Default Your top 3 Corvette Events for the year R

What are the 3 top big Corvette Events that you plan on attending this year. Remember it is only January and you have time to make plans. For me it is.
1. Bloomington Gold
2. Corvettes at Carlsile
3. Corvette Fun Fest at Mid America Direct

Now in 2009 you have to add in Labor Day Weekend at NCM for the National 2009 Caravan also so it would be Top 4 events

Can anyone confirm the dates listed above for the NCRS Nationals in St Charles, MO; July 13-17, 2007?
The NCRS web site has it listed for July 20-24!
I hope the dates of July 13-17 are correct for the NCRS, then I could attend the NCRS Nationals on the way to the Chevrolet Nomad Association Convention in Charleston WV. The nomad dates are July 20-24!
Thank You
Greg

April 6 Chicago, IL: Route 66 Cruise with the 63-67 Sting Ray Registry. Arrive in CA 16 days later. We will do the tourist thing for a few days in CA and return home driving through the northern states with a stop in Boissevain, Manitoba to visit my sister, then back home to NY. Will be on the road in the Vette for 5 to 6 weeks traveling over 7,000 miles.

Corvettes at Carlisle

Lots of local cruise-ins

Not in any order...

Local cruise-ins from Spring 'till the fall.

Possibly take in the huge cruise in/car show in Frankenmuth, MI

Some time in mid-summer, think it's August, attend the Windsor Corvette show on the Canadian shoreline. Attended it in 2005...very nice venue and friendly folks.

'Course the Woodward Dream Cruise...have neve missed a year.

Would luv to participate in that Route 66 tour which starts in Chicago and ends in Santa Monica, California. Just had to pass because of family health. Here's a link to this event:

http://69.89.25.185/~trexsoft/t-rexs...oute662008.htm

Been reading about the Hot August Nites cruise in. That has a lot of appeal.

A summer weekend in Auburn, Indiana...not sure what week in '08 but I believe they have a huge cruise-in-not necessarily all Vettes...tour their museums.

Looking forward to a lot of wheel time.

Oh yeh, I can't count either.

Jim
