THANKS For the MEMORIES!
It was a wonderful weekend.
We need to vote on a few things as a group.

Donna and I did not decide to come down until we heard the weather report on Thursday. The front had stalled and the weather would be dry for Friday, Sat and Rain again on Sunday.
There were 92 pre registered and about 15 no shows, I would guess half due to the cold weather. We waited to drive back until 1 on Sunday and did not catch the Rain until Corscicana. The last three hours driving home really sucked. It was raining so hard you could only see the 18 wheeler in front of you. It is 6:45 am Monday morning and it is still raining out there, and according to the tv will until at least noon. My vote is to move the weekend up to the Friday Sat before March 17 (st. patricks day). We have been celebrating St. Paddy's day since I can remember and it always falls in the Middle of LENT. before easter. We have to party every year while we are fasting. I never recall the weather being bad, not like February anyway.
If you book a Caribbean Cruise in August you will more than likely run into Hurricane Weather. Book in April or May and the chances are pretty much NIL. What I am saying is Feb is our Cobra Hurricane weather and two weeks later it is practically NIL.
I have heard all the excuses about spring break, baseball etc. Our spring break at BPCC is first two weeks of FEB so we can go snow skiing in Colorado. We spend about 500 to $1000 when we leave for the weekend and it would be nice to be able to spend some time looking at your beautiful cars. I am not a waxer or a multi car racer, but I know the expense you have tied up in your cars and it would be nice to look at them in the sun.
I took over 200 photos and will get them up tonight on CLub Photo. you can do a search on tgdg to find them. The lighting on Saturday was flat because we had no sun. You can download these for yourself or have club photo print them for you. They will print up to 16x20 and still look good. I have not printed any larger than that yet. The 1600x1200 resolution is Olympus and their JPG compression is better than most others. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I DID NOT KNOW there was a professional photographer on the premises and my apologies to him. I just love Cobras and took these for my own pleasure.
sorry this was so long,
Donna and I will be back, we had a blast.
