Look forward to it!

I'm in. I'll meet you at the Putnam Diner as well. Last time I just missed you guys, was going the other way. Turned around and had to play catchup the rest of the trip, you guys are fast.

Is this trip open to anyone, or only members of the Cobra Club? My father built a 1966 427 AC Cobra replica and I just found this site. We were thinking about going.

Well now you're a Club Cobra member, so it doesn't matter now, does it?

Of course all enthusiasts are welcome! We look forward to meeting you and your dad.

Sounds great. Out of curiosity, how many people are estimated to attend this Lime Rock run?

JWheaton · #14 (**permalink**) 08-21-2007, 09:29 AM

I don't know of an exact number, but if the weather is good the their are usually a lot of Cobras and Mustangs that come out for the day.

It is the vintage weekend at Lime Rock so there are always plenty of people and cars in attendence.

That depends !!! The weather is a big factor.., also some of the guy's plan there family events for the holiday weekend and each year is different..... We have had between 7 and 15 cobra's in past years, with a few of the guy's meeting us at the Diner. You just never know how many will show up until the morning of the run.

Alright, my dad isn't sure if he wants to take the cobra to Lime Rock because its never been on that long of a trip. Theres no spare tires, something could break, you know the deal. Anyway, even if we don't wind up taking the cobra, I think we will still head to Lime Rock for the show.

Tony,
Nice run yesterday. A little tough getting caught up on return run. We were at tail end with Bobby and kept getting red TSL's and then locals in the way. Couple of d**kheads blocking us. When we finally got around we caught up. Saw one trooper with a victim, glad is was not one of us.
Jamie, glad to meet you and put the face with the name. Gashole shirt gave you up. Thanks for letting my son use your chair for awhile.

"Long Island Cobras" are a group of local owners that participate in events posted here on Club Cobra. There is no joining ...just participating.

Just a reminder to all that plan on participating on the Run to Lime Rock this coming Sunday... fuel up the night before and remember those E-Z passes....
