HEY BRENT, YOU KNOW ME AND KNOW ALMOST EVERY OLD MEMBER OF THIS SITE. I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING A LOT AND HAVEN'T STAYED UP WITH THE SITE LIKE I USED TO. THE GROWTH AND NUMBER OF MEMBERS IS OVERWHELMING. THE NEW ADDITIONS IS A TRIBUTE TO WHAT THIS SITE MEANS AND WAS INTENDED TO DO,,,BRING SOME FOLKS TOGETHER THAT LOVED THE CARS...AND THAT CREATED THE LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE.
I MISS THE OLD DAYS AND THOUGHT MAYBE AN "OLD TIMERS SITE" MIGHT DO US OLD TIMERS SOME GOOD.
I REMEMBER WHEN GARY MORRIS TOLD ME OF THE SITE AND I CALLED DV AND TOLD HIM. SO MANY THINGS TOOK OFF IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. NEW CLUBS, NEW RELATIONSHIPS, DVSF, CONSUMER WATCH, THE LOUNGE, ETC.
WE WERE FEW AND AVID AND SMALL IN THE NUMBERS BUT GREAT OF HEART AND PASSION.
THE MORE I WATCH THE SITE NOW THE MORE I MISS SOME GOOD FRIENDS WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.
I MISS JOHN McMAHAN (SP) AND HIS DEDICATION TO FAIRNESS, ROBERT EVENS TELLING HOW HE FIT IN HIS CAR, TURK AND HIS THONG THINGIE, THE SEMKOS AND THEIR GREAT APTITUDE FOR PISSING EVERYONE OFF...FOR JUST A MOMENT, YOUR TALES OF NOT KNOWING WHICH MFG YOUR CAR WAS AND THE TALES OF WOES IN THE ENGINE AND REBUILD, SHERRY'S AND YOUR TRAVELS AND GROWING, THE DAYS OF EVERY COBRA BEING A MASTERPIECE AND NOT WHO HAS WHAT BRAND OR SB/BB, ALUMINUM OR FIBERGLASS, RIGHT FEATURES OR WRONG RIVETS.
YOU HAVE BUILT A TRULY WONDERFUL SITE AND MAYBE I AM JUST OUT OF TOUCH OR HAVEN'T POSTED ENOUGH. WITHOUT THIS SITE I WOULD NOT HAVE RACED DV IN TEXAS, TCC WOULD NOT EXIST, DVSF WOULD NOT BE HERE, MIKE BLAKE WOULD STILL BE A NAME IN A MAG, R&G WOULD STILL BE WAY SMALL, GEORGE ANDERSON WOULD HAVE MORE HAIR AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW ABOUT HIS BREAKOUT, WAYNE TURPIN WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO BUILD AN EARTH SHATTERING BIG BLOCK, WE NOW KNOW WHO RICH PICKLES IS,,, SOOOOO MUCH MORE!
HOW ABOUT A SITE OR CATAGORY THAT LETS ONLY THE OLD TIMERS IN TO TALK ABOUT OLD TIMES...NOT THE GOVERNOR ARNOLD OR WHO WEARS WHAT UNDERWEAR WHEN THEY RACE OR WHAT POLISH TO USE...BUT OLD FRIENDS AND THE ONES THAT GOT US HERE.
I THINK BEFORE ALL OF THE OLD RECORDS WERE LOST MY MEMBER NUMBER WAS 331. HOW ABOUT A CUT OFF OF THE MEMBERS UNDER 1,500.
BY THE WAY I STILL THINK COBRAS ACROSS AMERICA IS A GREAT IDEA. FOR THOSE WHO READ THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS ABOUT... YOU CAN'T POST ON THIS NEW SITE.
