Tom, your family is in all our thoughts.

Mark and Ralph made it. Bob may have drank too much, but it was not a problem. Ralph on the other hand was a different story. I was behind Sid on the way up and did not see any parts lying around as I came thru. I think some cars must have knocked them off the road by the time I got there and actually I did see a large truck into a deep ditch. Could have been road debris flat.

The cruise down Thursday morning was pretty smooth and decent weather. Wanted to stop at the air museum, but didn't want to temp the rain. Need a truck and trailer!

Lots of rain until Friday late afternoon (need a truck and trailer) but was able to make it to Steak and Lube. Lots of cool stuff and fixed another car. Great evening hanging out with friends and drinks. I pulled a little practical joke on Blas with some cans under his car. No harm done, just having a little fun.

Saturday ALL DAY was outstanding weather with Cobras everywhere, caravanned into London, outstanding event in a picturesque town and was well organized. Awesome job to OCC and a great bunch of guys. Missed Hocking Hills, was really bummed about that, due to a blown clutch (need a truck and trailer) and was kind of bummed about that also.

Sunday started out beautiful but by the time we hit Indy that had all changed. Driving Kelly’s Cobra because mine was in his trailer (need a truck and trailer) we hit all kinds of rain and finally made it home at 10:00 wet, cold, tired and hungry. Now here is a guy that just finished his car 3 weeks ago and would not drive to a car show until all of the puddles had dried. Now I am essentially driving it thru a car was with no top. Not only that, it was obvious I could not see very well with all that rain on the windshield. When we got home my nerves were shot and I can only imagine how his were! Also, thanks to Arcy for offering his trailer, which meant I would have driven his car home. Need a truck and trailer.

Can’t wait to see what next years adventure to London will bring. Hocking Hills, Air Force Museum, Autocross and maybe even Mid Ohio which all got missed this year. Thanks again to the great guys that put on this years event! I understand it was run by 14 guys…wow. Now that’s a huge…huge effort….looked more like it was run by professional event planners than a little more than a dozen fun loving nuts that have a passion for Cobras and helping others. Hats off to you guys at OCC!
