Hello GT40 Members.
decooney here from over at the ClubCobra site. We are currently working on details for the (Western States Cobra Bash!) possibly being held Mid-May 2005 in Reno, Nevada. The goal is to provide a central meeting place for regional clubs in the Western United States. The final ClubCobra vote/poll is closing soon and it appears Reno will be the place for this gathering of people and their Cobras. A few of the Cobra people mentioned having some GT40s attend as well since some people own both or may just want to bring their GT40. Definitely! We're certainly game for it and we wanted to check and see here first on GT40s.com We are currently getting bids from a few top locations trying to meet specific criteria and still trying to get an idea of just how many people might decide to attend. So far, the early preliminary estimate is 100-150 replica Cobras, a few GT40s, a few Daytona Coupes, and a few original cars/owners waiting to see what the location turns out to be. We are entertaining only places with large/secure parking areas with room for cars and trailers rigs. The same type of thing was casually set up on the east coast and it has turned out to be a major gathering every year. The potential for the Western US is huge if there is enough interest. We are working to do something simple and low-key for the first year and see how it evolves.
Would there be any interest from members here on the GT40s.com forum that would like to attend a club gathering like this of Cobras & GT40s?
It will be more of a meet and greet type social gathering over 2.5 days, with a day drive, a drink-mixer social, and a dinner type of thing for the first year. Keeping it simple but fun. We are not trying to make it another race/track event (Many of those already, including SAAC) the following month.
Please reply here and we will check back in periodically to see if there is any interest. More details to follow as we get them.
Thanks,
Duane
