Good work John, Now how about I work on getting Dennis and Bob to come up and do some instructing as they do at VIR. Usually a little skid pad work to learn how your car oversteers and understeers with throttle and brake input etc. then a little in car drives if possible, depending on the rules of the track with a passenger in a car with only one roll bar. We can certainly have some class room instructions that ma help. I'll work on that guys.

Great job, now just remember don't get too wore out that ya'll can't hang in Tulsa. 'Cause I'm coming with my Jimmy Buffet shirt and all, so crank up them Marawitttaaaasss!!!!!

There's a party in my pants and the girls are coming.

Hello World · #64 (**permalink**) 03-12-2002, 06:26 PM

I spoke with John Ross. He mentioned this event and I told him that I would would go. Please put my name down and I look forward to meeting everyone. This will be the first time out for my Cobra. Recently acquired.

Gary Morris · #65 (**permalink**) 03-13-2002, 06:19 AM

John...can we hand deliver our checks this weekend? Either Saturday @ TCC or Sunday @ SCAT?

Gary

Gary,
Please bring the checks Sunday to the SCAT meeting, since I will be playing "Volleyball Dad" at Lyndsie's tournament all day Saturday.
Dear "Hello World", I would be glad to put your name down IF I had any idea what your name is! Have you joined the Texas Cobra Club yet, and what kind of car did you recently acquire??
I welcome you, and this is a good decision in learning what the new car- and you- are capable of.
See y'all Sunday
John R.

Wanted to be the first one to say you can put my car thru the paces at MotorSport Ranch if your car is not fixed. Hopefully it won't be a problem but you never know. Just be sure you come!!!!

John,

My check went out today. Thanks for all the work you have done on this!! I can't wait.

Hello World is Clint Henderson who just purchased a Blue and White Contempory w/427so out of New York. His car is at Norwoods now getting the once over. should be ready for the April meeting. I talked with him yesterday and he should be sending you a check shortly.

David McKenzie is out of town but I will talk to him next week and give him your info to send a check.

Chip,
I received your check today, and you are in!!!
The question now is who becomes #6??
Boy, the suspense is just killing me.........
John R.

jrussell · #71 (**permalink**) 03-15-2002, 05:13 PM

Wow, the mail was good to me today!
John Ross is #6 and Clint Henderson is #7, which is impressive indeed! Clint just joined the TCC, and only has posted a few times(Hello World), but he sure got his check to me ASAP!! Just the kind og guy I like, a man of his word!!
I think I will be picking up at least two checks at the SCAT meeting Sunday, and we might have 10 paid up attendees-entrants by Sunday night!
This is way COOL, and I do know a few of our members are not "internet connected", and rely on the telephone, so I am feeling REAL GOOD about this event. I will talk to Jack Farr next week, and will probably send him the first batch of checks next week sometime.
I will keep you posted!!

John Russell.....gettin' there!!

JBAIRD · #72 (**permalink**) 03-15-2002, 05:18 PM

I'll play if you all can be nice to me, you know how anal Sharapata and I are!!! We need to go to Ennis and find out who has the Quickest car for the drivers ability to get it to the ground. I think we'd have a ball on a Friday night with all the teeny- boppers. What do you all think?? Party in the parking lot in Ennis sometime??

jrussell · #73 (**permalink**) 03-15-2002, 05:51 PM

Drew,
I'm up for that, but we have to do the Ranch first!!
You know I am always nice to you, just like how I immediately returned your windbreaker after Austin!

Oh, wait a minute, I still have it, yep I see it on the chair in the dining room withthe note on it to take it to Drew......crappola!
How about I bring it to the SCAT lunch this Sunday & return it? You will be there, won't you??

See you soon,
John R.
ps you WILL be at the Ranch with us, won't you.... I am holding a space for that Bad Boy your building!!

All Right....
Let's here it for the Houston bunch!! Lawrence Bell is now #12 on the list, & I STILL haven't heard ANYTHING from our Fearless Leader (Dennis...hint,hint). It is really getting interesting now.
John R.

Rick Orsini · #78 (**permalink**) 03-24-2002, 08:44 AM

If you've still got an open spot, I'd like to join in. Let me know if I need to send in the money.

Thanks,
Rick Orsini

jrussell · #79 (**permalink**) 03-24-2002, 11:48 AM

Let's hear it for the Houston bunch, 'cause I just got home from a Boy Scout campout with my son & in th email was a check from Mike Miller- #13. ALL RIGHT!!!
Rich, send me your check & join in on the fun!! The information is listed in prior posts as to $(95), addressee(Jack Farr) and who to send it to (me, John Russell-5354 Monticello Ave, Dallas, Texas 75206), so you are giong to have to scroll back & look in up

John R.

ps. Send the check, I still have room for you.

jrussell · #80 (**permalink**) 03-26-2002, 07:18 PM

Whoah!!!!!!!!!!!
Today's mail brought #14- Clay Fugate, and #15- David Mckenzie & #16- Mark Mckenzie. What a day!!
John Ross, thanks for calling the McKensies and being their conduit to the Club, but the check David sent poses a potential problem.
I guess it got lost in the shuffle, but David made the check out to "Cobra Club" instead of Jack Farr. I will call Jack tomorrow, and also call David on this.
Oh well, if this is the only problem we run into on this deal we are ahead of the game.
I am still looking for the rest of the guys that posted, so get 'um in the mail boys!!
John Russell
