If you want to swim, knock yourself out. If you want to check out women, have fun. If you want to go shopping, then there really is no hope for you.
For cryinoutloud, is this, or is this not, to be a Cobra gathering? The real Cobras raced. They looked awesome, in a time of awesome cars. Autox, drag racing, shows in a parking lot are just the way it should be. People - owners and lookers alike - DO make these things go.
My drive out is 8, going on 9 hours. Same going back. Swimming/ogling/SHOPPING can be done at home. Do the autox on Saturday, followed by a gathering in the Holiday Inn that nite. Do quiet things, if you MUST, on Sunday. That's what it's for.
Swimming, ogling, and (gawd...) shopping do NOT make it, and do not belong. If your woman can't handle these cars and people for 48 hours, TELL HER TO STAY HOME.
