Thanks to China-Corona-Wuhan-COVID our annual Spring Meet based in San Marcos, Texas was postponed  .... but now the party is ON !

October 7-11, 2020  www.texascobrameet.com

Hurricane Motorsports will be there with their trailer and the latest Coyote-powered demo car!    The usual Hurricane owners will be present: Yours Truly, Ken Walker, Russ Rittimann, Richard Parker, Nathan Parker, and more.      I'll be driving mine from Dallas/Ft.Worth down Hwy 281 arriving Wednesday afternoon.   Here is the latest update from the TCC Austin group :

The Texas Cobra Club Fall starts in 2 weeks (that's 14 days, approx. 336 hours, 20160 minutes, or 1,209,600 seconds…but whose counting!).
Here are the numbers as of 8pm 9/22/2020:

177 Drivers and Guests
99 Cars registered (so far)
118 Banquet Tickets sold
10 Different states represented

Here are a few updates and new-worthy items:
· The Embassy Suite will offer a hot breakfast served cafeteria-style (not buffet) each morning.
· The hotel’s restaurant and coffee shop WILL NOT BE OPEN
· The hotel will hold its Manager’s Happy Hour from 5:30-7:30pm each night.
· The hotel's bar will be open daily until 10pm.
· Social Distancing and masks should be worn while in the building.
· Out of an abundance of safety and caution, Dave Fried, our guest speaker, has postponed his presentation until our 2021 Spring Meet.
· We will have a very special guest speaker on Saturday….more details to come!
· As of now, we will NOT be holding the Hamburger cookout on Friday night because of COVID rules on food services.
· I will have a list of local restaurants near the hotel available at our Registration Desk.
· If you have anything for the Silent Auction please let us know as soon as you arrive so that we prepare the bid sheet accordingly.

That’s all for right now….I think!

General Questions / 2017 Texas Cobra Meet - pictures
« on: May 24, 2017, 10:54:27 PM »
Our annual statewide Spring Meet was March 29 to April 2nd, once again in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.  This year we had the pleasure of having guests from Missouri: Mark and Johnna McKinnis, and Mark's parents Mike and Kem McKinnis.    Mark and Mike recently completed HM2006 and boy is it beautiful.   We also met Sam Reynolds (HM1076) who recently moving to San Antonio although I didn't get to see his Hurricane on Saturday.    Dave Firebaugh brought his beautiful red Hurricane cobra with ghost flames and 8-stack EFI all the way from Ohio, with George Dalton from the Ohio Cobra Club trailer once again.

I didn't get pictures of Gregg Herdlitchka (HM1037), Richard Parker (HM1005), Nathan Parker (HM100?), Kurt "BigDaddyFrog Cajun Hibachi" Curole (HM1111), did I miss any other Hurricane cars in attendance?


The Hurricane Motorsports trailer was brought down by Hurricane builder-extraordinaire Jason Kruse. Great to see Jason again!

Dave's beautiful small block EFI :

Mike and Kem McKinnis (HM2006):




This year since Russ Rittimann's HM2005 is in the paint booth, I got to bring down my build-in-progress HM2008 to display with the Hurricane trailer.  It got a lot of attention and scrutiny.  Thankfully, mostly positive comments ;)







"BigDaddyFrog" Kurt Curole (HM1111) serving up some amazing fried alligator off his "Cajun Hibachi"!




Sorry this isn't a Hurricane.  Its just a multi-million dollar original Shelby competition 427 Cobra - George Thompson's CSX3020!

Time to hit the road!  With John Shelton (HM1038):

Ken Walker (HM1015):




Lunch stop at the world-famous Salt Like BBQ in Driftwood, Texas- mmmmmm!




Dang it!  While we were eating delicous BBQ the rains came.  Time to bug out!




Watching the radar, we decided instead of going east where the rain was going we would go west for more adventure.  The sun came back out on the road to Luckenbach. Yay!




Enjoying some liquid refreshment and fantastic music on the back stage of Luckenbach:




Heading south from Luckenbach we stopped at a friend's bar in the small town of Sisterdale:




I built and donated a one-of-a-kind custom set of "Texas Cobra Club" Cornhole board game for the silent auction during the banquet, all proceeds going to Ohio Cobra Club's cystic fibrosis charity fund.   I believe the winner took them out of state. Hope they are being enjoyed!




The Usual Suspects lineup:  Mark McKinnis (HM2006), Mike McKinnis (HM2006), Russ Rittimann (HM2005), John Shelton (HM1038), Bob Worley (HM2008)




Well that's it.   I took less pictures this year and just enjoyed living in the moment for a change.  I apologize, I know I missed a lot of names and faces.  I need to take more pictures of people than cobras.   

If anyone has pictures of the event to share add them to this thread please!

General Questions / 2016 Texas Cobra Meet
« on: March 24, 2016, 09:45:37 PM »
Its almost that time again!    The annual Texas Cobra Meet based in San Marcos, Texas is next week/weekend.  As of 03.20.16 we have 125 cars registered with a total of 213 drivers and guests.

Every year since as least 2012 our favorite replica builder company from Iowa, Hurricane Motorsports has made the trek down to Texas with their demo car and trailer and helped support this event.   This year will be no exception.

Once again we'll have a Hurricane Family Reunion around the HMS trailer each night, I'm sure.   Hurricane owners bringing their cobras are:  Ken Walker, John Shelton, Gregg Herdlitchka, Richard Parker, Nathan Parker, Mike Robbins, Steve Sinnard (HMS President). Owners coming with builds in progress are: Russ Rittimann, Bob Worley, George Daulton (Ohio Cobra Club).  If I missed anyone please forgive me.   

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!  I'll try to post updates and pics here as I can.
