Thank you all for being such good sports on this and the "other" topic.
The DSCC is a rather large group (Registry) of Cobra owners and very few active members.
For the most part, our active members have been the ones who race their cars. The PBFFROG group get together at times for car shows and auto-x's.
I have nothing bad to say to those of you who prefer to wax and drive your cars just for cruising. It's your car and you enjoy iy how you like. I prefer to beat the hell out of mine and hopefully not have to buy many parts.
She is purpose built and personally I get more enjoyment passing Jim Pomroy on the track... 
We are however a group of guys who joined a "group" and hopefully want a chance to meet other members and share good times.
So, how can we do this if that is our intention?
Other than a multi-state convoy/poker run, I see no other means to meet all it's members. (That would be cool!)
Now Dues!
I am for them solely to make event planning easier for the host.
Like the posts above have stated, we should not have to dig into our pockets and eventually lose our shirts for the club.
I was able to get some sponsorship for the "Reptile Roundup" and I am very glad I did. I would have lost my shirt.
Thanks also to the Ritters for the money they put out for the T-shirts. They also lost out due to the weather.
anyway guys, we will discuss this at the annual meeting, try and come up with a budget, and propose changes to the forum as soon as we can.
