I just got off the phone with the event planner at Mid America Motorworks. She would like us to come up with some ideas of what we'd like to see and do there. Adam Wartell2010-04-22 14:10:33

A road cruise to a destination of about an hour seems to fit about perfect in the past at some of the Midwest Cruise In functions. This can be to and from the location.

It kind of depends on how large the group is going to be and the other portions of the days agenda. If the group is going to be pretty large like the Funfest road cruise she will be better off having a cruise by itself unless the destinations are close.

For a couple of seminar ideas of interest to me:
Performance Choice - Seat restoration from frame to finish.
Fantastic Finish - Products and application that preserve, protect, & produce show stopping body brilliance.

How about a how to on our most requested posts?

At the 2009 Funfest there was a presentation on general C3 maintenance; the most interesting portion was a discussion on motor oil and the removal of Zinc... There has been a lot of speculation on this subject so this could be an interesting topic.

I like the Idea of breaks that has always been problem area the proportioning valve whether to go o ring or to keep original design with the prober seals installed rotor run out issues causing periodic bleeding

Cabin heat.  Many of us have spoken about heat coming from the floor, the firewall, even heat blowing when no fans are on.  I recently bypassed my heater core, but it would have been nice if MAM or someone sold a part that made this simple.  I know there are also solutions in the way of floor insulation and such.

I grew up about 80 miles from MAM.  I'll try to think of some interesting POIs nearby.  Offhand, I can think of at least one Abraham Lincoln site, although I would agree with Tux - depending on the size of the group, a cruise with no destination might be best.  Not sure if ya'll know this or not, but central Illinois is kinda flat with lots of right angle country roads...

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

 Some advice on how to deal with a new re-built higher H/P engine and the additive in the gas, for the GREEN people and emissions.  Most of the other questions have been addressed so I will see how they play out.  We plan to be there to take advantage of all information sessions.   M-n-S

A seminar on prepping for paint, choosing the right paint and application methods and tips.  I would be more then happy to let them use my car as a demo for a full paint job.

Let me clarify a little further... for seminars, I'm looking for specifics of what topics people would like to see covered. I was told they could do a seminar on almost anything people are interested in.  So therefore there is no need to list choices.

Anything C-3 related is fine with me, cause I own a C-3!!  If Dave was going to be there we could all pick his brain about corvette related things.  I liked the road trip we did last year.  I am sure that Perierre could suggest some things.  I am "game" for most activities.  Maybe a Corvette Trivia contest.

So....  this thread has been dormant for about 5 months and there is alittle over 2 months before the gathering.  I'd think by now things should be fairly well laid out.

What is the full agenda looking like at this point...???

As far as road tours try and find roads that have a fair amount of round-a-bouts.
This seems to help disperse the cars in all directions and makes rounding them back up half the fun.
Just my 2 cents!

Some people said they got stuff from MAM in the mail after they signed up, did everyone get stuff in the mail? I did not. My old computer crashed and my sign up info was lost. Should I call them?

I got my "tickets/receipt" in the USPS mail. It's just the same receipt you would get if you ordered parts from MAM. Dave, you might want to give them a call, or e-mail, to confirm.

Isn't the shirt included in the MAM registration package? I did not see it shown and did not see on the registration form asking information on shirt sizes. I assumed that the price included the event shirt and this would be picked up upon entry at the day of the event as in years past at other MAM events.

Personally it makes me no difference ( I have 90 + Corvette shirts). I am just trying to clarify your statement so folks (including me) would know that they may already have purchased an MAM event shirt.
