We would like to invite everyone (not just the Chicago area owners but everyone) to attend a tailgate party at the Bryon Redman International Challenge aka the ‘BRIC’. This innovation is to all current and former Cobra owners, builders, wanna-bees, planners and just plain interested parties. Y’all are invited to stop by any time during the day. We plan to watch the races, exchange stories, meet old friends and make new ones. We would certainly expect some Wisconsin representation; we would hope for people for Indiana & Minnesota; then, who knows how far someone might travel from a free meal.
The tailgate party will take place all day on Saturday July 15th. We will start by 9:00am for those looking for breakfast; we will continue during the mid-day hours serving lunch; and will certainly be around throughout the afternoon for anyone that wants a late lunch, a snack or just a cold drink.
For those of you that may be unfamiliar with the BRIC it is simply one of the finest vintage races in the Midwest, if not the country. The races take place in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin at the Road America Race track. Road America is truly one of the finest facilities of its kind in the area.
The admission price gives you free access to the paddock area. This is a big part of the fun; you can walk among some outstanding original racing machines. They range from great old sports cars to Formula machines to Can-Am series racers and many more. The Corvettes, Shelby’s and yes even Cobras and the GT40’s will be the real deal. Have you ever seen a Lister or an Allard or maybe just an old Morgan? They will probably all be represented.
Anyone that has ever been to the BRIC says it is a day well spent and always plans to return the next year. For more information visit their web site:

Stay tuned for details as we get closer to the big day. Some of us will go up Friday night to set-up early on Saturday. We will plan a caravan from the Chicago area on Saturday morning.
We just ask for an RSVP if you plan on attending so we judge how much food & drink to secure.
