I'm going, first timer. Looking like Friday simply because the weather will be nicer and I'm bringing my 70 year old dad for the couple hour drive from St. Louis with the top down, so I think he'll handle it better! Not sure what to expect, but I'm sure it'll be fun no matter what. I seriously have no idea what to expect, so expecations aren't really high enough for me to possibly be disappointed!

I hope that you will have a fun filled day at Corvette Funfest. You will do plenty of walking if you want to go out into the show field and check out all the Corvettes. There will be plenty there on Friday but there will be more there on Sat. Heck you can not believe the weather man. We were to get rain last night and this morning and we haven't seen a drop yet. Hell the weather man is the only job I know that you can do your job WRONG all the time and still not get fired and even draw a paycheck each week. Go figure. Anyway, stop by the F/S area and say Hi. I will be there setting next to my 72 Ontario Orange BB sipping on a Mountain Dew.

Glad to hear the weather should be nice. Just got to packing and earlier did a little clean up/wash on the car. I'm sure when I get there it will need to be done again. Got word my little HD camcorder is in so I will be picking it up tomorrow. Hope to be on the road by 5 or 530p so should have a full Saturday there.

I was there today and it was a good time as always!!

Met Mike T. in the FS area- nice big block for sale there too- anybody that wants a 454 auto he's the man to see.

Saw alot of improvements to the grounds even over last year. I think the crowd was a bit thin though- parking cars double-spaced and still had lots of parking area leftover. Attended some seminars, saw some cool stuff.

All in all a great time for all. Thanks to MAM for the hospitality! Had a great drive there and back.

Hey All, from Jeffersonville In. Made the drive up to Funfest early Saturday morning. I64 to rough riding I 57 . Took a look at an ILL map before heading back and decided to run US 45 S down to I 64. Good call, three of us enjoyed the beautiful top down drive back. Ended up running 200 of the 250 miles home on two lanes with the top down. So whats a lil ole sunburn? Man, running those two lanes brought back child hood memories of back when. Yeah my feet are still burning from all the walking at FunFest, and yes there were lots of two legged scenery also. I enjoyed the day. FunFest is truely a FunTime. You just can't see that many beautiful Corvettes in one place very often.

Was there a little sat liked the new store. The tent from past years was usually a little warm. I also noticed the burn out box and the hundreds of dollers worth of rubber left in it.
