Cool Cobra drag pic
 

Love the vibe.

Common pic, but one of the all time great “test n’ tune” shots.

True.

That rear tire is wrinkled.

I was thinking that initially, but I actually think it’s underinflated.

If it was on a jack wouldn’t the front tires be closer to the fender? With the rear digging in under acceleration, the front end would lift up as in the pic.

Staged but cool pic.

Front wheels would be at full droop if jack stand was on the frame, not under the suspension.

My fav Cobra pic

From Martyn Schorr.


"Faked photo, but cool. Not my photo."

Yes it was staged,but still a great pic in IMHO.

Some Mustangs too

I remember watching Hans Schmidt race his Cobra in Western NY back in the 60s. One race in particular was against the Al Marone lightweight Ford. The Marone car later won at the nationals just to be DQ’d on tear down.
