Vegas Cobras Organizing Meeting

[DougR]

Well it looks like our previous thread has been lost but here's the scoop:

Mark your calendars for Saturday February 2nd at 12:00 noon. We'll be meeting at Screwballs (Warm Springs just west of Las Vegas Blvd.)

The purpose to to get everyone (or as many as we can) and organize a little better that we have been and to start planning activities for the year ahead. Of course we'll always have those last minute, spontaneous events but some of the guys would like to have some events planed out in advanced.

We're asking for everyone's input so that we can plan this meeting so that we can accomplish as much as possible in as little time as possible (then we can play the remainder of the day). So, if you have any ideas for events, goals, structure of the club, etc. please make your comments here.

And if you don't have any ideas, just post a note to let us know if your planning to attend.

Thanks, and see you on the 2nd.

We'll see you there, Doug.

Doug,
I just got back today. While it's interesting to see other parts of the world..... it is always great to come home.

Glad you got this going!! I'll come up with some agenda items and keep it short.

In the meantime, I've been up for the last 37 hours trying to get back from the Brazian interior. I'm going to sleep!!!.

[DougR]

It's great to have you back Scott. Just to let you know, I may not be able to make it on the 2nd. I'm doing some volunteer work out at the speedway during NASCAR weekend and I'll be at the track that Saturday for instruction and orientation. There is a meeting that starts at 11:30 and I'm not sure when it gets out. I'll try to be there if I can.

[Thieleng]

Good to meet some of you down at the Team Shelby get together this weekend, I am sorry that I did not get more time to spend with your group, family, car show etc. I hope to be able to participate with your group in the future.

[DougR]

Scott, One of the things we should bring up is our forum. It seems that it keeps going down and when it comes back up several threads are missing. I had to start a new one when it came back up today. I'll email you with an idea.

[DougR]

I received the email explaining the problems and the fixes for the forum. Hopefully this will remedy our problems and we won't have to make any changes.

[Scott Hatcher]

Thieleng,
Sorry I missed you at Shelby's last week. I was out of town. Will you be back in LAs Vegas for our meeting and run on Feb. 2nd?

Scott

[DougR]

Agenda item for Feb 2nd meeting: Monthly meeting dates... On the first Saturday of each month I have a prior commitment for breakfast. But any other time will work for me.

[DougR]

Time for a bump. It's this Saturday!

[Scott Hatcher]

I know Doug e-mailed all of the cuurent club members, but I thought we should mention that this meeting and run is open to Cobra Owners that have not yet joined and those that are currently building their cobra but not finished yet (drive the other car to the meeting and lunch).

Someone should also call Irwin (I know he doesn't use a computer).

Doug, thanks for e-mailing everyone.

See you all on Saturday!!

Scott

[DougR]

Scott, I talked with Irwin about a week ago and he's aware of the meeting and the run. I'll get a hold of him today to remind him. He has a phone list of a lot of guys that may not be on the email list and I'm sure he'll make calls to them. see ya Saturday!

[Randy M.]

I will try to be there. Will there be a run also? Randy

[DougR]

Yes Randy, there is a run to "The Hump" after the meeting. Its about half way to Pahrump.

Here's what I put in the email that went out to all on the list:

The first all club meeting of the year is about to happen. This Saturday, February, 2nd, 12:00 noon at Screwballs. Screwballs id located at 2460 W. Warm Springs Rd. about a block west of Las Vegas Boulevard. If you know where Las Vegas Outlet Mall is, your almost there.

Here’s what you can expect:


1. We’ll gather at 12:00 noon and spend some time getting to know one another, catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

2. After everyone has settled in, we’ll order up and get down to eating.

3. After lunch we start up official business. We’ll talk about you want to see from the club and what you can contribute to make it better.

4. When business is done, a run to the “Hump” is on tap. The Hump is a bar and grill about half way to Pahrump. A popular place for bikers, it’s a nice run for a drink and snacks. Last time we were there we drew a lot of looks, questions and great conversation for all who were there. The bikers just love our cars and if your into bikes, you’ll see some great ones there.


That’s the plan. Please make every effort to make this event. If you know of someone who may not be on our email list, give them a call and invite them. The largest turn-out we’ve had was about 2 years ago when we had about 18-20 guys. We hope to top that this Saturday! So be there!

Doug, Scott,

I'm just recovering from back surgery but I'll be there. I'll try to get there a little early to shoot some video of the "arrivals". I'm not driving the Cobra just yet so my "Co-Pilot" Mike is doing the honors for me . . . We will both be there for sure.

I heard from Erwin the other night and he says there an extensive list of people that he needed to call. I know he will be relentless on this . . . he is a good organizer even without a computer . . . and my offer to give him one stil stands.

Pete

Scott, I emailed you some time ago regarding my trip to Vegas to see if we could catch up, I too was at the Team Shelby event at the speedway and saw some of your Cobras parked along the back, very nice cars may I add. ST, was that your Kirkham at the event? I noticed the darker wheels on your car look the same as the one at the event on the Saturday, had a blast and will be doing it again in the near future I hope. Once again, sorry I didn't get to meet any of you.

Team 61 at the bash Las Vegas bound!


Stef (with cap on)

Scott Hatcher,
I planned on coming down but I have had issues with my Roush motor blowing out a little too much smoke on acceleration and now decelleration, when I returned from Vegas I had a small amount of oil sitting on top of the intake manifold and also had the breathers puffing smoke at idle. In conference with Roush and Reno Engine and Drivetrain (R.E.D) it was decided that the previous fix did not work. The engine is in the process of being removed and shipped back to Roush to fix the issue. By the way both Roush and R.E.D have been great to deal with and I have no complaints at all. With it snowing here every day and the weather barely creeping above the freezing mark I felt that this is the best time to take care of it. I would have liked to have been there but I am sure you understand the reasons. I will be attending your activities in the future if I can get through the Tonopah low.

[Scott Hatcher]

Stef,
Sorry we missed you here. Maybe next time.

Thieleng,
Sorry to here about your engine issues. Hope they're fixed by the time your snow melts.

Scott

Las Vegas,

Too bad some of you missd the meeting/run. We had 13 cobras, 2 members without their cobras and 3 new people looking to get some info on their purchases.

The run to "The Hump" was good, a little cold but better than back east or up north!!

Next meeting/run will be Saturday March 15th. Put it on your calendar. Details to follow.

Scott
