    Wink 2013 Homecoming

    Even IF this is that last "officially sponsored" UNIQUE Homecoming, there is no reason a bunch of us cannot gather in Gadsden the same weekend for years to come. The cars are what brought us together originally, and they are still a common thread, but it's more about the friendship and fellowship when all is said and done!

    Roaming...

    Dennis, another notion would be to have a "roaming" event each year. Maurice & I bounced the idea around some the other day on the phone. An example would be say:

    Year 1: meet at Guntersville State Park
    Year 2: Cheaha State Park
    Year 3: Joe Wheeler State Park
    Year 4: back to Guntersville
    etc.

    Something that would keep north Alabama as the general area, but allow for different cruises, dining, shopping, etc. The state parks would have convenient hotel & camping. Or, the Robert Trent Jones / RSA locations could be an alternative.

    2013 Homecoming

    Hey.....I like the roaming idea. Alabama does have some very nice state parks. We need to add Lynchburg, TN and the Jack Daniel's Distillery. Jeff Ray at Barber Motorsport Park also said some track time could be arranged if we ever wanted to go back there. There is a Hampton Inn a mile from the park.

    Thanks ZACK.....Great Idea!

    I'm working on Sharon now to convince her that riding with me to Homecoming would be a really groovy thing to do. She does make a case that the car is really not "that comfortable" and that last year I drove to and from the event in what could best be described as apocalyptic "end of days" rain. I'm slowly chipping away at her exceptions and would expect both of us to attend.

    Thumbs up Homecoming

    I think we will make it this year. Is that juke joint still across the street from the shop? I feel like pole dancing again !

    Way, wa-a-ay overdue. For a moment I considered flying back for this one, but my wife is retiring in May and she has made other travel plans, which precludes my attendance

    I'm sure this time it will be one to remember. I'm disappointed, but you know how it goes.

    Smile Fund Raiser

    You guys made me feel guilty because I probably forgot to contribute a year or two in the past, so I contributed again this morning. We have to keep the forum alive and well!

    Somehow my fingers hit the wrong key(s).....this post was suppose to go in the Fundraiser request. Oh well, at least I'm willing to admit my mistakes!

    Rick are you bringing the twins?

    I'm planning on attending this for the first time. Just myself, as Dona doesn't do Cobra!

    Great Garry, did you retire?

  19. #19
    I won't be retiring for another 18 months (age 65 mandatory for airline pilots). I really wanted to make this Homecoming. In fact, I cancelled a trip to join the Utah Cobra Club for their annual cruise. I cruised with them last year in my Daytona Coupe. I'm really looking forward to this event.
