Trying to put the final agenda together for the Cobra Revolution II. I could use some help. Here's what we have so far.
The Cobra Revolution II itself will be June 5th from about 11am to 3pm, give or take, in Washingtons' Crossing Park. Lots of people have expressed interest in "after event" activities, and some are planning to make a weekend out of it. So once the picnic is over, I would like to organize some kind of cruise and have things to do.
Those who want to join us on Sunday, we will go to the Ford Motorsports Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway.
www.maplegroveraceway.com (look at their schedule and go to June 4th-6th for details). They have a HUGE car show, swap meet, flea market and lots of cool drag racing!
That brings us back to the cruise and the help I need from everyone. For those who want to hang around after CRII ends.... Washingtons' Crossing Park and Maple Grove Raceway are about 2 hours apart. I think the best thing to do, especially for those who are going to stay the night, might be to cruise to a spot that halfway between the two. Which would be Valley Forge or King of Prussia (the location of Cobra Revolution I). My ideas are as follows:
1. Once CRII is over in mid-afternoon, cruise around and stop in New Hope, Pa. which is a quaint town with an eclectic mix of shops, taverns, and people. A very popular hangout and only minutes away from the site of CRII. We'll stop there and hang around for an hour or two. Get back in the cars and cruise the back roads to the Valley Forge area. That way people staying overnight will be right at their final stop for the night, and people who want to hang out for dinner, refreshments or whatever can do so.
2. Same as above, except stop in Peddlers Village instead of New Hope. Peddlers Village is similar to New Hope, but more "upscale" with fancy shops and such. But still nice to see and very popular.
3. Cruise through New Hope and Peddlers Village without stopping. Continue on to Arnolds' gocart track in Oaks, Pa. This is only 5 minutes from King Of Prussia. Hang out there for a few hours, race a few gocarts (with a few friendly wagers). Slide jobs are allowed! Leave there and take a short hop to King of Prussia/Valley Forge where the hotels are.
Or, we could still hang around the Washingtons' Crossing area all day, and those staying overnight can head to the hotels at night (I'd still recommend they stay at a mid-point).
So what do you think is the best thing to do?
