Dear All,

I am still reliving the good times from the just concluded 2023 Spring Meet.

After 15 TCC Spring Meets, some of the usual haunts have become a little old hat… but this year saw some new milestones for me:
- completed the southernmost travel so far in the Cobra (Indianola Beach, LaSalle’s Monument)
- toured Presidio la Bahia, site of Col Fannin’s defeat and the Goliad Massacre (Palm Sunday, 1836)
- visited Street Dreams Vintage Car Museum and Shop
- stopped by the Cartoon Saloon in Toonstone
- crested 30,000 miles on the Cobra during the meet
- experienced my first full rain-out day (Thursday)
- sat under the Oak Tree at the Albert Ice House; the tree is estimated to be over 500 years old
- enjoyed the Texas Monthly Cover Hamburger at Alamo Springs Cafe

What stands out in your mind?

What stands out in your mind?

logged approximately 800 miles on 3 days of cruising our beautiful state, but more importantly with great friends...

The cobra performed flawlessly, but for developing a fuel tank leak when filling up, and almost losing a sun visor due to a departed jamb screw.. I suppose too many 115mph+ sprints caused it to abandon ship ...

Meeting Peter Miles, son of Ken Miles ... he checked out and complimented my work on HM2008, signed by build book, spoke about his father at our banquet. Such an honor..

What stands out is long lasting friendships that have occurred over the 24 years of this event. Best family reunion ever.
 
Has anybody seen the group photos taken in Wimberley? Where can we find those shots/video?

I hate to promote inyourFacebook because I despise that platform ... but there is a public album there with hundreds of photos, including the Wimberley photo shoot:
