I remember the first time I traveled with a local DFW group and three trucks towing trailers full of corvettes passed me like I was standing still - I was in the upper 70's myself......:willy::willy::willy:

Tweety will be in the caravan on the trailer (boring but not so hard to clean on arrival)! We are also bringing our friends from California with their car "Scarlett" - guess what color she is?! :woohoo::yesnod:

VETTES AND JETS ON THE LEX CARAVAN
(headed to Corpus Christi, Texas)
Friday, September 9, 2011

:auto::auto::auto::auto::auto:

Back in 2007, a caravan of corvettes started in Florida and made it’s way thru Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana picking up corvettes along the way. When the caravan made it to Houston, several of us joined them and we all headed to Corpus Christi, Texas for Vettes and Jets on the Lex event. In 2009, we did the same thing and though it was pouring rain, we still managed to pull away from the Houston area with approx. 43 corvettes. Awesome sight to see! :hurray:

We are inviting ALL corvettes to join us in a Caravan headed to Corpus Christi on Friday, September 9th, 2011 at 10am. If our out-of-town guests can arrange their schedules to perhaps be at our meeting place on Friday morning, we would love for you to join us as we drive the 2.5 hours into Corpus Christi and join the hundreds of other corvettes at the U.S.S. Lexington. NO RSVP NEEDED, JUST SHOW UP!

MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE DATE!!! For now, here are tentative times.

Meeting Place:
Super Target
16300 Southwest Frwy.
Sugarland, Texas
(281) 340-0565
(Corner of US 59 South & Highway 6)

Meeting Time: 9:15 - 9:45am
Drivers Meeting: 9:45am (5 minutes)
Take off from Target: 10:00 am sharp! :thumbs:

If you have ANY questions, please feel free to call Genevieve at 713-874-4555.

For kicks, lets start a corvette count :rofl:

1. George & Genevieve (C6 Daytona Sunset Orange) Houston
2. Tony & Jennifer (C6 Velocity Yellow - Convertible) Houston
3. Eran & Kelly J. (C6 Precision Red) Sweeny, Texas
4-15. Space City Corvette Club (various) Pearland, Texas
16. Chris (C6 black)
17. Karen (C5 Candy Red)
18. Roger & Bora (2007 Silver C6 Z06)

20. Rodney "The Punisher" (C6 Pewter)
21. Rod & Sue
22. Wendell (C4)
23. MSUGTO (will merge in Victoria)

A group of Corvettes will be coming from the DFW area and are wondering if you have an itenerary as to approximate times you will be making stops along US 59 to pick up fellow Trekkers.
Peace, Eran

There will be corvettes coming from several parts of town to the meeting place off US-59 & Highway 6. There will only be two stops - the Target for the initial meeting location & one stop for a half-time break in Victoria, Texas. If there are several of you coming in, we can perhaps swing by and pick you up. You tell us where along the highway (what city) and we'll quickly swing in so you guys can merge with us.

The times are listed on this thread. I am coming from North Houston myself. Perhaps if I knew your approx. time of reaching the North part of Houston, perhaps we can lead you into the Southwest Frwy (US59).

I will send you a PM with my phone number so we can discuss options. We would love for you guys to join us!! :rock:

Gees,

thanks for the information. I must have missed your departure time the first time through. I am not sure of our route, but it looks like we will be about 30 minutes behind you in Victoria if we leave on time 8:30 AM. Lunch along the way will probably push us back another hour. Most likely will just see you there Friday afternoon. Will get with Eran and maybe make the run back to Houston with you guys to visit our parents. It is only an hour further time wise. :rock:

Eran X. Jones 08-11-2011 07:15 AM

Mid Coast Corvette Club Group
 
Mid Coast Corvette Club will have four Corvettes joining in on the Corpus Christi Vettes & Jets On The Lex Caravan:
:woohoo:
Kim Wallace, Eran Jones, David & Cindy Adams, and Wes & Susan James

Andrew6@TheDoubleAA 08-11-2011 07:44 AM

I'm excited about this trip. This will be my first true weekend off in 2 monthes. Only bad thing is I miss the first Texans game of the season :(

GEES 08-11-2011 02:46 PM

All clubs included and even those that are not in a Club.

No, this is not a particular Club. This caravan is open to ALL corvettes whether you are in a club or not. We are just several corvettes old and new getting together to caravan to Corpus Christi. Again, we would love for the Floridians to join us. Feel free to call if you have questions even if it's during your meeting.

Genevieve :cheers:

I wish we could make it later but we are trying to avoid a sit down lunch with 100+ folks. That'll easily take us approx. 2 hours. So a 2.5 hour trip may end up taking us 5 hours to get there. Well if anything changes, you are more than welcome to join us.

Mapquest has us taking 770A off of 10W on to 59S and then TX-91 tp US-77. We plan to leave Lake Charles at 7:00 so we should be in Huston about 10:00 and will call you. Is the number listed a cell number?

We just stayed in Fort Walton last month. Spent a long weekend over there and kept seeing vettes driving around all over the place. Beautiful area. How many vettes are traveling with you? Can't wait to meet all of you!

See you soon!
