Spring Fling is a GREAT function and serves a greater cause than just allowing Cobra owners bragging rights. I have supported DV and all those associated with the Fling with everything but my presence and that is only because of scheduling conflicts. Furthermore my continued support will be there next year regardless of the agenda, whether I make it or not. The cause is Right!

Sure I would like to see some other options but not at the risk of loosing any support Spring Fling has amassed to this point. I plan on being there next year, God willing.

Turk brought up a good point about having several events going at the same time. In Tulsa they have a group that races and a group that does something called a Pony Cruise and then there is the other group that stays at the hotels recovering from the night before. In the evenings everyone gets together for social time. That works for Tulsa because that format has been going on for 29 years. As I understand it the Spring Fling is an opportunity for Cobra owners to get together and BS and show off a little while supporting a worthy cause.

The problem is that I think this thread is drawing a line between Cobra owners that is totally unecessary. There is room for everyone. Hell, I like steak and lobster. The efforts that go into putting on the Spring Fling are huge and I challenge anyone to attempt to put on a better event.

Great job Ed, Tom, Jay, and everyone associated with DVSF III.
