Robert,
As a new member and owner of one of Shelby's drag racing Cobras, my first search through the forum was, not surprisingly, for "dragonsnake." Your article came up as the one and only hit!! I guess drag racing isn't as popular in the UK as it is in the United States.
If anyone would like to learn more about Shelby's quarter-mile land rockets, there is a new commercial-free website dedicated to them:
