I have been reading all the input and suggestions for the Anniversary Party 2016 and have come to this conclusion.
Although other cars are often welcome to some events, this annual gathering has always been about the Arizona Cobras Car Club since our inception at Gordon Levy’s Tempe Shop in December of 2001. If we properly promote the 17th Annual Arizona Cobras Anniversary Party with online, emails and flyers, I’ll just bet we will see 40+ cobras and 80+ members show up to enjoy the camaraderie, the food and drink we bring, the White Elephant gifts, the toy and wagon donations to Phoenix Children’s Hospital and admire the cars themselves. The only expenses are under $20 gift (you go home with one) and toy/wagon donations which are deductible. We need to bring food and drink. The only deterrence would be weather.
As a club we have had few members race their cars. We all want to, but few do it. Lack of support for an autocross or track time should not lessen our determination to have a special event. Bill Godwin has come up with this idea and confirmed the location. Do your racing going to and coming from the party. By our estimates Arizona has 125+ cobras. We are looking for only 1/3. There are groups in Phoenix, Kingman, Prescott, Payson, Tucson, Flagstaff, Havasu, etc. We just have to get the word out.
I am proud of how this club has maintained itself with events, respect and high regard from all other cobra clubs. 17 years for a club is a long time. We all wish Mikie and Ginny were back but, many fine members have stepped up to fill the gaps. I love you guys.
This event can be another bright future memory for all and, I hope, the start of something big.
