  When different ethnic people come to the USA they often bring cultural practices "foreign" to "us". MANY of those practices are ILLEGAL! Now it seems we can't even talk about about those practices without being called racist. If the USA is SO racist , why not go back to THEIR country?

Imagine what the native Indians to North America thought when European settlers arrived...

Hi Ned, A-Snake, Kranky & Richstang, many thanks for all the photos, particularly the racing ones & Charlotte Motor Speedway, you guys certainly deliver the goods. I've liaised with Doug Chadwick, he plans to email me the panoramic photo from Charlotte Motor Speedway SAAC12 when he returns from travelling. I'll post his photo when I'm in receipt of it, cheers & thank you.

Hi Bill & thank you for your input, I'll try & investigate SAAC 12 some how, cheers.

I have this in my files, I believe ? ? that is CSX 2011 #97 on the left, with CSX 2017 #11 ??  at Green Valley Texas in '67.

Stand to be corrected on the CSX #s & date,  some info on CSX 2017, in my 2008 registry is missing, the newer registry probably

 has more info ?

Kranky ? ?

Mike

Thank you honker, Mike.

Hi Benny, Welcome to the forum!

Just like you, I've been collecting photos of all the Cobras. There'a at least 20-30 vintage photos of csx2011 out there in the wild / internet.
I was talking to another forum member about the paint scheme shown in your later restoration photo and thought it might not be entirely correct to the vintage appearance.
More recently (2015 RM auction) it showed up in a white / blue restoration version which may be more historically accurate.
Hopefully one of our resident experts will chime in and clear this up for us.

Hi Richstang,
Thank you for the reply on CSX2011, I also like the way you supplied your photos with & file name . Concerning the sequence of colours, red, white, white with blue motifs, white with red & blue motifs & currently white with blue motifs? Would you think that may have been the sequence for the colour schemes?

I would like to start archiving photos of CSX2000 Series Cobras. I'm finding photos on the internet & Facebook but they may not include the CSX numbers. However on Facebook SAAC member & Cobra Registrar Ned Scudder identifies some of these cars which I really appreciate. I no from page 73 from the World Registry of Cobras, 4th edition that CSX2011 was originally a red car then white with red & blue motifs that went racing.
I've been a SAAC member since 2014, I own a 2011 Shelby GT500 but I really have a heart for the CSX2000 & 3000 series Cobras, cheers.
