A FUN Cobra weekend in Santa Barbara.............. that pretty much sums it up.

This year marks the Eighth Annual "BACC Santa Barbara - Not Knott’s” trip

This trip has it ALL..

Fun drive's
Scenery
Cars
Relaxing strolls on the beach
Shopping in Santa Barbara's Historic downtown Arts District
AND of course your BACC friend's .

Enjoy fine dining, unique shops and a variety of cultural venues including galleries, performing arts, historic sites . Top this off with a car
show that stretches through one of the most beautiful downtowns in America all the way to the beach.

BACC Santa Barbara (Not Knott's) is planned around the Santa Barbara Wheel's and Waves car show which is held on Sunday May 16.
Participation in the car show is optional as is when you actually drive down to Santa Barbara. We generally have folks leaving on either
Friday or Sat. morning and there are usually a few folks that due to schedules can't stay until Monday and leave on Sunday.

We try to keep things laid back and not have too much structure to the weekend. Folks are basically free to get together with others in
the group once we arrive in Santa Barbara to take in what the Santa Barbara region has to offer. That said we do have a few options
planned for the weekend.

Social Hours:

Once again we will have a no host wine/cocktail gathering at the hotel on Sat. afternoon/evening. The cost of hor'dourves and appetisers, glasses,

plates etc. has been

included

in the event registration.

If you are planing on attending the social hour, Please bring a bottle (or 2) of wine or the BACC favorite "ready to serve" Jose Cuervo Gold Margarita to

share and/or sodas for those that do not drink alcohol. ( there should be time once we arrive to hit the grocery store should you not have room in your

car.

What's "Not Knott's"
Well, back a few years ago .......a handful of NorCal Cobra guy's (you know who you are) started going down to Knott's Berry Farm for
the annual AHA (American Handcrafted Automobile) "Fun in the Sun" car show. After a few years of sitting in the parking lot baking in the
hot sun, the fun began to fade and an alternative to Knott's was sought out. The alternative became the BACC Annual “NOT Knott's”
trip down to the "Wheels & Wave's" car show in Downtown Santa Barbara.

So what is "Wheels & Wave's"?
Wheels & Wave’s Car Show is set on picturesque State St. in the heart of Santa Barbara.
400 Hot Rods and Classics ( grouped by model) from across America will be on display for one day only. There will be live music, great
food & beverages. And for alternatives activities contemporaneous with the car show there is shopping in the many galleries and shops
along State St. as well as other attractions and possibly a spa outing while the guy's look at cars.

The “Wheels and Waves” Foundation supports the following organizations with the proceeds from Wheels & Wave's Car Show:

* The Page Youth Center * The Santa Barbara Downtown Organization Christmas Parade -

* The Progeria Research Foundation * The Goleta Lions Service Club

* The Casa

Esperanza Homeless Center –
