Roll Call to all ClubCobra members:
Who from ClubCobra is planning on going to Concourse Weekend / Monterey Historics 2003 ?
Request:
If you are planning on going this year, please reply to this thread with a (yes/maybe) and indicate what events you might be attending. A few of us are wondering who might be going this year from ClubCobra?
“Its 100 years for Ford, and 40 years for Shelby this year"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few of us in
NorCal Cobras on ClubCobra thought it would be interesting to see who is going, and to provide some additional links for others who might be interested. FYI: If you are interested in attending this year, lodging is very tight. If you call in for lodging plans before the end of January, or contact the Monterey Chamber of Commerce soon, they can “sometimes” help you to find available rooms or get you on to various waiting lists for lodging as a central contact point. This saves on the long distance phone calls to each of the sold out hotels! Good Luck and maybe we’ll see some of you there this year. Duane/decooney on Club Cobra.com
