C'mon down!
Ray, come and take all the pictures you want - I'm pretty sure most will let you sit in a car to see how it fits you, too. I have a Unique and you are welcome to try it on for size.
So - the answer(s) is YES.

Gee Bill, thanks for bringing me out of the closet and throwing me to the wolves....  Cobra ownership again is still in my future...just hopefully before I reach the age of incontinence.
Rick,
Sorry, that's one improvement that we need to make for next year. I've had several requests for confirmation of registration. Right now, I basically keep an Excel spreadsheet that I update as I can. But I'm supposin I dun need to get more sophistimicated and do e-mail confirmations next year.
Absolutely you are free to join us Ray, and take all the photos you want. Who knows, you may even capture something that will make good blackmail material with one of the group....
Steve

Hey Steve,
I did originally leave out the minivan and the John Deere riding mower. From what I've heard from "Da Bunnies" you've spent more time riding the mower than driving the Corvette collecting dust in your garage

Matt,
When you pull in you will not miss it. We gather right near the front of the park and it is a relatively small place.

Steve and everyone else who contributed towards this year's event, I wish to thank you for yet another great time. I enjoyed seeing everyone. Finally a year when rain wasn't a factor!
Maybe we should plan an event in the fall at the end of the season. Once a year isn't enough!
Thanks again!
Chris

I'm for this - just can't spend enough time BS'ing with the folks that I truly enjoy seeing, and see only once a year. Plus, the fall is generally more merciful on us, weather-wise. Hard to believe how much the heat saps the life outta you.....outta me, anyway.
I submit that a run to -?- someplace north-cental Jersey would make it simpler for all the Northern klan. The upcoming SAAC convention down in Vineland in August should go on calendars for all the Southern family.
What say you all? Anyplace in Millburn or Short Hills or outside of Morristown that's useable? Rich Gelinas' Covered Bridge Tour is great, and helps to feed the need, but some spot a hair farther north might help gather the upper end of the states.

Another great CR, it finally rain was not a factor, it was a little warm but all in all a great day.
On the way home my kept complaining " it's hot in here, I just keep feeling heat coming from my feet and slow down". Arguing with your wife never pays off, so I slowed down and when I got home I checked the heater and yes it was on ( I have a valve to shut it off) nothing like a good heater on a 95 degree day.

Awesome & Awesome !!!
I want to thank everyone involved in putting this together and everyone who drove the distance to show their cars. The Daytona and GT40 where an extra treat!
As someone looking into a purchase, I gained an incredible amount by seeing the different manufacturers and speaking with some great people. The differences are dramatic. I can't say one is better then another cosmetically; although some are clearly more "authentic" to the original...
If someone tells me how, I'd be glad to post the photos I took while I was there.
Again, thanks to all!
-Matt

Great event. Good to put some faces to names.
Nice trip home. Ran into some traffic before Delaware on I-95.
Made it home by 5:30. Four hour trip. Hot, humid and sunny.

What heat?
Good seeing everyone.
Mike - Thanks for the route back to 202. Very nice. Why can't towns down there afford 2 lane bridges?
Joe - I'll send you a PM about Blockers. Might need an expensive gift or divorce lawyer (more expensive). I'll test the waters in a couple of days.

Thanks again to everyone that makes this thing happen (you owners who show up even if it is 99 degrees). The time goes by so quick and are only disappointment is we don't get to speak with everyone or anyone for very long.
I guess the question to ask is, at what point in the year is weather optimal in PA? Every time I have been there it is never optimal for Cobras  But seriously, I would love to get another event going towards the end of the season/fall and perhaps one earlier in the spring? Could have a Southern NJ (spring), WC PA (summer), Northern NJ / Southern NY (fall) ... series?

Rick,
Did I forget to pick up my prize?
It was a good day. Talk about getting a Cobra fix. Almost 8 hours of seat time. I loved every minute of it.
Jay,
It was good to see you again. I tried to get Ned to come. I called him after I got home and he said he couldn't sit in his car for that long of a drive. His one leg falls asleep.
People find it hard to believe that my Comp seat is comfortable. I told him
He needs to change his seat. With 1/4" of padding I have no problems with comfort. The seat is shaped to your body.

Tony,
Yes it was great to see you again. We need more events so you can grill yourself in that Kingston special! I totally forgot, I wanted to study that comp seat. Maybe we get an event in Southern NY so Dave can make it down?

I had a great time at the event and thought it was so great of everyone to share their experiences with me with regard to their cobra. I was also truly impressed that no one really "put down" any other brand, but shared what they thought to be the highlight of their particular make. The only problem I have, coming away from this event is that it made it even harder to pick out the right mfr. That said, I will be talking to ERA this week, and hopefully will be able to make a deal on a 427SC.
Here's a link to the pics I took. Hope it works! Sorry that I didn't get everyone's car, but I think I got most! I didn't edit these to brighten any, but probably should have.
