Thumbs up Announcement from Cobra Roundup - Karen!!

Calling All Cobra Roundup Participants!

Saddle Up Partners, 'cause we've got less than 3 weeks to go to the Innaugural Cobra Roundup Event to be held at Thunderhill on July 2, 2009!

Sign ups have been very active, with new and old friends joining in every day (Yea!), We've been busy behind the scenes too, with so many things happeng that it's hard to know where to start!

Exciting News!
West Coast Challenge racers will be a featured group at the event this year, and we are pleased to present the largest number of hand-built, spec legal racecars to come together on the West Coast in a very long time. Challenge Series racers will join the awesome members of the River City Shelby Club in serving as on-track instructors for the event. Each of these drivers has a ton of racing/performance driving experience at Thunderhill, and we are very fortunate to have their talents available to our students!

Special Featured Guest:
Ed Gavin: Pikes Peak Hill Climb winner, charter Challenge Series competitor, and world traveler who's on-track experience includes driving the legendary Nurburgring in Germany. We are very pleased that Ed will be joining us with his Cobra as an instructor driver and pole sitter for the Spec Challenge on-track, green flag session to be held after lunch. Ed has countless stories to share from his driving adventures, and will be available throughout the day to work with students on-track or to just bench race if you like. Thanks Ed!!!

More Fun Stuff!
In addition to a full day of on-track fun, Cobra Roundup bas added a number of off-track "competition" events for our fun-loving participant. Dig out those old Hot Wheels cars boys and get your poker face on, as the fun is about to begin......Check it out:

Wild Bill: Snakebite Ralley
Yes, it’s a ralley, but this time, no cars involved, as we’ll have an ongoing walking Poker Ralley throughout the pits all day long. You’ll have a chance to visit all of the happening spots at Thunderhill as you ralley around the pits throughout the day in a quest for the high hand. Awards will be presented at the Thursday evening social.

“Hot Wheels” Car Show
Dig out your favorite retro or new style Hot Wheels car, and shine her up for our Hot Summer Car Show. Come on, you know you still have your favorite Hot Wheels car from the days of your youth, so dust it off and get it ready for display. One entry per Cobra Roundup participant; Spouses/significant others may display one additional car as well. Car show awards will be presented at the Thursday evening social.

Rolling Thunder Drag Race
So, in case your Hot Wheels car didn’t win the beauty contest, (‘cause she’s no trailer queen), we’ll be hosting the First Annual "Rolling Thunder Hot Wheels Drag Race" immediately following the final on-track run group of the day. This will be a single elimination, “run what you brung” drag race. (Cheater’s get out your graphite grease, grinders, and aero mods)…..All Hot Wheels car show participants will be eligible to “Run ‘er down the strip” and see who’s got the fastest ride at the Roundup! Top Eliminator Award will be presented at the Cobra Roundup social on Thursday evening.
So grab your boots ‘n hats (and your snake too!), and get ready for some real fun….Cobra Roundup Style!!!!!


See Y'all Very Soon!!
