Reptile Roundup II

November 14th-16th, 2003
Central Florida and surrounding area.
Hotel info at bottom of thread.
[b]Florida's largest Cobra Gathering.

Friday November 14th:
Track day / Drivers training at Gainesville raceway.
Come see what all the hype is about. Here is your chance to visit the notorious track that has claimed so many Cobra transmissions, engines, brakes and given drivers fits! Not to worry, we are taking it east this time.
This track date will be for drivers training and instruction only.
Safety requirements are here: http://www.jerryscobras.net/Safety_L...fety_list.html
I would really like to see some new faces at the track. We are limiting this event to 40 drivers so fet your deposits in soon. If don’t normally “race” your car, this is an excellent opportunity to drive and learn how your car reacts at semi-accelerated speeds. We’ve got a long weekend of activities so we will drive appropriately. It will be a little faster than an auto-X but slower than we normally run at this track. I want to give our non-racing crowd a chance to experience the track at Gainesville we brag so much about.
We will be conducting Tech inspection and drivers meeting at the track Friday morning at 8:00. Gates open at 7:00.

Saturday November 15th:
Huge car show at Big Daddy Don Garlits museum. I-75, exit 341
Cobra convoy from Hotel to the museum in Ocala.
Meet and greet the legend, Big Daddy.
Discounted admission to the museum is $10.00, $8.00 for seniors
Car show, vendor demonstrations, Driving tips seminar, Suspension seminar, wax and polishing seminar give throuout the day. Cobra vendors present will be Hunter Cobra’s, Factory Five and Backdraft racing, Shamrock Cobra, Whitby Motorcars and hopefully Everett Morrison. I’m working on getting Everett Morrison to display their new Gen IV Cobra at this event.
Items from replica manufacturers, parts manufacturers and vendors will be raffled.
T-shirts and other items will be for sale.
Car show trophies awarded, voting during the day.
Donations benefiting the DSCC and Team Jenny (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation).
Please e-mail me if you would like to have a mobile dyno again this year.
I need at least 20 cars and deposits. $50.00 for two pulls. $25.00 deposit.

Poker run thru the Ocala National Forest to take place in the afternoon. Admission is $5.00 per poker hand.
After the poker run we will stop at a local restaurant for dinner.
After hours party at a hotel pool in Ocala. Drinks, Beer, jokes and general camaraderie.

Sunday November 16th:
After a long night of fun we will say our goodbyes after breakfast.
If for some reason mother nature decides to disturb our activities they will be conducted on Sunday morning.
I know many of you have to travel to get home and I am leaving Sunday for traveling.
Have a safe trip home and we look forward to seeing you at the next DSCC event.

I would prefer you send a check to the DSCC for advanced purchase of T-shirts and museum admission.
This helps our generous T-shirt makers purchase the supplies they need.
Mike and Melissa did an awesome job last year on our shirts and agreed to sign in for another Reptile Roundup.
Advance purchases would greatly help them out. T-shirts are $15.00 each. Please note size when ordering.

The hotel I have chosen is the Hampton Inn in Ocala.
3434 SW College Road
Ocala Fl 34474
Half way between both locations.
This eliminates us from changing hotels during the weekend.
