Just got back in from a "dry run" to Bair's Corvette's.

The route looks good. I-90 to I-79. There is one 10 mile section on I-79 that is milled for future paving. So you might have to hang on tight to the steering wheel.

On the way back we are going to deviate over to route 5 which runs along Lake Erie. That will take us right the the restaurant "Dock at the Bay."

Brian Bair has a nice array of things he's going to be doing with us at his shop. There will be a local Corvette Club joining us during our visit. More people, more Vette's yeah!!! Big smile

Big smile

When we pull in the lot (I will be lead vehicle) follow me and park 4 cars deep and then start another row. If you forget there will be people to help guide us along.

For the people going to this Gathering. When you get into town and have a need to contact me for whatever reason. Hopefully to join you for a beer...only kidding. My phone number is 716-nine83-4two43. Please do not sell my number to a 3rd party for profit. I know Dave will. Clown

See ya'll soon! Party

OK so do park four deep first or do we park next to one another for 7 cars then park behind you with the eighth, fifteenth and 22nd or does car number two park behind you then number three behind number 2 then number four behind number 3? Should we set it up so we are color coordinated or won't that matter. How will Dave Mooney keep track if he has his shoes and socks on? Never mind, Nadine will be there. Big smile

Do you want all the C3s first, then C4, then C5, then C6 and C7 last?

Will this be a photo op?

Can I be in the last row?

Does my back end make me look fat?

Wait, strike that last question.

Generational order would be nice. But since there will be members from another club joining us, the answers to all your questions are no. Clown

Any "TOLLS" involved in this venture? I do not have E-Z pass. Will that put me behind or ahead of "DAD"?

Yep, the "Grand Island Bridge" tolls. Just keep a couple bucks in quarters in your ashtray. I think the toll is .50 or .75 cents. I'll probably take a quick run up that way to check.

"ASH TRAY"! Have you seen a 1972 Corvette ash tray? I,m thankful my lip balm will fit in it. I'll bring some $1.00 singles and a roll of Washingtons. Guess I should have bought Dave's cup holder. Big smile

Well Dave C. and myself could fix that tiny ashtray issue. LOL

We won't leave anyone behind at the tolls. If traffic allows we'll all line up off to the right shoulder or just roll slow in the right lane.

Trust me, NY'ers have zero patients and will just race around you like a lunatic. I've lived here most of my life and I can't stand the drivers here. Angry

YUP! I agree. I live on the border, and get lots of offenders. Mostly on week-ends when the city empties out and they land in our county.

Grand Island bridges are $1. At least from he south, not sure what the charge is from the north, probably the same.

Well it's been since 2006 since I traveled up that way. After I retired from the Niagara Falls Air Force base I never have been back up through that way. Confused
