Figured you'd have this up already!
Surprised that drag racing is Saturday afternoon. Oh well, I'll have to see about that.
Did you get your reservations at the Hampton yet? I need to.

Forget the pasta dinner. not worth the money. I went in 02, and then skipped the last two years. Last year they even ran out of food!

The food is not worth the cost! Our local group got together and went out to Outback Steakhouse, right across the street from the baymont

Did the RT1G tour replace the OMGWABK tour? That was just too much fun! Is it May yet?

They had some awesome drink specials there as well. I think I'll walk there from the Baymont this time.

Big T, what up? Giving it some serious consideration. I'm certainly no different then the rest of you, winter has really just started and I can't wait until spring. Looking forward the the next Vette Fest even though after a few years they seem to be the same. Just need my Vette fix I guess.

Wow - just learned something today (it's amazing what you can learn when you visit other forums - this time of year I tend to just hang around the Great Lakes section.

The Plant Tour in BG now costs $5.00!!

Man of Man - what the heck are they thinking? There's a long thread going in C5 General. It's more the principle of the thing. I think every time I've ever been on the tour (probably at least 10 times), I've met several other Corvette owners. So they're basically going to be charging money to their best customers! To me it's not about the money, but as stated on the other thread, the principle of the whole thing.

We ought to protest.

How many people normally show up for this meet?

How are the cruises? Slow and Boring, Reasonable, Insane?

How long does it take to cruise down from the NW burbs?
