Last weekend, the Gateway Cobra Club (St. Louis, MO) cruised about 200 miles roundtrip, to Mary Janes Burgers & Brew in Perryville, Mo for their 3rd annual Brew Block Party.
It was a beautiful day (finally!!) and the cruise was attended by about 9 cars. Lots of fun, good food, and a couple Brew tastes.
A couple photos are embedded, but I had a thought / question I wanted to throw out there.
I planned and led the cruise to the destination. Trying to keep track of 9 cars to prevent running off and leaving someone is a challenge. Fortunately, our tail car was the highly visible Orange roadster, so I could check the rear-view and if I saw the Orange car, I knew I didn't leave anyone behind.
On a 2 hour cruise and winding through the backroads, this can be problematic. I've been on cruises where someone in the middle broke down and the lead car didn't realize it for MANY miles.
I was thinking one morning on my drive to work; could I use WAZE to track my club buddies? I've used WAZE a little bit, but I thought there was also a function to track your friends.
Has anyone tried this?
Any other suggestions? (we also try to run with our lights on, so we know when stray cars get between us (may be my OCD, but these jerks really annoy me. What? you don't see a parade of brightly painted and loud Shelby Cobras??? probably the same nitwits that cut into funeral processions)
