Mesa Mike, thank you for bringing up the subject. We have always wondered why more people don't show up for our weekend trips. They are so much fun. We never figured that out. We tried a web page, we have an e-mail list of about 70 owners and we used it. We have CC as our community information center. We could use a Facebook page but who is willing to establish it and maintain it? Even if we had one, it will probably be no better than CC.
Actually, when we have 10 cars it's pretty difficult to keep everyone together. Specially when driving through cities or towns. Always getting separated by stop light. From experience, about half of the drivers are simply following, without map or GPS and it usually works out just fine. Maximum group size to stay together is about 13. Beyond that we may need car to car communications and hand out map copies.
Keep in mind, cobra owners are pretty much type A personalities. They have lots of interests and keep busy at work and home. Other comittments keep getting in the way. Money wise, I spent about $300 for room, food, booze and fuel for the last trip (I'm cheap) so money counts. Perhaps more for the younger members.
We are always open to suggestions, but bigger is not always better (such as restaurant seating.)

Hey Bob,
Jeff Grice here in Michigan...
Interested to get feedback on your Club participation. We have about 115 members.
It seems that:
1/3 join anticipating they will have time to participate but life gets in the way
1/3 join largely for our big event at the Woodward Dream Cruise
1/3 join and plan to be active in many events.
As far as meetings, we usually get the same people at our monthly meetings (15-25).
In terms of coordinated events we will get anywhere from 10-20 cars depending on the event and time of year.
Interested to see how this observation lines up to your experiences.
Best
Jeff - SPC0136
