I hope that I have the right area for the feedback that you asked for. 1) COMMUNICATIONS - EXCELLENT. You kept us aware of what was going on through out the pre-event and also during the event. Thank you for all of the EXTRA effort that you did in this area. 2) ANNOUNCERS STAND : the location was bad at the north end of the area. Next year try for a more central location, like the tent. I say this because the hotel's music system was blocking out your PA system. If possible, get the hotel system turned off during your announcements. 3) COBRA PARKING: if you plan to have a "special" area for "special" people then please let us know in advance so that we don't inadvertanly park in "their" area. I arrived on Thursday and found a nice spot, on Friday I placed a couple of my items in my spot and drove off to clean the radiator of dead bugs / debris. When I returned my items had been moved into a back line area and my spot was taken by cars which were parked diagonally. If the high dollar trailered guys want a special area then just let me know and I'll gladly move my driven car out of their way. 4) A map of gas station locations within a couple of miles would help. It was a four mile drive to the nearest station to the south but only a mile to the one to the north, yea, I flipped a coin and drove south first before I found the one up north. Also, include on the map a location of the nearest car wash with self-service. 5) SECURITY - Outstanding !!! Don't change a thing. 6) HOTEL STAFF - Terrific, they were all courteous and knowledgable. 7) NEW EVENT - ( assuming the same location) how about a twilight drive to Lake Tahoe on Friday evening. We could leave about 5:00pm in small groups and have dinner and drive back to Reno right at sunset. 8) NEW EVENT - A driver's challange course ( skill test) made with orange cones in an unused area of the hotel parking lot. The cost could be a couple of bucks with the winner taking all. 9) DRIVING SAFETY - This was the WORST convoy that I have ever been on in a Cobra. Enroute to Fernley on I-40 I was driving at speeds as low as 30 mph with semis passing me doing 60+. The speed differential was way too much to be safe. Please, please, please, next time break the cars up into groups of 5 to 7 and let them drive at normal speeds. 10) EVENTS - GREAT ! The Fernley road course was worth the admission alone. The drive to Virginia City was frosting on the cake. The Bucket of Blood Saloon ( popcorn and beer for lunch) was fun. 11) OVERALL GRADE - "A" and that's considering an " F" for the I-40 drive. THANKS for the memories, John
