Talking B-club.

Hi guys well we got home safe and very tied I think we were lucky to get sunday in with the weather that came thru on monday.
I just want to thank the b club for the darkside trophy it was very apropreate its a shame those chevs couldnt mix it up with the lexus its stock you know just like the chevys.
The new cobra was a handfull all weekend hope to get it sorted by next year 12 months of development will make a big difference.
See you all then.

Just arrived in Sydney.

Phil Mizzi - It's been said, but should be again. Great job and good decisions by your management team made under the toughest circumstances I have seen at a Nationals.

All the newbies - Great cars, well done

All the drivers - tough conditions and no negative track incidents - Brilliant

Hughie - lay off the rain next year - Please !

Queenslanders - Great to see you all again, and I'm pleased to report that beer profits remain bullish into the foreseeable future.

See you all in 12 months, if not sooner

Cameron "House of Bling" Parsons

Back home at last....missing the Nationals already.

Many many thanks to Phil, and all of the N.S.W. gang for an outstanding job.

All of the Queensland gang have expressed their gratitude for all of the efforts made to make this week so special.

Cheers,

Warren.

Default The Committe make me look good.

I thank you all for your kind words of support for the testing job we had at the nationals this year.

The rain certainly slowed down the racing but the atmosphere was electric with everyone taking the opportunity to enjoy each others company.

The real thanks go to the committee who work hard all year round making the event the success it is.

Dave, Don, Jeff, Tracey, Phil Lynn, Margaret, Peter, Kevin and Karen.

I would also like to thank all the competitors and friends who give us the support, who accepted our decisions and always looked at the bright side of the challenges we faced.

A big thanks to all the volunteers, flagies, and scruteneers. To the preses, Tony, Cameron, Warren and also the SA rep Bruce for giving us there time in judging the cars in the show and shine.

A big thanks to all of our sponsors, please look up our website as we have them listed and please support them when ever you can.

Not long to go before the 16th Cobra Nationals can’t wait!

Phil

Sambo,

The Cobra is the photo is owned by Bruce Allen from Adelaide.

If you have a copy of 'Snaketales', he is the current editor.

All of his details are in 'Snaketales'.

If you do not have a copy PM me and I'll send all details to you.

Cheers

Bernie

Vettestr

Jeff,

Good to see you over here having a look around.


I was going to do the Run N Gun this year but managed to get myself busy here.

I did catch up with Mulv when in Az. recently.

May catch up soon.

Bernie

Thanks PHIL and the NSW crew. A great event and have already booked for next year.
Lots of work to be done to make our car go fast through corners but still a great weekend. Thanks again PHIL. Happy to drive to Sydney "just" to pick up a fuel pump for ya anyday. New tyres... what new tyres!
Great putting some forum names to faces and catching up with everyone!

HI Matt,

Thanks heaps for picking up the pump. I owe you big time.

Also Matt, I also should appologize, when presenting the Best non ford powered Trophy I should have mention you both, not just Scotty. I am not real comfortable speaking publically, but that is no excuse.

Phil

Back at ya Bernie,
Sorry I missed you while here in town the last time. I glad you were able to hook up with Mulv. He told me a little about the Cal. trip and it sounded like all had a blast. He was up to my place not to far back with the white 64 Vette. He tossed me the keys and we chased it around the neighborhood a few times. The steering box was in dire need of tightening up a but I had worked one over for him that he left with. His Vette is very nice and think the steering box was the only thing left that he had not reworked on the car.

I will keep the porch lite on for you until next time you are in town and watching the threads and great photos here of the fun you all are having. Jeff C
