[klayfish]

Turk or Computerworks, can you please make this a sticky, or put it somewhere where everyone can see it.

I I'm computer challenged and couldn't figure out how to make a poll. Can someone PLEASE make the name poll I describe below and attatch it to this thread!! Thank you. t

We are moving forward with our plans to create a chartered Cobra owners group, as has been discussed thoroughly on the previous threads. In case anyone missed them, here are those threads.

We need your help, and your vote is EXTREMELY important, since the group will be run and shaped by everyone.

First, the very basic concept of chosing the name. There are two suggestions. I am trying to make a poll, but I'm not good with computers, so if I fail, can someone help me? The choices are:
1. CBCA- Custom Built Cars Association
2. ASR- Association of Street Replicas

Next order of business is setting our agenda. I will post what I have, and hopefully my partner in crime will correct me if I miss something.
1. Create a basic safety checklist for all of our cars. Again, nothing extreme, just safety basics.
2. Encourage driver education and common sense driving on the street. This can be accomplished by many means, such as driving schools, autocross, and just plain smart street driving. This does not equate to no fun, just the opposite. Lots of fun!
3. Help the industry (resale, "credibility", etc...) by having an established, recognized organization with a known standard
4. Help ensure insurance is available for everyone, by showing that our vehicles are well built and we are safe drivers, and therefore a good risk.
5. Have one strong voice for positive change and input on the enthusiast hobby
6. SAVE LIVES! This will be done through all of the points above.

If I am missing something, let me know. But we want to keep it easy and simple, K.I.S.S.

This organization must be done by US, run by US and by a voice for US. No outside influences, such as manufacturers or insurance companies. We want to make our relationship with them very positive, but we need to govern ourselves.

What we want now, besides your vote on the name is input on the safety list. I am not a builder, so I am out. But those who have built and can contribute, please do. Again, as we have said before, we are not asking people to put in airbags or ABS. Nor do we expect to limit horsepower or take away your fun. Just a simple checklist of basic safety items to ensure our builds are quality and we are as safe as we can reasonably be in our cars.

Thanks so much for your help, and we will move forward with this. One last thought...We will need to stay in this for the long haul. It will not happen overnight. But it WILL HAPPEN!!!!
