Fall sprint 2011 - ct/ny/nj/ma/pa/ri
 

The season snuck up on us once again and we are already planning the big send off for the season. As in years past, this event is open to all owners of Cobras, Daytona Coupes, and GT40s ... whether you built it, bought it, borrowed it, or inherited it. The goal is simply to get owners of similar vehicles together in a casual environment to enjoy the cars on great roads you may not have driven before.

Prior years we have focused on Litchfield County with runs around the LRP area. This year in hopes of adding some more drivers from other regions AND taking in some new scenery we are shifting the drive area to the incredibly scenic Bear Mountain / Hudson River NY area. If you have not driven in this area either by Cobra or motorcycle you don't know what you are missing (so I will post some photos of the region/roads below).

The date for this is:

[center]SUNDAY OCTOBER 16TH, 2011

Holy Cow, guess we've all been hybernating (or fixing our cars) this summer. Nice to see all the friendly faces!! This looks like so much fun. You can count the "Blue Hornet" in for sure. Looks like a great run with a lot of 3 - 4 gear turns. Pray for Sunny skies everyone.:MECOOL:

Hey there Jay, I would like to join all of you on this run, I really enjoyed the last time I met up with the group. I have my city run on Oct 2nd if you can make it down.
Bobby

Hey Daves2toys, Thought you sold yours. Give a ring Stay In Touch.

Jay, Hope to be by. I haven't visited here on Club Cobra in some time. Ive been very busy this summer. I do hope to join you all on this ride. Hope all is well.

Also: Guys and Gals Keep in mind I may want to do my Gillette Castle and Mohegan Sun Run at some point. Need to find a good time frame. Lots a happening and the season is coming to an end.

If you do end up planning the run to Gillette Castle and Mohegan, let me know. I would love to join you guys on that one.

I am familiar with the NY roads by West Point along the Hudson River. Great run! Im in.

Does anyone on the west side of the hudson want to meet in Orange County somewhere, then head to Bear Mountain?

No Gary, I have not sold it as of yet, not trtying very hard either...LOL.
I , like you have been extremely busy this season, not much Cobra time unfortunately...hope to make this run though. I did do the Lake George Summerrun, it was an awesome 3 days, about 40 Cobras showed up.
For this ride I am going to meet up in Danbury with you all.
Dave

I live in Goshen (I think I met you when you first got your car. Ford dealership car show?). Anyway, I am going to meet everyone in Danbury and work my way back with everyone.

I plan on meeting you all at 10am in Danbury. Is that still on?
