I might head out that way. Always nice to see all the pretties that show up. Plus my parents only live a little ways outside of London.
Great shots Nick. Thanks for sharing with us. Any actual real Cobras there or just relicobras? I can't believe someone showed up with a Slowstice/cobra??? :eek6:
I do believe its mostly replicas because one of the big replica builders is, or at least used to be, right up the road in Lake Choctaw, or however its spelled. Did the have the one with the Viper motor in it this year?
You are correct. That is how the whole thing got started. Back in the BBS online days. Folks starting braggin over who made the best chocolate chip cookies if I recall correctly. That led to the invite to come visit London OH and share cookies. It grew from there. Eventually London got smart and asked the cobra owners to officially partner with their strawberry festival. It is now the largest single cobra show in the nation. One year there was a guest that came over from Australia for the show. The cobra community raises a lot of money for Cystic Fibrosis every year (Factory 5 owner has a child with CF). The central Ohio club builds and donates a raffle car with all the money going to CF. So for $20 and a little bit of luck you can win a complete cobra ready to drive. The last 2 years the winners had purchased a single raffle ticket at a car show and totally forgot about the drawing and were shocked to get the call months later. Pretty cool.
I normally buy one ticket. Its for a great cause, and I could get a cool car out of it that I can drive for a couple of months then sell, lol.
