MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
What is it about a Cobra? Is it the sheer power? The thunderous rumbling of the exhaust? What is it that even makes Mother Nature snap to attention at the mere mention of Cobras?
We have our annual meeting scheduled in January, during the Stock Show, when we usually some have some of our worst winter weather, and even Mother Nature relents to give us a spring-like weekend, just perfect to rouse some snakes out of hibernation! Can you feel it? Cobra season is just around the corner!
The Mile Hi Cobra Club has some great things planned for this year. We’re going to have day-long drives (at least one each month) starting as early as April, maybe even March for the more, shall we say, “adventurous types.” We also have some overnight trips starting in June. If you haven’t taken your Cobra out for an overnight trip, you’re in for a treat!
In July, we have the Big Daddy of ‘em all, the 2008 MHCC Cruise Colorado. Imagine five days in your Cobra, enjoying some of the most scenic, twisty roads Colorado is famous for. The trip between towns is the drive and when you arrive at the overnight destinations, the fun really begins. Hanging out with 50 or so of your now closest friends, reliving the day and looking forward to tomorrow. You will hate for the trip to end!
Yeah, we’ve got some great things planned this year. C’mon on out and play!
Al B.
