All, FYI here's the e-mail I received from Dennis today:

Deep South Cobra Club

Reptile Roundup - October 22-25, 2020, Palm Coast, FL

This year's Reptile Roundup is scheduled for Thursday, October 22nd through Sunday, October 25th. The base location will be Palm Coast, FL. Just a short drive from historic St. Augustine.

The current schedule includes a private guided tour of The Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL. This is a new facility built to house the collection of the former Brumos Porsche racing team. The collection and museum is top notch with some historic vehicles. There will be an entrance fee for this stop, as the details are worked out, we will pass them on to you.

Of course we will spend some time in historic St. Augustine, founded in 1565. There are some great roads and wonderful restaurants in this area, look forward to seeing everyone.

Due to the pandemic this year, detailed plans have been a little slow to develop. We are having to make some changes to our typical schedule to allow us to comply with local requirements. These requirements are somewhat fluid, so please be patient, we are committed to putting on a safe event, we will keep you posted on changes as they come up.

To help us plan the event please register on our website : 2020 Reptile Roundup and make sure to put in your hotel reservations at the link below.

Here is the reservation link for hotel : Fairfield Inn and Suites, Palm Coast

As details develop, I'll post more here!

Greetings from Maine!
Patty & I are hoping to be back in FL mid-October, so we should be able to participate in this event. Miss driving the Cobra! Saturday the 24th is Cars & Coffee at the CCM of St. Augustine, so maybe the DSCC would want to participate in that morning event as part of the weekend. Do we have to be members of the DSCC to take part? Will be interested in seeing what else the plan includes, as we've not been before.
Looking forward to updates! Bob & Patty Slawson

If I read the sign up link correctly(be sure to double check) there was a $20 guest fee. As I recall this is about what the yearly dues are....so you might just want to join and get it over with...lol

Sounds like a good time. Might go as guess , let my membership expire a while back. We used to tow the Cobra behind our Motorhome but have a Fifth wheel Camper now and can't double tow in most states. Plus sold the car trailer so O] . But this Roundup we can drive down with the Cobra to Palm Coast with it being soo close.
Will make decision when it gets closer.

Tom, any updates on this? Phil says the Brumos museum is still not open for tours.

[Tom Wells]

Mike,

Phil is correct as far as the public is concerned. Dennis has got this arrangement made:

One of the activities we have planned for Friday, October 23rd is a tour of the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville. This is a very new automobile museum with an extensive collection of iconic race cars and other vehicles. The museum is opening for a private tour for our club. The tour will be guided by the collections executive director.

In order to promote social distancing we will be splitting the tour into two groups and masks will be required during the entire tour.

You will need to purchase tickets at this link prior to the show. Tickets are $35+taxes and fees.

If you have trouble with the website please let us know, and I can try to get it resolved. The museum will not be able to process walk up ticket purchases at the time of the show.

If you register for the Reptile Roundup, you should get an email with the link for tickets.

I'm still not comfortable with the indoor aspect of the visit, so probably won't go.

Having said that, our visit a few years ago with the DSCC was well worth it!

So you "pays yer money and takes yer cherce!"

Tom Are you going to do the drive.. I was thinking of driving down and do the cruise back up but not do the museum.
Assuming it doesn’t rain. Long range forecast is not doing well yet
