Bloomington Gold, had a great time
We had a great time at Bloomington Gold and are traveling back to NY in our new 66 Impala SS that we purchased a few weeks ago. I'll have to return later this week to drive the Vette home.
Saturday evening we were invited to attend a picinic held by the Fox Valley Corvette Club which is quite a gathering out in the country. The parade of approximately 500 corvettes goes past the picinc site and is quite a sight to see. A few volunteers are out at the road to help control traffic while more cars than I can count stop and do their best attempt at a burnout. Since there were no good C2 attempts made some old guy in a Red Coupe gave it a try.
Enjoy!

Roy is being too modest!
That was only one of three magnificent, tire-shredding runs he made. The assembled women and children had to flee from the huge clouds of toxic smoke he created.
I am honored to be babysitting Roy's Corvette for a few days and the temptation is very strong....

Great burnout. That 427 just has all the raw power to send those wheels a smoking.

I was there - we were on top of the white van with the deck on top of it taking tons of pics.
That was a blast. Thanks to our gracious hosts from the Fox Valley Corvette Club. What a great bunch of people.
