I rolled in about 7:40 PM.

Not back considering I left Gate #3 at 3:05 PM.

That's right, none of you that gave me your tickets won the give-away Vette.

Ticket holder for the first drawing had 7 minutes to show up or else ticket holder for the second drawing was going to win. I didn't stick around to see if the first ticket holder showed up.

The driving was clear sailing... Nothing but sun all the way. I made one short stop for a sandwich and shake.

I'll post some pics as soon as I can get them uploaded. There were some really "different" looking Vettes again this year. And a few neat trailers too.

Dave, thanks for checking in. We got in around 1:30, and I put a tune up order into summit racing. Guess after 30 years I need to change plugs cap rotor and wires Cry

I mean it just turned 17K on this trip should all be like new right. We were looking at the map tonight seeing how you would get back to West NY, no straight line for sure.

Thanks for all your hard work this weekend helping everyone your a Star

I had a great trip home! Not too much traffic (except in Littlestown, PA) and the Vette ran GREAT! It was great to see all the regulars and to meet the new attendees. Already can't wait to go back!

Good traffic, even in Massachusetts. Stopped in northern PA Sat night and rolled in late Sun afternoon after stopping to pick up the dog. Had a great time again.

Hi everyone-

It was a great weekend. I enjoyed meeting and hanging with you all, especiallly Friday night's gathering/dinner. I participated in the flag and the parade which were much fun, including all the attention on Main St. I left Sunday at 4; hit heavy traffic in NJ.; It took an extra hour and arrived home (Long Island) at 10PM. Looking foward to next year!!

WHAT a week-end! Good time. THANKS to all who had a part in the decision about my top. The gorilla who helped me did a fine job. I offered a bunch of banannas, but he wanted money instead. It stayed on the entire trip, and is very quiet inside. Arrived home after some good food with a fine bunch, and not banannas. EBO knocked out the power at the dinner party so we are in debt till next year. Now I know what is wrong with my carburator, and hope to get it fixed real soon. NO ONE wanted to work on it or offer parts from the show, so guess I will save some Washingtons and do it myself. See ya all soon. M-n-S
