The Longhorn Corvette Club is hosting a sweatheart rally this Saturday (2/14). You will need a car and a sweaterheart (or just somebody to sit in the passanger seat). We are meeting at 10 a.m. at Don Hewlett Chevrolet in Georgetown. You will be given clues that will ultmately lead you to a destination where we will eat lunch. The event will take place rain or shine so feel free to bring a non Vette.

On Sunday, February 23, the Longhorn Corvette Club is hosting a driving school. The class begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock. There will be about thirty minutes of class time led by legendary NCCC racer Tom Moore (at least legendary in my mind). This will be followed by a couple of hours of teaching and autocrossing. If you do not have a Vette, come run what you have. Last year we had a couple of Cameros and this year we will have at least one Porsche.

Mark it on your calendar now. The Longhorn Corvette Club annual Vette show (Corvettes at the Diamond) will be held August 15-17. Proceeds from the show benefit the Pegasus School for Boys in Lockhart. Last year we had over 170 Corvettes. This year we will have a burn out contest and a private party hosted by the Round Rock Express following the show.

If you have any questions regarding these events, please feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks for the update. I am going to try to make it on the 23 for the driving school, seeing as Tom was kind enough to grace us with his presence at our club meeting a couple of weeks ago, and personally invite all of us. And I will definitely try to make it to Corvettes at the Diamond in August.

damn...wish I was going to have my new wheels and tires by the 23rd... :(

Kal-El

Actually, it is just show up and drive. However, if you just feel like you need to pay something, I will gladly take your money. :D

Hope to see you there.

dahoof

Count me in on the 23rd...... :cheers:

Can't beat free ... I'll try to make it. My wife got me a gift certificate to a Panoz track day for our anniversary and I need to learn to drive my new 6- speed :lol:

lotzahp

COOL!

I gotta make that driving event. :auto:

Chris Fowler

Wow! My wheels actually came in today (ordered them Sunday). I'll hopefully get them on tomorrow night and be there this Sunday. :cool:

Kal-El

Just wanted to remind you guys about the driving school this Sunday at 10:30 at the Dell Diamond. It is raining now but should be nice Sat and Sun.

Chris Fowler

Do we need our own helmets or any special equipment? :confused:

Kal-El

It is a good idea to bring a helmet. Just bring what you would bring to autocross.

I think I see the sun breaking through. :cool:

Chris Fowler

Well...I've never been to an autocross. Don't have a helmet. :(

Kal-El

There will be plenty of helmets to use. In fact, you can use mine. I usually autocross in shorts and a t-shirt (depending on weather). :steering:

Chris Fowler

:cool:

JeffB

Well...since I live no more than 1 /12 miles from there (Ryans Crossing) Ill be sure to be there...NO auto cross for me..But really want to watch it.

No Cost to do that? Other than my coffee? :D :D

Chris Fowler

I had a blast! Thanks! :cheers:

JeffB

It was fun...Great runs I saw...At least I think they were. Since that was the first one I have seen. That Mustang about cost himself about 80k in NSX. :lol: It was cool to watch..Ill be looking forward to that again.

Chris? Which one was yours? :)

Kal-El what is the monthly dues to Longhorn Corvette Club again? :confused:

I also had a great time. This was my first Autocross with the Vette. I was very impressed with the way it handled.

Chris Fowler

Mine was the '94 Polo Green coupe. First time I've ever autocrossed anything so I'm not exactly sure how I did. I can't wait to see my times. :D

And which one was yours? :)
