Well-aware of how the existing club parking works, and what we're sorta hoping for is a special "modified" version of that concept. I don't know if that can happen or not...but as of right now, not even 24 hrs of posting this poll in 7 forums here, we already have 50 "definitely attending" cars....as you can surely guess, by the time of the show, this number will easily be in the triple digits.

With those kinds of numbers, we may have enough "power" to get some sort of special deal out of them. Maybe, maybe not...but it's what we'd like to see, and the reason I put this poll out there.

Thanks for the support!!

Tom

There are a lot of just average vettes there, and then there are a lot of show quality vettes as well. You don't have to "show" your car to attend, this is a great event with something for everyone.

This poll has been posted in all generational sections, as well as the Great Lakes and National events forum.

Polls have been up for less than 2 days, and so far, a total of 72 have indicated they are 'definitely going".

I'd like to see that number exceed 100 before I contact Bloomington Gold officials about this. The larger the group we have, the better our chances of this idea becoming reality.

Thanks to all who have voted already. Keep the votes coming. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to bump it up.
