You are welcome anytime in either vette....watch for our run threads in Southern California Regional Events forum...just look for "MVCC Corvette/Cobra",etc...or "Varmit GTG"......We always have runs on the first Saturday of every month...(it rained heavy Jan 5th,so we moved this one to today)
We are going to Palm Springs next month Feb 2nd...so bring your "Z" on that one...

The Corvette/Cobra idea started a few years ago...not a club..no dues,no officers or rules....just go out and drive them..
We are lucky here,with only 3 weeks of winter...one in December,one in January and one Feburary...

I'd be really suprised to see the Bolts beat Indy...

One of the guys got this...
