Take a walk out behind the track sometime and you'll see what I mean. I really love the place...was a competitor there in the seventies and eighties.

Who cares? I'm not telling owners to drive their cars in the pits. I just thought the "Bowl" would be a convenient place for some Connecticut and Rhode Island owners to get together. So I was wrong, the only Cobra owner there was me. Hey, I tried. For the record, if you're just interested in the cruise, the "Bowl" is fine. It's paved from the road to the cruise area and the show is terrific, especially for zero cost. Just watching the 10 second burn-outs was amusing.
Last night my better half and I went to Marcus Dairy. Five Cobras showed-up, me (SPF), Bob S. (ERA) and three BDRs (Jay, Rick and I'm not sure). Took Route 25, to the Merritt to Route 95 home. Going home we encounterd a sobriety check (passed), a very nasty Route 25, a bumpy ramp between 25 and the Merritt and paving on I95. Does this mean the Marcus Dairy cruise is off the table?
