Roll Call: 2012 Monterey Motorsports (Cobra) Reunion, Sat Aug 18th

[Igofastr]

I'll be there.

Duane,

Info on the "concours italiano" would be appreciated.

BTW...if true, I'll be disappointed if my GT40 is "banned" from the parade laps.

Ron,
Here is the registration for Concorso Italiano. It will be perfect for your GT40 for sure, it will fit right in especially with all the Ferraris around

Hey Maurice! You thinking about our annual T-nite run again? The Lister COOX will be coming this time too with an all new Dart motor by then. Let me know, and I'll make sure we are all there to do it again, fog or no fog.

I will be there in my GT350. I have heard through the Shelby site that there will be parade laps for all cars in the coral area. This is for CSX cars, replicas, GT350, GT500 and other Ford powered cars. Is anyone going to the Shelby 50th anniversary event in Pomona in 2 weeks? It's the day before the Knott's show.

[maurice19]

You know it, Duane

[Igofastr]

Duane,

Thanks.

I would get there EARLY ... by noon the Italiano is crowded and gets more congested with folks every hour after that.

Sounds like fun. I'm definitely thinking about attending. The deadline to sign-up is May 31st. Looks like you're committed to the whole day (in before 9:00 am, no leaving before 5:00 pm).

Any South Bay Cobra guys thinking about attending?

I let them all know we appreciate the update, which helps folks make a more informed decision about attending this year or not, and with or without their Cobras. A very positive update is what I can pass along. No worries, the coordinator has it well under control and asked us to stay tuned. Check back here or on the first post every month as we get closer to Monterey at Laguna in August.

Here is a summary of the message received today:

- Still in the planning stages, everyone is on the same page..
- Laguna is very excited. Wants to make this the "best Reunion show ever".
- There are several entries in the Cobra race already.
- They are pleased with communications and interest between clubs, groups.
- "still working out when tickets will go on sale, and how to purchase".
- "plenty of room in the Corral", "can't foresee anyone being left out".
- "any parade laps will be a Cobra only". Saturday for sure, Sunday maybe.
- Stay Tuned. More information out as it becomes available.

... you might see an update here later on from the coordinator himself.

Thought I'd check the Norcal SAAC site tonight to see if there was any update regarding corral parking.

50th Cobra Reunion

"I do not foresee any problems with space, SCRAMP is working with us to open up more parking area as needed. The Corral will be open to all Shelby American products including replicas, as well as Ford products of the performance variety (Ford will have a display near the Corral and is supporting the mission also). Original Cobras will be displayed front and center, of course, with space for other original Shelby American products, continuations and replicas.

Sales of tickets and Corral passes will be through the Nor Cal SAAC website.* Mazda Laguna Seca will be having their website direct people to out website if they want Corral passes.* We will be opening sales soon hopefully."

I check the site regularly.

[decooney]

I checked in about 10 days ago and they were still working on the website so tickets could be purchased. As I recall, they were shooting for May 1st but still working out a few more details. If we don't hear something by mid May, I will check back again if something does not come through before then. Thanks for checking periodically to see if something shows up.

[Got the Bug]

Registration is now open for corral passes and tickets!

Easy web form and payment through Paypal available.

Iam coming up on Thursday, don't know if i'll be driving the cobra. Is there a schedule for cobra get together. I'll be staying in Monterey, my brother-in- law has a place there.

[decooney]

If you are going to Laguna Seca, and can only go one day, I keep hearing the main day is Saturday. I got passes for Fri, Sat, Sun but only plan to really be there on Saturday for most of it. Got the extra days just in case I want to slip out there in the afternoons on Friday or Sunday.

[mickmate]

I can't wait to meet a bunch of left coast guys and see the line up. I'm sure we'll all be trying to get 3 weeks of events out of a week. Car overload come on!

[289fia_cobra]

Signed up for Saturday only. Leaving at the crack of dawn to avoid some of the traffic.

[4pipes]

Me too, let's meet up and drive together.
