[QUOTE=Adam Wartell] Ya know what, now that I think about it, maybe it was Tux's friends. I'm not saying they are a rude bunch of folks, but they are not members of C3VR and therefore didn't really understand who you where. Tux had quite a large group of his friends there. Were they people you speak of wearing C3VR shirts or anything that easily identified them as C3VR folk? If not, maybe they weren't. Also, the CAC tent was really close to the C3VR tent. I got confused at first and thought the CAC tent was ours.Like Jimmy said, I"m having a hard time with it being C3VR members. It sounds very unlike folks in our group.

The Dinner:
My dear Adam most my Corvette friends came to the dinner. Which 4 of them sat at a table away from us and 2 sat at my table 6 sat at yours. (I hoped they behaved...)
At Funfest:
3 couples came to and parked by the C3VR tent. 2 sat inside with our group and the other sat by their car. One of couples who sat in the tent enjoyed the event and the fellowship so much that I signed them up as Gold members while you were talking to Mike Yager on Sunday. Majority of those in the tent were C3VR folks.
I frequented both the C3VR and CAC lot tents and found all present to be very hospitable. But then I know these folks, and have learned if I don't I should go the extra mile on these occasions because of the situation that our new member has described.
Point In Case:
Several years ago I went to a C3VR gathering at NCM. I drove in for the day, walked around looked at cars, didn't know the group, barely talked to anyone. Likewise they barely spoke to me, I felt like an outcast!
I decided to make the change... I got more involved on this Forum, I took my wife went to Pigeon Forge Gathering, met some people, developed some lasting friendships. I have had a lot of fun!!! I guess in saying all of this:
A."Sometimes Things Aren't always As They Appear..."
B. If at 1st you don't succeed try, try, again.
I am glad I gave it another shot. If I hadn't I would have not met some really great people!!!

Ah the mystery car.... I pulled the plate like Scott requested and gave it to Marshall ( MANGET 1)to track down... It was midway through Saturday and it was non stop people in the booth... (I loved it)I think Marshall probally ran out of time because he had to head "Back Home Again To Indiana...."
Jim, Please if you can come to NCM CCX in October then dinner is on me. These are a great group of folks and you won't regret a minute of being a part of this family.
Tux...
I can tell by these responses that you are definitely not the folks I ran into. I must apologize. I really felt that the people I spoke with didn't care if I was there are not. And I agree it didn't seem like the folks we had so much fun cutting up with the year before.
My apologies, I am sure Adam is correct. I must have tried to cozy up to the CAC folks. I didn't see any C3VR shirts except when you'all were in the booth. And, that did seem pretty hectic.
Sorry guys,
Jim

Jim, I think I saw your car parked one isle above ours with the C3VR club parking pass in the windshield. If you are who I think you are , you were parked in the wrong place. I went to ask Tux to try and pull up your tag number on the site to see who it was that was parked in the wrong row with a C3VR parking pass. If that was indeed your car, that probably explains it, if not I apologize if maybe I was one of the ignoring people, sometimes I have a one track mind.
C3VR peole are some of the most friendly people on the net in person and online. I hope to meet you at another event sometime in the future !!
We should be at Classic Corvette Reunion on Saturday in Bowling Green if you can make it.
