ERA at WSCB, What will you have there?

[lamaluv]

If you live in the west come to the Western States Cobra Bash first then go to CT to visit ERA. You will see lots of ERA cars (over 12 registered so far) at the Bash both old (mine second one built) and new. You will also be able to see a lot of other brands. Everyone will be happy to give you a ride and a few might even let you drive their cars.

See ya at the WSCB

Checking out the shop is the best way to get familiar with the company and what goes into building their cars. If you go during the week their happy to introduce you to everybody there and answer any and all questions. I was just up there last week and there were over a dozen cars (including 4 or 5 FIA's) in various stages of completion from one still in the frame jig to a Peter's completed 427.

Godfather,
If you can wait until May 17th, and can get to Sparks Nevada, you'll have a chance to see a nice variation of ERAs - FIAs, 427s, and variations of colors/themes of these; more ERA knowledge in one place about these cars than you'll be able to consume in one sitting. And, you'll be able to compare side by side to at least 35 different makes of other type Cobra replicas that started back in the 80s.

Here is my first official quote for the ERA booth at WSCB. "It's not a matter of buying an ERA or not, the real decision is more about deciding on an FIA or 427SC or 427 Street version and what color to paint it!"

So there you have it. C'mon out, but be prepared to get your deposit ready once you see the cars. We plan to have paperwork from ERA there.

Spectators are FREE.

Sounds like a visit to the shop may be worth the trip. If nothing else to get buy in from the wife. Anyone else made the trip from a distance that required travel plans and co-ordinating with era? Anyone from The CT area have some suggestions of places to see or things to do while visiting. The chance to see the cars will be enough for me , but I should allow a little time for my wife to do something too.

I was living in CA when I first went up to ERA. Suggest flying into Hartford. I think it was about 30-40 minutes north of ERA. Boston and JFK are a pain and they're about 2 hours drive away. There a bunch of nice B&B's in the area to stay at. Don't have a clue what to suggest to interest your wife. but Peter P says the aviation museum at the Hartford airport is a good one and the submarine museum in Groton, CT is worth the drive south.

Peter Portante would be the one you want to coordinate your trip with. He might even have some suggestions of things you and your wife could enjoy in the area. You can always check one of the AAA guides for CT. If your not a member, shoot me an email and I could scan in some pages from the guide and email them to you when you're ready to plan your trip.

Thanks Warren, I'll check out those museums. I also sent you an email.
