ATTENTION TO ALL!!!
If it is wet and sloppy down at the area in starved rock (the turn off to the left to boat dock area) we will move the parking and stuff to Matheiesen park just 2-3 miles south on the same road as the SR park entrance past rt 71 its the last park entrance on the right before you cross the little vermilion river so if you dont see any vettes at the rock thats were we will be!! thanx Tony

Small turnout, about a dozen cars showed up, but a good time was had by all. Raised $99 for Elliott. Thanks to all that contributed! Blunblk68 (Tony) won the 50/50 and contributed it all back to Elliott! Nice meeting all you guys. The C3 crowd was well represented.

here's a couple more pics from yesterday.It was a small turn out,and sorry that we missed the rest of you.We got alittle money together for Elliot,and got to meet some nice people.
These are C3s here,but were some nice C5s,and C6s there.One C4 got there soon after I did,but he went ahead,and left before the rest of the people showed up.
Anyways....it was a beautiful day,a few vettes,and some good people to shake hands with........
Tony's friend/forum member's "myvett" super clean 74.
and....the big fellas Tony w/'the gimp" patiently waitng to outrun mother nature.
