Default St Louis C3 Sharks

During a car show last weekend the subject of a C3 Shark "club" was brought up. If anyone in the St Louis, Mo area would be interested in this, respond to this thread. During earlier thread about the Mid-Missouri CC show there seemed to be some interest. I'm not talking about a formal club at this time, but maybe a tech. get together occasionally to talk 'shop'. There were quit a few C3 modifier guys and some like me, that aren't that good at mods but know enough to keep the car original.

I'm west of you about 70 miles in Salem, Illinois. I don't know if I could make every meeting or bring the Vette each time but it sounds like fun. is there anyone from my neck of the woods that would be interested in commuting together? If the meetings were held on a friday night or saturday it would definitely make it easier for those who drive a long way

STW!
