CobraDans Cobra Bash Success Story

[CobraDan]

The Florida weather held out for three straight days with no rain in Cape Coral. The only rain victim was Mike Iodice from St Augustine. Mike was coming in on Friday and he said it stormed all day. Cobra Dan’s Cobra Bash was a great family get together. We had most of the guys arriving with their wife’s and Ed Kamptner’s son had to be pried from my pool, I think there were more than 50 people total. Jerry Rowley, go out in the garage and get a hammer it’s time to bust open your piggy bank you owe me a dinner. We had 18 Cobras, one Mustang Cobra 2003, and one Corvette in attendance. I signed up two more members, and both were proud owners of Backdraft Racings new Cobra. We had one Cobra with a SOHC Ford engine putting out 700HP that would have won the award for being the loudest. I didn’t get to sign him up and make him the 300th member of our club. He does live in Fort Myers and I will sign him soon. He told me that next time he would bring his real GT40, Ed would you like to run down for that get together? I didn’t find time to take any pictures but I had Jim O’Brien take pictures of all the cars for me. We had some pictures taken by the News-Press and were interviewed for an article for the local paper. I met with people in our club I consider old friends and we all met new people and members. Bringing along the wife’s and kids kept the four letter words to a minimum and really made this a family affair. I discussed a family weekend at one of the smaller theme parks in Florida, mainly incase of rain and also keeping our club family orientated. Our meeting was cut short by the arrival of the News-Press. I will pursue the theme park to see if they would be interested in having such a fun group. If the theme park works out I would like to know if we have any interest from are 8 states or should we keep this for Florida only. Ed Kamptner passed out all the info on our next outing the Reptile RoundUp, November 15-16-17, 2002. Please follow Ed’s post, and post your self so we get the memberships views. I know Joe Smith wanted to say a few words about the next Gainesville event and I’m sorry we got cut short and never got back to the BS session. Watch for both Joe and Ed keeping you up dated on our clubs events. At this time I want to thank everyone for coming and making this event another success.
