I agree with Larry, There will be hundreds & hundreds of people at the museum, we should do our own thing.

I tend to agree that it would be very difficult to have our normal gathering at the NCM. Norsky and I could put on half way decent (MN expression for really good) gathering here in Minnesota.

Hey guys,

I thought I'd pass on voting but I'm with Dave & Larry on being at our own C3VR gig and be with the people who make it great.

Dejablu said: I voted for the Mn, SD, Wis area. I personally think the Gathering is for C3VR members to get together to cruise, see new sites and experience a more personnal relationship with each other. The NCC would put us as a very small part of a much bigger group and agenda, much less personal. It would be great to be part of the NCC, but as far as the Gathering, I feel we would get lost. Just my opinion.

Larry

To play "Devil's Advocate" I'm sure those C3VR folks who were a part of the 2009 National Corvette Caravan and the 15th anniversary celebration of the NCM will tell you that they had a great time. The craziness at the museum was there for us to participate in at our own level and we had several things planned to do as a group (cookouts in the motel parking lot, gokart racing in the evening, etc). Yes there are a lot of Corvettes and people to see but being part of a large caravan is pretty cool too.

And then there is "The Plant". I'm guessing the 2015 C7s should be rolling down the line by then. With all the changes going on there the place will have a different look than we've seen before.

Several of the past gatherings have been held where there were larger events going on in the neighborhood. We still did our own thing and had fun - the other events were a sidebar to whatever we had planned.

I haven't voted yet 'cuz I need to sit down and figure out how much vacation I'll have by then. That will be the major factor in my being able to any event next year.

Living only an hour from NCM, it would be nice to have a gathering in the upper middle region, so it gets our vote. Just to see another part of the country. We would look forward to any location with this group of fine folks, always a great time, in our Corvette or a rented SUV!! Agree with what's been said so far and would look forward to the gathering in the upper middle region provided it's at a time we can attend.

I'm not going to vote because I would be interested in any of the locations and don't have a specific preference. That said, I will note that just because we go to the museum as part of a trip doesn't mean we need to stay there with the messes. There are plenty of things to do in the general area (Nashville, anyone?, Bourbon Trail?) The only thing I do request is that any dates chosen not conflict with other major events. I was very disappointed that this year's gathering conflicted with Bloomington Gold. It was a shame that anyone have to choose between these large events. I would have liked to (and would have) attended both events.

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

We did have phun in cave city and the 25 mile jaunt to the museum and back was delightful.

Da boot and Minnie Sotah are of great interest and seems to me would be more entertaining ... new stuff ... new place.

I will go to either if the schedule works out.
