To: John M, Dan, Cindy, Rick, Lauren, John P, Ron/Jamo, Ken/Dan, & ALL of the attendees that came to WSCB 2006, and including Bob/Linda and my better half Ericka, who helped me and to make this possible - THANK YOU SO MUCH! . I am so appreciative that it all worked out so well for most everyone.

As a few have said to me today, I agree, "It was like Magic". It all really turned out to be even beyond my own vision and expectations. Many things fell into place, including the weather from Thursday through early Sunday morning. To be frank, my biggest fear or challenge now for next year might just be this - "Just how the hell are we gonna top that?". There was a peak-average of about 163 Cobras, and someone said around the photoshoot time combining all the cars in the big photo and on the upper deck not in the photo we actually reached 175 Cobras at peak. I counted 165 a few times, so we know for sure we were over our 150 goal by a good margin. 200 for next year is a no-brainer now, and this may be our limit for next year. I'm still thinking we may want to keep the focus on quality and friendships rather than quantity. I'd like to think about having a priority list for year-1 and year-2 attendee sign ups before January 1st, '07.


After I get some rest and quiet (no thinking required) time pulling all my giant weeds in my back yard I'll get to it again while its still fresh in our minds. AND, as long as the Nugget will have us back after our LOUD behaviors, and you all know what I'm referring to, I'll start putting my notes and script together to architect '07 to make at least as good as '06 or slightly better.

For now, I just want to rest and get my feet back on the ground, while still savoring what just happened in '06. That poster you all secretly signed for me is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Chat more later... out. DC
