Okay.... my $0.02 after following this thread for a while......
Most folks did what they wanted to do on Friday (I know we did), be it track time, drive to the track and watch, cruise the Lake, or Virginia City, etc. Although there was nothing other than track day that was organized, so it was hit-n-miss meeting up with other Cobras.
How 'bout sign-ups for those interested in -
Cruising to the track and observe
Cruising to the track and back through V. City
Cruising over Mt Rose and around the Lake
Girl/Guy car wash
Etc, etc, etc
Just some sort of structure so those that have a common interest can meet up.
Also, I like Edley's idea of some form of closing ceremonies for the Bash on Saturday night... assuming any one is sober at that point

Why not turn WSCB into Run-N-Gun for the West Coast, since many will never travel 2,000 miles to run their cars? Three Day Track Event...just a thought.
I also think a cruise around the lake would be cool...gets the wife involved and not spending money.  |

How about a 1st timer run group instead of the 5 lap lunch cruise laps. Stagger lunch one group at a time from 11am - 1PM and keep running. Line everyone up first thing in the morning for the picture and get it out of the way. I think a blue group, red group and 1st timer group would work very well. You could make the first couple of sessions for the first timers follow the instructor, no pass, and control the pace very well. Let the blue group do a orientation session the first time out and then let them go thereafter. Red could be done as this year with instructor cars circulating during their sessions for lead follow instruction as desired.
The museum is a good idea for those who don't want to go out to the track.
Virgina city on Saturday with a lunch all together in one place might be fun.
One day of track time at this kind of function is best. Two days will result in a lot more broken parts, trailered cars, tire swapping etc. etc. etc. One day was prefect. This isn't really a open track weekend, after all, its a fun weekend get together with a track component. Great combination !!!
Oh, and thanks again everyone for all the hard work!!!!

Thanks/Idea
Foremost thanks to everyone that made this event happen. It was my families first time and we had a blast! People don't always realize the work/commitment envolved to make events happen.
Being a WSCB newbie and not belonging to a group we missed the extra "private" outings. We observed the open track sessions but would have loved to take another small road trip in the Cobra.
Open track driving is not for everyone, but another organized casual road trip would allow another activity. My problem is, I have four other family members that all want seat time, the more driving I can do with a group the better!

Hey Jeff.....I agree with Edley!! Get your wife in a Cobra of her own!!!! I know how you feel with sharing rides with the family, my kids have to take turns depending on when and where we go. But when it gets hot, cold, sunny, windy.... they all end up in the truck and I am by myself in the car.......the traitors...... Got to love the 15 year old mood swings. |

How about a visit to the Top Gun airforce base outside Reno, as mentioned on Friday evening by the gentleman in the back, a former pilot.
