I found the pictures I took as a kid at SAAC 3, at the now defunct Ontario Motor Speedway.  Some of the pictures aren't so great but they capture that day! ;)
I focused on the 289 Cobras and GT 40s, wish now I had widened my aperture :-)

I couldn't wait for this Daytona Coupe to get off the trailer for better pictures. As I recall this was freshly restored and making its public debut in Pasadena

I remember this coming in off the track.  I believe it's a Lotus....

A Mk III (I think) heading out to the track....

Cobra Ned

Do you mean Dan Knisely, from CA? CSX 2206 was not at SAAC 3. It is maroon, but has a black interior and white side pipes.

98SVT - was 06GT

1 of Mike Shoen's Coupes. When we took the one from the Petersen Museum to Oakland for SAAC 1 I was thinking what a junkie trailer. I found out later it was also a SA artifact. The MKIV is Les Linley's after he added the Gurney bubble. It's the one he crashed severely at Monterey.

Side-Oilers

Ned, you're correct, of course. 

That's the person and car I was referring to.  Yep, maroon with white side-pipes.  Does Dan still have it?

I shot a feature on the Cobra, along with Dan's maroon '69 GT500 in 1981 at Van Nuys Airport next to the old fighter planes.  Good guy.

Side Oilers, no, Dan sold his Cobra several years ago. Last I heard of it, the car was being offered for sale in the Netherlands over the summer of 2021. And as for the maroon 289 above, it is likely Lynn's CSX 2515.
