Hello?  I'm waiting to viacariously live through all of you folks that could make it down there this weekend.  What's going on?  How was the plant tour?  Did any of you drive a car home from the factory?

Well being the co-editor of SharkBytes does have it's perks????

SRJ just called and gave me a BG update.

All had a great time on the tours yesterday, weather has been good just a bit of rain. Last night a group of 25 went out to dinner. If you have never drove in a large group of corvettes especially C3's and watched heads turn it's a way cool feeling. So I'm sure when the resturant lot was full of C3's it was neat.

Another wonderful time...sure good to see everyone again, and meet some new folks and faces as well.  Sorry I had to leave so early, but porch-sitting and catching up with relatives in Central City kinda had to happen, you know??  Sure turned a few heads on the back roads of Kentucky...it's kinda fun waving to folks you don't even know...it's a way of life in these parts...gotta love it!!  Tops off all weekend...time to scrape the bugs off and get ready for Funfest!!

    I got home about 2am this morning. Boy did I have a great time with the gang. I hit one rain storm just as I left about 40 miles north of the museum that had cars and trucks in ditches and slowed the rest of us down to 25mph for about 3 miles but after that it was clear sailing. I sure wish I could have stayed another day but things to do at home and it sure is nice sleeping in my own bed. The museum sure has changed with the new addition and it was great seeing all the folks that did make it in.

Great stories always come out when you talk about Vettes.

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.

We did catch up to Jim and Pat and had a quick visit.  He said overall turnout was not as high as the museum had hoped for but that a great time was had by all (well, maybe not Adam or Dave Wright) and that the expanded museum was certainly a sight to see.

Well SRJ called last night, after getting some rest. Pretty much said the same thing Marshal.  He had talked to quite a few that had made it home already. He said Dave Wright checked in from his daughter house that was about 100 miles from his home. Car was not giving him to many fits. Micki ran in to a bit of a kinker, a Texas State Trooper got a good look at her.......pulled her over and made her take her bra off  something about blocking the view

I know that TUX will add a lot of techno color, but one item that I wanted to mention happened during the Friday Cookout.  The Mayor of Cave City stopped by to say thanks for supporting the Cave City economy.  I bet C3VR is the only group that got such top political recognition. Great Pumpkin got a good picture.  It was a great time........

I'm jealous. Reading threads like this makes me want to readjust my life so I can have fun.

I think he stopped cause we looked like a rowdy bunch.

Plus he and his missus smelled the BBQ.

I had a great time this week. Hunter was successful with school instead of fun and I really appreciate everyone asking about him and sending their hello's and "missed seeing you" comments. He was very glad to hear this and looks forward to the west coast trip next year if the timing is right. 

that's unveiling ... not inveining.

Hi everybody! We had a great time. Arrived home about 12:30 am. Tom and Marilyn took a small caravan to the Hubner winery in southern Indiana. What a wonderful place and the scenery is amazing. We just didn't want to leave. Only hit a small amount of rain near home.

Sounds priceless folks. Thanks for the pics Brian. And Dave W., we love to hear about those issues out on the road in detail. It helps prepare us for what to expect and how to resolve it. The last time I drove across the U.S. (4 times in 1970) was in a 65 Mustang with points style ign. and a Holly carb(easily diagnosed) never had a problem I couldn't deal with. please let us know if you find out more about what happened. aceinthehole2009-09-08 09:15:17

Good afternoon and greetings from Daytona Beach, FL.  My wife and I were able to meet several of the members of this forum at the cook out on Friday night thanks to Brian for getting us involved with the group at the museum.  I have known Brian for a while on another forum and it was great being able to meet him as well as the other folks that we met at the cook out.  GREAT burgers and hot dogs. Our compliments to the chef!!!  Thanks again for the great evening and we look forward to chatting with you all here in the forum as well as the next time we all get to meet in person.

[QUOTE=butch's vettes]Marshall, I can't believe you didn't at least come Thursday morning for the lap around the Indy 500 speedway track! You cannot imagine what a thrill it was for both of us to drive on this track where so much history has been made and think of all the great names that had raced there. Tux and I were weaving up and down the track, warming up our tires while the caution flag was out, Tom (white 78) was driving up close to the wall while Marilyn was leaning out the window taking pictures (to be speeded up later). It takes my breath away just thinking about it. Can't wait till Effingham!! That's all folks! Butch[/QUOTE] I had made a decision early on that we would not be going on the Caravan, but I did try to look at the threads.  I must have missed any that mentioned the trip around the track (or even a mention of a route through Indy).  If I had known, I would have made every effort to be there.  I did drive the car to work that day, so it was already out.
