes it does look like the photographer tilted his camera to exaggerate the effect.
