Alton IL River Road cruise today....
Im sorry, but I dont know of any local Corvette boards. And today I was heading towards Grafton IL and I see a long string of corvettes heading the other way. I do a U turn and follow. They headed down river road, then over the bridge into MO. Then headed down 94. I assumed they where heading towards Just Corvettes, but after awhile, they just all started spliting up. I didnt get a chance to talk to any of them. The corvette I was following had custom plates, and I sent him a pm, but his profile says OK, and this guy had MO plates that I was behind. Im just trying to find out who this club was. I have several friends with corvettes in the local area, and none of us know of any local boards with forums. There was a C1, about 3 C4s, 5 C5s and 1 C6 . The C6 had a yellow flame graphic design on the hook, car was black with a large spoiler. Anyways, I dont know where else to look. So I thought Id post here. Thanks.

The run, btw, left Fastlane Classic Cars in St. Charles and ended at Pere Marquette State Park. There were 35 cars total that went. Mostly street rods, muscle cars and Corvettes. Fun ride. Oh, I didn't get your PM.

Joseph,
If you and anyone else in your club wants to join this cruise in Shiloh Illinois on the 15 April, come on over. I'm trying to round up as many vettes as possible. It would be a nice cruise from St. Peters.
