You're invited to our Texas World Speedway driving event in College Station, TX

[97CasperCobra]

The SCMC would like to invite you to our Texas World Speedway driving school in College Station, Texas on August 23-24, 2003. There's nothing like driving that SVT vehicle on the open track at speeds that are illegal on the highway but legal on the speedway.

Learn more about your SVT and how it handles. For more information on this event go to www.svtmustangcobraclub.com or check out the main SCMC website at www.svtcobraclub.com .

This event is open to any type vehicle (Chevy's included) but will be SVT Cobra dominated. We will have at least five 2000 Cobra R's attending and a host of other Cobras at the event.

You can e-mail me at sharktooth_13@yahoo.com for an event packet or get a registration form off the website listed above. You will need both, a registration form filled out and an events packet downloaded.

If you plan to attend, then you will need a helmet and a positive attitude to learn more about your car. Hope to see some of you out there and I hope I posted this event in the right place?


Cheers!

Casper,
I get the feeling you joined us just to promote your event. There is a "small" difference between your "Cobra" and the cars represented on this forum. While they all carry basically the same name, ours are centered around the mid 60's cars that were created by Carroll Shelby to take the world championship from Ferrari, while your SVT Cobra is a completely different animal all together.
I did notice your invitation was extended to all cars, even Chevy powered, so you may want to "join" the Corvette club, Viper club, Porsche club etc,etc and invite them to your event also.
I wish you success in promoting your event.

ps..and YES, my car does go on the track, having just completed the Panoz open track day Friday, July 25, 2003 at TMS. This is within driving distance for me, but yours is not.

jrussell, I'm just trying to promote this event and get as much as a variety of cars out on the track as well. It'd be an awesome site if there were all Cobras on the track, but I'd much rather see how other makes and models handle their own.

Sorry if I did wrong by just joining ya'll and spreading the word, but I did just find this site. I LOVE drooling over the A/C Cobras whenever I see them. There are usually a few out at the Sat night shows down here in Houston. They are beautiful machines and I envy them every chance I get. As you can see in the pic below, one was HOT on my tail at an event last year at Road Atlanta which I'm sure he would have passed me had we been in the passing group. Make it out if you can, should be an awesome time, Dallas is only 2 hours away.

Michael,
You did nothing wrong at all, but we have seen plenty of people in the past that just joined us for nothing more than shameless self promotion. This club costs nothing to join, but we ask that the joining member have a passion for the car that brought us all together- the 427 S/C Cobra. Ownership IS NOT required, and we basically don't care what anyone drives. A 1997SVT Cobra Mustang really puts you in some pretty good company in this club, and you should make plans to join us in Austin this coming February for our annual event. The gathering has grown in the number of cars in attendance each year, and we hope realistically to get in the neighborhood of 85-90 cars in in our group photo.
I appreciate your offer, but as I have said previously, I drive my car- no trailer- and this is realistically outside my range IF there is a spirited "track" event at one end. I also am heavily involved with my two children in High School, and this precludes many extra curricular for me, and yours is one of them.
As I said before, I wish you well in your event, and I certainly welcome you to our club and I hope you stay with us. I just want you to understand who we are, and why we are.

John, no harm done. I remember the first day I saw a 427 Cobra, it was in Sausalito, CA when my father got remarried back in 98. The owner started it up and MAN, what a rush. I've since managed to photograph as many as I can so I can drool over them whenever I want and have seen some pretty strange combos with these cars(Chevy engine and rims on a few ). I hope some of you can make it, I'd love to see these A/C Cobras on the track.

I just may take you up on your offer for the Austin cruise in Feb. This past April our Cobra club had about 13 Cobras for our cruise from Houston to Austin one weekend. We plan to do another in the fall and would LOVE to join you guys for yours if you promise not to beat or EAT us up.
