Not Ranked
Hey...just caught wind of this thread, and wanted to add my comments.
As Ray pointed out earlier...we've got about 15-20 of us located in West Tennesee and some of us get together more or leass regularly for breakfast when the weather permits. We've an assortment of cars...some not completed, some turn keys, some dreams...etc.....pretty much the same as most clubs, I'm thinking.
But, I think I can speak for most of us in saying that we'd love to participate in such an event.....but, it needs to be morer centrally located to the region. Last year's Deep South Cobra meeting was held in Georgia, and from what I recall was not well attended for reason's unknown to me. But, from my perspective, it was pretty far for us to drive from West Tennessee...and besides, it was held just too close to another SPF-oriented track event at VIR for me. Can't think of the exact location of last year's DSCC meeting, but there just wasn't that big a turnout.
For me, personally, we need to have diversions for those not interested in Cobras to attend while those of us that ARE are off "doin- our thang", so to speak. I like the Asheville area....Biltmore Estate is absolutely beautiful in the Spring and Fall...and what better picture could you ask for than several dozen Cobras parked out front for a group pitcure???? Waaaay too cool! I'd also like something in the Atlanta area....very centrally located....Road Atlanta (busy most every weekend, but something we could shoot for)....plenty of MAJOR diversions for others....great shopping...lotsa good restaurants, etc.
Also, Nashville....has a race track facility...may be difficult to schedule, but not out of the question....Opryland, major amusement and theme park....Opryland hotel would probably be willing to host us.
New Orleans....GREAT food....No Problem Raceway is close by and not too busy most of the time....did I mention GREAT food? French Quarter...need I say more? Reasonably centrally located....
Savannah....or Charleston....nice destinations....lotsa 'touristy' stuff to do...incredible history....and although not 'centrally located' close enough to drive in a day from anywhere in the southern states area.
I'd LOVE to say right here in Memphis....but, even though Tunica's close, and we cook the absolute BEST barbeque in the world....(hey, where do they hold the World Championship Barbeque contest each May?)....we can't even be remotely considered as being 'centrally located"...especially to the Atlantic Coastal side of Florida. We DO have Memphis Motorosports Park, and eventually a track is on the drawing board for Tunica....could be fun, but they've not even broken ground for it yet!
There...there's some ideas to smoke over. Whatever the decision is....I know I'll do my best to support the event and be there, if timing and scheduling permits it.
I have other ideas...but, sooner or later, I've got to get back to work here! More later....
