Radios - the FSR types to keep in touch during the event
Good Attitude - no matter what the weather or other circumstances, you are a patr of one of the greatest events in the world
Camera - you will not want to miss capturing this time of your life on film (or disk)
Smiles - even if you don't bring this, you will leave with one
Beer - consumed responsibly, after all events are over, and preferably Miller High Life in honor of one of our sponsors
Helmet/Arm Restraints - for the Kildare event; what did you build that rocket for anyway?
Clean Underwear - see above
Money - to buy lots of raffle tickets and auction items to benefit Team Jenny
Kleenex - to wipe the tears away from being a part of such a worthwhile event
Prayers - for the unfortunate souls who have been afflicted with health less that we have
Thanks - for people like the Combs who take the time out of their lives to do something special and fun like the DVSF
You - because without you, this event is not possible or beneficial to the folks that need our support

Did I miss anything?

I think you about covered it all. But for those bringing too much stuff and need someone to haul it all just let me know. Me and my wife will be driving from Atlanta and can carry anything that won't fit in your Cobra. We'll be all alone in my exploder so we've got plenty of room. Space is at a premium in a Cobra so if you have more stuff than room just let me know. Also, if there is anyone driving from or through Atlanta that wants a chase vehicle loaded with parts or tool or anything else I would be just tickled pink to follow close behind. Even if it is just a passenger that is tired of riding in a convertible and wants to ride in a little more comfortable albeit more boring vehicle. Feel free to email me cecoen@bellsouth.net. I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.......Sorry, it's a sponge bob thing. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Lee,
You are right on. May I just add a few items?

A well dressed "Flinger" must have the appropriate gear: A DVSF II really, really cool Hat - of course we suggest the Caps that Phil Manro has designed and will be selling here as wll as "THE" T-shirt, then Phil has also stepped forward, supplying us with water bottles, (great for those long hot trips in the Cobra), mouse pads, and my favorite new item...Coffee Mugs with the DVSF II logo.

People, I strongly suggest you bring at least one FSR radio. You know we have over 500 people coming this year and most likely 300 Cobras! (Can you believe that!?) Trying to communicate, outside and with the noise of the cars is litteraly impossible just using a bull horn. For those that didn't make the first Fling, we move..a lot. Plus there is always something going on.

I just don't have a better idea to keep everyone informed at all times, of everything going on. If you have the radio, or do get one for the Fling, we will be on Channel " 4-27"

And, last but not least by any means, we need Chocolate Chip Cookies! I mean, it was these little critters that started the entire Fling scenario. I would venture to say we had over a 1,000 Cookies from all over the country last year and within a 1/2 hour they were all gone! We just have to have more cookies!

We are the biggest, baddest, loudest, group to ever hit London and Columbus and Xenia! Has the reality of 300 Cobras rumbeling into town at one time hit you yet? I swear I thought I had seen it all when we fired up 165 Cobras last year, now it's almost doubled! I swear I am shaking at the thought of it.

Somebody STOP ME! I can't, let me tell you just one little story about last years trip into town. Mrs. DV and I were about the middle of the convoy pulling into Lake Choctaw, I'd guess maybe 60 or so Cobras were in front of us, as we pulled into the Lake, at 8:45 AM, people were running out of there houses to watch the parade and some were in their PJ's for cryin' out loud! All were giving the thumbs up.

Ok, one more. The cruise right through Columbus, Sunday afternoon, full Police escort with cruisers and Harley beacons a-flashing. People in restaurants were grabbing their food and running outside to watch this "most awesome" parade they had ever seen. Clapping, whistling, thumbs up were the norm.

Oh my...one month away! Think I had better get back to work!

DV -- We really need your support and attendance!
Have you registered? Please buy your raffle tickets and.... BRING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!

Wade: That is awesome! Can we slap the DVSF II logo on that snorkel somewhere? [img]smile.gif[/img]
