Best way to get the word out
Mesa Mike, thank you for bringing up the subject. We have always wondered why more people don't show up for our weekend trips. They are so much fun. We never figured that out. We tried a web page, we have an e-mail list of about 70 owners and we used it. We have CC as our community information center. We could use a Facebook page but who is willing to establish it and maintain it? Even if we had one, it will probably be no better than CC.
Actually, when we have 10 cars it's pretty difficult to keep everyone together. Specially when driving through cities or towns. Always getting separated by stop light. From experience, about half of the drivers are simply following, without map or GPS and it usually works out just fine. Maximum group size to stay together is about 13. Beyond that we may need car to car communications and hand out map copies.
Keep in mind, cobra owners are pretty much type A personalities. They have lots of interests and keep busy at work and home. Other comittments keep getting in the way. Money wise, I spent about $300 for room, food, booze and fuel for the last trip (I'm cheap) so money counts. Perhaps more for the younger members.
We are always open to suggestions, but bigger is not always better (such as restaurant seating.)
