Wow...........
I counted AT LEAST 22 Cobras today, at least 3 GT 500's, a handful of hot Mustangs and a few trucks! Wow!!!!!!!
We also started collecting money from those in attendance to help fund the Dallas hosted Friday night feed at Sam Marcus.
We had people begging to handle this job this year but Thanks go to Stacey for jumping up in front of the mob! Chris, you are indeed a lucky man!
For those of you that are not aware, the $$ you donate to the Dallas pot gets you THREE meals..Austin on Thursday, Dallas on Friday and Houston on Saturday night. Figure up what you would spend to go out to eat to feed whoever you normally feed and use that as a guide.
We NEED everyone that attends to kick in to make this work because before this wonderful idea came out of Austin two years ago, guess what? Everyone split up ahd WENT OUT TO EAT on their own $$$$$!
Two of our members last year took significant hits in the pocket last year to make up the shortage but I won't name them here...but I guarantee if you come to anything you know them both!!
Kick in some cash & we will pass the hat again in March but let's all do out part to make this work.
To those of you that actually remembered to bring your cameras, post some pictures!!
Thanks Dallas and Thanks Colleen..........
The 2 John Russell's

Huge turn out! I don't recall this many Cobras at a local meet since I have been hanging here

Pic of about half the Cobras attending:

The lovely, long awaited, much anticipated Katrina!

Congratulations at last, John!

I'm still grinning. Holy guacamole, what a turn out !!

I echo the two John Russells and SSSammy; certainly the biggest monthly gathering since I've been hanging around these parts. It was great to see the folks that we had not seen in a while and the special effort by the Tarrant and Denton County guys. How was the hotel?

Thanks go out to Colleen & Alan for bringing on extra hands to accommodate us as DFW Texas Cobra Club filled up Jimmy John's, Richardson.

I celebrated my first cruise with other cobra's, just a short drive and sharing the road with LuvDaBlues, Jim Jacobs, and 351W.

The bad part as some of you are aware... I left video and still cameras at home

Thanks for the photos, keep em coming, if you have em.

John,
You are excused for leaving the camera this time. Just mount it to the roll bar for next time.

Thank you so much for choosing our shop for lunch. My staff had a blast. They're still talking about it. (although a tad confused why everyone was driving the exact same car - still schooling them).

Y'all were so much fun even the random folks who trickled in amongst you seemed to be having a great time as well.

Hopefully as things build, I'll be able to break away for monthly meetings again. :-)

Colleen,
It's a great looking store and a wonderful sandwich!
Wishing you all the success in the world!
