That was from a Vintage event at Road America a few years back. It was going up the front straight for the start.

I wonder if that was the Corvette a local guy was going to buy and have me put the front stub back on for him. He bought Kyle Petty's old stock car instead. Yeah, he's doing ok for himself.

I remember these. What a sad day.
There was an entire photo album dedicated to this wreck a few years back.

Looks to me like that cobra was going the wrong way....ford guys
Really is painful to see that kind of damage...(even the fords). If your going to take some damage though, it's better than getting side swiped in a parking lot by a Geo Metro
