This will be a once in a lifetime event for Shelby Cobra fans to witness the largest assembly of  the iconic beast, 1960’s competition and street cars, in one location.  As enthusiasts pay their respects to Carroll Shelby many are bringing their prized possessions out of the garage for both display or a bit of track time.  Click here for the numerous events planned during the Motorsports Reunion.

Here are some Cobra snaps to ponder until I return with the goods from this year’s event.  “It is a thrill to see such an outpouring level of support from Cobra owners who are going to share their prized Shelby Cobras,” explained Gill Campbell, CEO/General Manager of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “There will be plenty of opportunities for them to participate in the activities, even if they are not competing on the track.”  – July 23, 2012 Press Release

If you love the Shelby Cobra or just want to pay homage to an automotive great come on out to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and experience the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion August 17-19, 2012.  I’ll be the girl with the camera. 🙂
