HEY GUYS
WOW, WHAT A WEEKEND!!!!! ALTOGETHOR WE HAD 13 FANTASTIC COBRAS IN ATTENDANCE. WE HAD CARS FROM SAN ANTONIO, SUGARLAND, HOUSTON, CEDAR PARK, KOUNTZE, BOERNE, AND OF COURSE CORPUS CHRISTI. THOSE PARTICIPATING WERE CURT LEZQUI, SCOTT ROBERTS, KEN SMITH, GERRY MILLER, DENNIS MOSLEY, STRETCH WILLIAMS, RYAN LOGAN, BLAKE OLSON, DAVID SHELTON, DWIGHT AND JUDY MURRAY, BILL HALL, JACK MCKENZIE, AND OF COURSE YOURS TRULY PAUL CASS. TALK ABOUT BEING THE ENVY OF THE TOWN. LOTS OF LOOKERS. LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND MAYBE SOME NEW MEMBERS.
TAILGATE PARTY STARTED AT MY SHOP AROUND 5 WITH A LIVE REMOTE TV COVERAGE THAT LASTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. A COUPLE OF COBRAS AND OTHER CARS FOR VIEWING. COBRAS AND OTHER CARS ARRIVED UNTIL ABOUT 10:30. EVERYONE, INCLUDING CARS WERE PUT TO BED BY ABOUT MIDNIGHT. SEVERAL OF US MET AT MY SHOP AROUND 8 AM SATURDAY AND LEFT FOR THE FORD DEALERSHIP ATOUND 8:30. RYAN LOGAN BROUGHT HIS ASSEMBLED BUT NOT PAINTED FF AND DECIDED TO JOIN IN THE CRUISE TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAY TO GO RYAN. AS PEOPLE COULD SEE WHAT ONE OF THESE COBRAS LOOKED LIKE IN A BUILD STAGE HIS COBRA ATTRACTED A LOT OF QUESTIONS. AT THE DEALERSHIP WE ENDED UP WITH ABOUT 35 CARS TOTAL WITH A BIG CROSS SECTION OF VEHICLES.
WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE EVENT CENTER, AGAIN ATTRACTING A LOT OF ATTENTION. AFTER A SHORT STOP AT THE EVENT CENTER THE COBRAS LEFT FOR THEIR CRUISE AROUND THE BAY. I FEEL BAD HERE IN THAT BECAUSE OF A MISCOMMUNICATION ON MY PART CURT AND DWIGHT WERE LEFT BEHIND. MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO BOTH AND THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL CRUISE AROUND THE BAY WITH A STOP IN ROCKPORT TO EAT SEAFOOD AT CHARLOTE PLUMMERS. GOOD FOOD. BY THE TIME WE ARRIEVED BACK TO THE EVENT CENTER A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE WERE GETTING TIRED SO THE EVENT FINISHED A LITTLE EARLY. STRETCH WILLIAMS AND HIS BAND PROVIDED FANTASTIC MUSIC. ALL IN ALL I THINK IT WAS A VERY GOOD EVENT. NEXT YEAR WILL BE EVEN BETTER. I ALREADY HAVE A BETTER IDEA FOR THE CRUISES. AS THIS OLE AGGIE GREW UP WITH SLIDE RULES AND PENCILS I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT DOWNLOADING PICTURES BUT I THINK THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE TOOK SOME. I'LL TRY TO SEE THAT SOME ARE POSTED.
12TH MAN AWARD GOES TO DAVID SHELTON AND BLAKE OLSON. DAVE DROVE HIS CMC THE MOST MILES AND BLAKE FINISHED HIS ON THURSDAY AND STARTED THE TRIP WITH 9 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I'M A WIMP AS I TRAILER MINE TO THE EVENTS.
I'D LIKE TO THANK COORS LITE AND CROSSTOWN FORD AS THE MAJOR SPONSORS FOR THE EVENT. BILLY BAISH FOR SCHEDULING THE SHOW AT FIESTA SQUARE. AND THE COBRA CLUB MEMBERS THAT CHIPPED IN TO PAY FOR SECURITY-WHICH DIDN'T SHOW, SO I GAVE THE MONEY TO THE DJ WHO THOUGHT HE WAS WORKING FOR FREE. AND ALL MY MUSTANG CLUB BUDDIES WHO HELPED OUT.
FOR ME IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL COBRAS TO SHOW OF TO CORPUS CHRISTI.
THANKS TO ALL,
PAUL
PS THE AGGIES BEAT OKLAHOMA!
