I vote for Phoenix in the winter. It's always sunny and daytime temperatures in the 70's.

The RT66 sounds very interesting, as well as the surrounding area AZ.

Being dead center in the east, out west is someplace we would enjoy.

It is a bit far, so I would not drive, even in a metal car. 

The event 2023 was amazingly organised and planned, so that is a factor for deciding to visiting out west. 

I say include the newer years too, I do think they would enjoy anything Corvette.

Route 66 has the 60s and 70s nostalgia factor but no great airports if people fly in from the east.  You need to fly into Las Vegas or Phoenix and then catch a hopper into Flagstaff or drive to whichever location 2.5-3.5 hours away from either airport.  Logistically it is not a great spot for meetings like this.  And there are few "events" to attend and often quite remote.   If this were a Jeep or similar type of meeting it would be more practical for Route 66 but frankly, we could do a day in Sedona.  The biggest towns along the way are Flagstaff, Winslow and Kingman.  None of which are known for their great variety of meeting options.

Just sayin'...

First weekend in May is the RT66 Fun Run.  Always 100 degrees.

We stay in Williams for the better lodging.  Williams has a nicer downtown then Seligman.  Sunday end up in Lake Havasu midday.

We are not familiar with the S/W. That being said, we try to make as many gatherings as possible. Don’t care for big cities, time and place is important. C-4 and 6 are welcome.

Arizona sounds nice, except for heat.  

Mark mentioned 4 Corners, but there is nothing there and it's dirt roads all around there.

I don't want to be in a urban area at all. And I'm all for the other year Vettes to join us!

Hi Dave, I'm completely ignorant on the environment of that part of the country. I was thinking of the access to multiple states. Any of the four are of interest to me.

I live in the Phoenix area, so that would be an obvious choice, but I think a location in Northern AZ would be great for the East Coasters.

Along with C3VR, sister sites are C4VR and C6VR. Even though unfortunately there’s not (at least not an affiliated) C5VR site, that generation is more than welcome. There have been plenty of C5s at recent gatherings 😁





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