Mile Hi Cobra Club Plans for May

[Thompson]

Due to Snow, Cold and Wet we did not make the Fat City Car show. Did any one of you brave people make it? If so, can we have some pictures as proof? I hear they have it rain or snow or cold or wet, so they must have had it and I bet it was fun.

May is a busy month. Hope you are not spending it in Australia (like Gary P)and can join us for some of the events that folks have set up for us. Following are some brief details on these events - for more information and for maps and such - check out the calendar on the web site www.milehicobraclub.com

Friday, May 6 - Walt and Chip Hane Driving School at Second Creek Raceway. This is full, but why not come out to Second Creek and see some of the Cobras on the track and have lunch with us? Lunch will be around 12:15, but we will be taking up a collection for it at the 11:15 break. KFC. Weather is supposed to be in the 70's with some chance of rain in the PM. If you are signed up for this, be at the track by 8:00 AM. Thank you to Dale and Kim Knight for all their work on this. Also Walt and Chip Hane and Bob at 2nd Creek.

Saturday, May 7 - Lou Rivera Dyno Day
