When the original people who ran the event turned it over to the local club, it s l o w l y went down the toilet. Too bad , used to be a great meet.

Actually the meet has always been run by the SCAT group. Shelby Cobra Association of Texas. The problem over the last 5 years was really 2 fold. The cost of the track got too expensive to rent and they wanted people to have instructors with them. We couldn't cover the costs of the track for 2 days for the die hards that wanted to run. We were getting quotes of around $5000 per day plus EMT costs.

Second... those running the track were really getting into the late model's and those people really didn't want to do the banquet..so we were loosing money here as well.

If you go to Tulsa you can see what it really takes to put on track events...Lots of sponsors. Unfortunately we just couldn't make the numbers work anymore..it was unfortunate.

I will say the Texas 289 was a great way to go out.

Greg,
I talked to Walter last weekend and he told me Mamacita's is moving across from the Convention Center near Target. Like a dummy I forgot to ask how many people they can accommodate in the new location. We eat there regular so I can find out more later.
Have you and Dee met with the Hotel folks yet?

Gregg(What's his name)? 09-02-2009 02:36 PM

Steve,

Dee is working on that end of it. He was downwith some back issues and then the hotel. We can discuss at the Rudy's Car show next weekend.

Seagull81 09-02-2009 08:03 PM

See you there. It would be cool if we won the club award again. Mmmmmmm another free dinner event!

Gregg(What's his name)? 09-03-2009 09:28 AM

Rudy's MMMMMMMMM
 
Hopefully Dee's car will be back from Tony's. Took the car for a spin today. Got the car weighed. She came in at 2700 lbs. Full tank of gas. Saturday is wash and wax day. Water restriction so Saturday is the day.

Don't forget Austin's one bucket rule!

Comments on Spring Meet Planning
 
Hi Gregg & Dee,
I agree with you comments to SSSammy and Jody's comments.
I'm new to the TCC and have only the 35th Mid-America Ford & Team Shelby event to compare with. So, if the intent is to make this an annual business meeting with a bit of "car show" atmosphere, then I feel these things are necessary:
1. Cobra security is a #1 priority, followed by trailer & tow vehicle.
2. The Sat. Banquet/Business Meeting idea sounds good for the TCC and the hotel. They need to have a good ROI.
3. There needs to be a way to have "lawn chair time" around the Cobras to meet new friends and renew acquaintances.
4. Time to walk around the parking lot to see the other rigs is important as well, I think.
This would be the the concerns from this OKIE.

Looking forward to it!

Max,
The things you listed are exactly how the Meet goes. Very informal and we try to include things of interest to fill your day or you can lay around the pool or bar. the big event has been lunch on Saturday with a long cruise to follow. Come on down and join the fun!

David,

The Texas Cobra Club website will up hopefully by the end of next week. It will list the itinerary for the meet and the hotel information. We are trying to finalize a few of the hotel details and then the info will be posted. I will make sure the info is pinned to the top of the CC message board.
