I wish we had more driving events like this around here. Just seems like everyone is content to sit and wax their cars here. I prefer to drive than wax. Looks like a fun time.

Great pics Rich. Looks like you guys had a pretty nice turnout for the run. The weather here today is around 70 and sunny. Too bad I feel like warmed over poop. Its getting time to start getting these cars back out guys. I can't wait.

I am just going to be completely honest... I think there is something mentally wrong with you! I always see you post pics of vette and cobra runs and the car I always see in your pics is the '78. I, however, would be driving the '69 502.

Its neat seeing the C3s next to other generations. They don't even look related.

Looks like you all had a great time!

Rich, it looks like a great weekend. Someday I hope to join y'all. But for now the basket case 73 project sits inside the depths of the man cave. Recent raised from the dead, it isn't happy. But someday this one eyed frankenstein will hit the road.
