#14 Anniversary/Christmas Party is now history. The rain Gods held off and we enjoyed a cloud-covered, pleasant, dry day. The clouds may have scared some away but I think we still had over 40 people, 25+ Cobras, a couple of Ferdinand's finest (one that just dyno'd over 800HP at the rear wheels). Ron had a friend drive that one so he could drive his aluminum blocked, 427, EFI stack injected continuation car. What a decision he has to make! Pete and Jan brought their gorgeous V-i-per roadster that replaced their Backdraft. Several folks from Tucson, some newbys, some oldbys, lots of good people, 'way too much good food, maybe one or two lies told. Dennis May once again allowed this motley crew to enjoy his hospitality. He showed off his sweet '40 Ford, which is the next step on his bucket list, after selling his beautious ERA, 289FIA, to me. The Yankee Swap gift exchange was fun, more for some than others, and several trophies were awarded. Someone will have to chronicle those results since I either couldn't hear the winners, or maybe I forget...
Bob Broberg did an excellent job of organizing and the thingy went off without a glitch. I'd imagine he had helpers and I'll let him give the props.
Thanks to everyone that braved the mid 60*s weather. Those that didn't show...you missed a good time.
