At least three of us from Lynchburg are going - if anyone else wants to caravan with us, we are going 29 North to I-64.

We will do Night Race, 60th Anniversary Arctic White, then Black. It will be like book ends.

Won't that be three '13s?

Thanks to all who are making plans to join us! We're less than 2 weeks away from our big cruise-in! Bring your friends and your Corvettes...rain or shine (but we're hoping for lots of shine)!

A few questions answered:

What about food? All food and concessions at our show are FREE. Always have been!

What's for lunch? Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. David Walker, Zip's president, will be manning the grill!

Want to park beside your buddies? Let us know when you get here and we can make it happen.

Need to leave early? No worries. We'll park you where you can easily exit.

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday, May 2!

Joe,
There will be at least three Corvettes Caravanning in from the Lynchburg, VA area, y2kcoupe(couple), jsucraig(couple), and at least one other couple. We would like to park together and have the ability to leave at our leisure.

Thanks,
Craig

Craig -
No problem. When you get here, there will be someone to greet you in your Corvette and direct you to parking. Let him know that you want to park together.

I will probably be up there from NC. My sister lives in Mechanicsville on Cold Harbor Rd. I was at one of your get togethers a couple of year ago and had a great time. It was a little chilly the day I was there.

We are going to be leaving Sheetz at the intersection of US 29 and Rt 130 in Madison Heights, VA tomorrow at 8:00 am headed to Zip Corvettes via US 29 North and I-64 East. We will be making a quick stop at Zion's Crossroads off I-64. If you headed to Zip and want to caravan with us, all or part of the way, let us know.

We had a great time. Half the fun was getting there. Our column of five Vettes left out of Madison Heights, VA around 8:00. About Halfway down I64 from C'ville we roll past a moving parking lot with 9 wrapped up C7s for some lucky dealership. The Driver honked as y2kcoupe in the lead Vette, a 60th Anniversary Grand Sport Coupe passed by and then again as we brought up the rear in our Black '13 Grand Sport Coupe. I guess that was his version of a "Corvette Wave"! around 10:20 we made it into parking in the 'sand pit' at Zip Corvettes.

Thanks for putting a great event - had fun getting there and fun being there! It is already on our list for next year and hoping to have even more caravan with us.
Here is jsucraig's Vette entering Zip's grounds.
