Bigger is NOT necessarily better!
Why do we need 800 cars? So we can raise another $500.00 for CF?

The event and it's organizers are having a problem hosting 300 cars. Can you imagine the nigtmare of finding hotels and places to eat for that many people.

What happens to the town of London with that many people? What do you do, wait 30 minutes to an hour between runs on the Main Street?

Why the attempt to turn this event into what it was NOT. This wasn't a fund raising event that happened to have some Cobras in it. This started as a Cobra gathering that happened to raise some money for a charity.

The bigger it is, the worse it becomes. The logistic of such an event is such that, if it gets any bigger DV is liable to loose money rather than raise money for CF.

How is DV going to host this event with 300, 400 or even with 10 cars when he no longer lives in the area? Why not move this event to some other neutral location, more accessible and better suited to hosting a large crowd?

As for Smiths.....I don't know exactly how much money was handed over to CF, we never got that I don't believe, Smith's are fully capable of writing a check for that amount and donating the money themselves without the wear and tear on their already ill child. Hell, they probably spent more than that just to get there.

I don't know about you guys but, I have lost all interest in this thing not for what it is or was, but because what it is being turned into.

We are NOT Jerry Lewis! We are just people with Cobras. Most of us give plenty to charity where we live. We don't need to travel to London OH to donate money to CF.

As a matter of fact, I would be willing to bet, I can raise more money for CF next year without leaving my house. I will donate 100% of all money donated to CF and never leave my computer. ZERO overhead, no oxpenses, and if I don't accept Pay Pal or credit cards no commissions.

Let me do that, send the money to CF with FULL ACCOUNTING. That way we get all the charity part of it out of the way and go have fun without the emphasis being on Jenny. What do you guys think?
