Tony:

Sounds like a great event!

Question. Will there be Thursday night camping at the track?

Where do we sign up as instructors?

I'm 90% sure at this point I will be able to make it. Will know more in the not too distant future. I have a wedding I need to attend in FL the previous weekend. But it should not be a problem.

[cobrabitn]

Bruce,

I am pretty sure you can camp on Thursday night as you pay the track direct for camping. I'll find out and post here!

I don't know on the instructor part yet but we'll work on it...

[BTTBSS]

Tony:

Just noticed that this is a national event. Will the track portion still be open to
other makes of cars or do I need to go buy a Mustang?

BTTBSS
96 ImpalaSS

[Hazman]

It will be open for all makes. The only time we get into the members vs non-members is if the event is over capacity. Sign up early and you will be at the top of the list!!

[BTTBSS]

Rick

Thanks.

There goes the tire budget. Going over to the Corvette forum now and hit the National Solo guys up for used V710's.

[cobrabitn]

What Rick said but if you buy a Cobra then you would have seen the light!

[SvilleCobra]

Does anyone have any advice, tips, details about trailering a Cobra? I am strongly considering driving an RV pulling a trailer w/ my Cobra on it.

What type of trailer do you need? What should I look for? Etc...

Thanks in advance...hope to camp out and meet you all there!

[RF Cobra]

I heard in the event of an overflow the first to be eliminated will be anyone with a Z06...

Mike
It really depends on the towing capacity of the motorhome and your budget. A single car open trailer would be the least expensive and easy to tow. An enclosed trailer is nice but the cost is considerably higher and they hurt you on gas milage more. Regarless you need to look at the hight of the trailer and length of the ramps to make sure your car will load with out dragging. The rollback open trailers are nice but again $$$.

Looking forward to seeing you at VIR!!!

I purchased a 20' open car trailer to pull my 03 vert. I had to make sure I had a longer dove tail with longer ramps so it would not drag and it just makes it. Depending upon how low your car is will determine this. Getting a car trailer with a 2' dovetail and shorter ramps might cause some problems. As Rick said ... open trailer = better gas mileage, lighter weight, and less initial cost. Mine was about $2800.00 including better & longer ramps, a built in tool box, stake pockets, and a spare. You can get the ones without the floor down the middle to save a few dollars & a little weight.

Boycott the Z06's!! Start the movement!
