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.
