Wow that was intense! Thanks for posting! Was that when they wanted the Cobras to accommodate a piece of luggage so the corners were bent upward to confirm to rules?

Hmmm... I've heard several times about the Luggage and Spare Tire compartments on the GT40s, but not the Cobra?
Here's a photo that shows the "regulation sized" compartments pretty well on a Mk2

The wait is absolutely killing me.  I'm dying...I hope I live long enough to see it.  Let's see, how many days do I have to survive to make it.....
