Up date on the "Cobra Bill".

DOT, as it turns out, is NOT in favor of the Bill and DID show up to testify against in the Senate hearing. In spite of that the Bill DID pass muster and TODAY was heard by the House. DOT, again, showed up to testify against us. BUT, their testimony was "not that bad", it was almost like they were going through the motions but didn't really have the "heart" to kill bill.

Rep. Ito blew us away with his WONDERFUL opinion of the Bill and his 100% support! This from a Representative I personally had NO previous knowledge of! Quite shocking!

He spoke of how these cars are owned by people who spend more time waxing them than driving them. How the cars become a "part" of them. The rest of the committee may not have clearly understood the "passion" but the local Cobra Club guys did!

I tell you, it was totally awesome to hear this kind of talk in the House of Representatives!

I'm just SURE it will pass the House, then onto some "committee" and finally the Gov's desk. We (local Cobra Club) have requested a personal meeting with the Gov to discuss the matter and convey our "passion".

Keep your fingers crossed, this is gonna be BIG.
