Guys I'm thinking of a couple of attractions for the kick off ride in late April. 1. Basic ct run through Fairfield. County to up state and for a stop or two for some chow.
2. A limerock run for a nice ride and racing spectating
3. A RI Newport mansions sight seeing tour
4. Ct castle run
5. FFR Ma run for factory tour
6.other
Just some ideas all are welcome.

My vote:
No. 3
No. 4
I live in Newport, but the roads aren't as fun/as nice as East Haddam CT.

Other than Route 1, Rhode Island does not have best roads for Cobras. Newport is a long way from home should there be a chance of rain.

we'll always check the weather. I too heard the the roads were not cobra friendly.
I like to drive so the distance dosen't bother me, After all thats what theses cars are made for.
I also found that there will be a Car show in Norwalk, CT in April at their Calfs Pasture. This is always a well attended show and I may consider this event for the Kick Off ride as well.

Car show defeats the purpose of driving, but a nice way to get started... dropped Phil's car off in Haddam yesterday and have to say a run over by Gillete Castle and the Goodspeed would be a nice drive.
Lessons I learned:
1.) Keep it casual.
2.) Under 2 hours.
3.) Forget car shows unless they are the end of the run and people can just leave.
4.) Has to be dry weather for 2 days in advance with virtually no chance of rain day of.
5.) If food is involved have it to start or end.
6.) Wrap up 2 hours or so before dusk.
7.) Minimize traffic lights and stop signs as much as possible on selected route.
8.) Not a race.

I like the idea of a short two hour run east of the river. Sounds good, I'm in if you can put it together. I heard it's nice up at Gillette Castle.

That was was one of MY first recommendations, However, the Norwalk CT Car Show @ calf pasture takes the cake as my kids want to go too.
The season is just starting and we or Jay can plan that ride. I don't mind shorter rides either. My wife thought of the idea of riding into the Gillette Castle area and we will not abandoned the idea, but for now I'm concentrating on the Norwalk Car show. I have some growing interest among family and freinds to attend with cobras as well as other vehicles.
Its more of a car season kick off than perhaps a dedicated cobra run, but its a fun time. Not too many cobras attend this early in the season, so it would make for a nice public surprise. This would be my 3rd year attending the show.
weather permitting of course.

OK dad Guys, your getting way too technical
This is by far one event of many, those of you who wish not to attend dont have to. We can plan for an actual ride at another time.
keep it simple. All are welcome to a nice event. No pressure only fun.
