We had a great Tech / Corvette production talk from one of our GM Engineer Friends in Raleigh Yesterday, Sat Jan 14.

About 35 ppl showed up and 10 or so from the HPDE world.

We care about your head! You just need to get a coupe...or a GS 6sp coupe (baby Z06)....or a Z06....or a Z06/Z07.....or a ZR1. You can see how this progresses.

BTW anyone looking for GS, Z06 better order them because it will be a shortened 2012 MY build followed by a very shortened 2013 MY build. I would not be surprised to see the C7 come out staggered like the C6 did.

I think I left it in your trailer last June.

You should have come to the tech meeting with John S., Corvette Engineer He could not talk about the C7s, but when you listen between the words, you could get a build time frame idea.

I just got hotel reservations at the Sleep Inn. They fill up fast guys.

This is one more GREAT event.

Almost did this last year, but chicken'd out. Sent an e-mail to Roc to see if it was going on again this year. Pleased to find out YES. Been on VIR's web site and am excited. Just made my reservations at the Villas for Sun-Tues. Will be bring my 2010 GS. Got an Edelbrock SC on it so really looking forward to getting some training from the instructors. Being a newbe. Any advice? I'm bringing the wife so does anyone know if they have like a spouses thing going on? I.E. tours. I want to ensure she does not get board while I'm having fun. We both will be coming from Va Bch, VA. So if anyone else is coming from here, let me know.

Most important piece of equipment is an open mind ready to learn. We don't have any program for guests but we can always use some help in the Museum store or the HQ tent for a bit. Guests can sign up for a ride with an instructor at the NCM HQ. And everyone is friendly, willing to answer questions and just chat.

Are you the same Roc from the National Corvette Museum? Sorry if stupid question.

But, Roc, is right, "leave ego at the gate" - did my first event last year and whata a blast, But, more to it that ya can see watching...

Painrace

Your wife is welcome to spend time at our trailer with my wife and be somewhat bored with it all. We go out to eat at night and she will meet a lot of nice fun people. I will be happy to give her a ride.

I've been wanting to do this since I got my car, what is the cost for it and when does registration open?

jcsperson

Argh. I wish I had seen this earlier!

Tom, is there any way you can keep me on a Raleigh/Durham PM list for this sort of thing? It would be most appreciated!
