Just a note to thank those who worked hard to pull together a great weekend at PF. Adam & Mike you guys rocked the house. Your modesty abounds you. Through your hard work and dedication this event was virtually flawless. I don't believe anyone could have had a bad time.
There were many other who pitched in to help as well, Theresa with groceries, Jim with the truck, all the members who helped with the canopy, bar-b-que etc. Norsky with the forum links for caravans.
This was the club site family event that the members had been describing in an earlier forum topic this month of what C3VR was.
My wife and I met many members this weekend and developed some friendships that will last well in to the future. (Al-X & Butch) Not to mention the dragon (Woo-Hoo)and the wonderful trolley rides!!!
Again, thanks to you Adam & all of the members in attendance for a terrific weekend!

Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.

It was great to meet everyone and put faces to the screen names.  Linda and I enjoyed everyones company immensely.  Adam and Mike did a knockout job putting it together.

I appreciate all the hard work and the trophies, dash plaques and tee shirts too.  We had a blast of a time and hope to do it again.

It was great to meet up with 78sevette and the Great Pumpkin to travel down the highway and then hooking up with Norsky along the way.  This was a truly outstanding vette event.

Thanks everybody and it was a pleasure to meet you all in person.

I had a BLAST...the , ahem, "spirited driving" on the way down the dragon was a definite highlight. 

Thanks to everyone who planned and coordinated especially Iron Mike and Adam.

I'm already planning on driving West next year !! But I won't straight through drive it ever again...

BTW, whoever was kind enough to lend me the towel yesterday, I forgot who it was in the hustle and bustle, let me know where to mail it to after I wash it...

Great to hear everyone had a great time. I attended a mini get together in NJ about a month and a half ago at another members house LukesVette AKA Paul, and I must say I had a wonderful time meeting some of the local members, so I can only imagine what a outstanding gathering PF must have been.   


Thanks To All !!!

Boy do I agree with everyone.  Where would we have been without the canopy Friday nite, the two cooks who got soaked while we stayed semi-dry, and the engineers who got the BBQ grill fired up.  Who would have thought a rainy nite BBQ could be so much fun.  It really brought us togeather.  Thanks to everyone mentioned in the previous threads.

For me a special thanks to those who helped me.  I lost my breaks on the way in to PF and thought my goal (To run the Dragon) was gone. Before supper the problem was diagnosed and Jim had driven me to advance to order the part.  The next morning Dave M. drove me to pick up the part and Jim was waiting in the parking lot to start fixing it.  Sarge came, as arranged the nite before, and Stingray Jim's son brought a jack and away they went. 

Saturday afternoon I was able to Run the Dragon with everyone else and enjoy the "spirited " run back to the hotel.  Thanks to all who helped everyone.




Thanks To All !!!

I too want to thank everyone for a great time. I wish I had more time to meet all that attended. The togetherness we all shared under the tent was great. Can't wait for next year. This time the vette will be included in the fun.
