FEATURE CAR – THE RED COBRA – A turbocharged Mod motored beast that hits with a deadly bite! In the early 2000s, “The Big Three” all had sports cars, but technically they weren’t in the same class.

THE BAD APPLE – George Cunningham grew up racing the streets and eventually hit the track as he got a bit older. Now in his late 50s, he runs as close to the streets as he can in his big block nitrous Nova, hitting most any grudge/no time/no prep event he can, and his grandson Cohen is right there by his side. “Before I knew it, 40 plus years had gone by and here I am no-prep racing!” Cunningham exclaimed.

From 1970 to 1978, the “Ford” Capri was dubbed a sport compact known as a “captive import” produced and sourced from Ford of Europe.
