Roll Call: 2012 Monterey Motorsports (Cobra) Reunion, Sat Aug 18th

[FFRCobraMike]

Remember, it will be very hot at the track and there is very little shade. So bring lots of water, sun block and a hat. If anyone is able to bring an ez-up canopy in another vehicle, please do so. There is so little shade at the track, so any one that can set up some canopies to share with the other Cobra owners would be much appreciated.

Also again, the main entrance is not used for these big races. Entrances are on Canyon Del Rey in Del Rey Oaks and River Road in Salinas.

I am planing on getting there between 7:30 and 8:00 AM and am looking forward to meeting many of you. My car is medium blue with white stripes and black pipes.

I also live in Pebble Beach so i can leave anyone's name at the gate so if you want to see the exhibits at the PB Lodge or cruise the 17 mile drive, I can get you in without having to pay the $9.50 gate fee. Just PM me or email me if you want gate clearance.

If anyone wnats to meet up for lunch or dinner anytime during the week, let me know. I will be at Baja Cantina Thursday from about 2:30 on and at the track all day Saturday. I have no other definate plans other then that, but will be stopping by the Mecam auction and PB Lodge exhibits sometime on Friday. I am available all week as i am retired, so if anyone wants to hang out just let me know. I will be going to the track with a friend but he has his own car so I will have an empty seat if anyone needs a ride to the races on Saturday. I will be leaving no later than 7:30 AM though.

Hope to see a bunch of you during the week.

Mike

Mike,

Are you bringing a large EZ-UP on Saturday?

The only way to make it worth it is to daisy-chain about four or more together side by side. I thought about brining my 10x15 at one point but only if we could get a group of us to do it together. If we had a committment from others, after we park all the Cobras I would consider bringing mine out later in another car on at 10:30 Saturday morning. We'd have to find a good place to put them up. Might be pain to get them out there after the Corral is full, etc. I'd consider it if we could chain five or more together. PM me if needed. Thanks. DC

I don't own one anymore because it would not fit in the cobra and I usually go to events in the Cobra and do not have anyone else to bring it. So i sold mine a few months ago. The down side of a cobra trunk.

Last time I was at the track it was so hot that all the spectators near me were huddled up under the stairs of the bridge just to get out of the sun. My steering wheel got so hot, I could not hold it with my hands. I had to drive with my arms through the spokes and used rags to insulate my arms. That taught me to bring gloves even on a nice day. So if we can get people that are bringing other vehicles to bring along some canopies I know they will be well used.
