Well, that was quick! Here's some more specifics from ClubCobra's web site:

Reptile Roundup will be held in conjunction with the annual Lake Mirror Classic car show. Registration is open, go to: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format ... 20-%20Home for Saturday’s registration. The Show fee is listed as $75, but will be discounted at check-out to $55.00 until September 1st. The fee includes lunch for two and a professional display sign for your Cobra. Before registration give some thought as to what you want printed on your sign, it’s yours to keep and can be used to display at future car shows.

Nancy & I will be going to Lake Mirror Classic, but not entering the show. I prefer to go on the cruises with my fellow snake charmers. We will be attending all of the greet & meets along with the dinners lunches etc. Looking forward to the Bok Tower cruise. Will be trailering the Cobra behind our recently purchased motorhome, and staying at a local RV park for the 15th 16th & 17th,

Who else is planning on going?

Carl,

Looks like you figured it out!

All,

Just got this from Mike Cheek:
Tom,

Thanks for posting on First Coast website. Dan jumped the gun a little bit with his newsletter stating that attendees should contact me. This is not correct.

Three things attendees must do...

1. Register directly with hotel (group name...Deep South Cobra Club)

2. Register car directly with Lake Mirror Classic (lakemirrorclassic.com )

3. Register for all other RR Events on Deep South Cobra Club website (dscc.us)
membership fee will apply if not a current member.

Please post to First Coast and any other sites that you want.

Mike

Here's the "final" word on signing up for the RR:
Reptile Roundup Registration will close tomorrow October 9 at noon. As of today we have forty-three members registered for RR.

This may be a bad time to mention the weather, but I checked the weekend weather for Lakeland and it shows clear sunny skies with no chance of snow. So, clean up your Cobra and sign up for the Oct 15-18 RR. See last months Newsletter for details. If you have any problems signing up tonight or in the morning, give me a call at 239-898-8377.

For those 43 that have signed up, you will be sent the final email schedule of events on Saturday. For those registered for the Lake Mirror Classic car show, you should have received your packet in the mail today.

Carl,

What timing do you plan for going to Lakeland Thursday? Maybe we could convoy?

It was mostly warm after a brief morning chill. No rain. A few breakdowns but nothing major. Lots of cars; somewhere between 35 and 40 I think. Great people and good times. My Cobra clocked well over 600 miles for the weekend. No regrets...
