My son has already told me, "We are going to this one!!" So, I was just wondering who all is going to be there besides me. Post up if you think you are going to go.

Forgot to add a link to the event.

Sounds like fun I'll be there. I might try autocrossing this time. You get extra points for hitting the cones right

P.S. Can't wait to se ethe car in person.

I had been planning on attending this since about May. I now have a paying gig in TN that week and that weekend will be driving a trailer full of horses back from TN to WI. I really wanted to go too... my dad lives in KY and would have been a chance to go see him.

Oh well, I'll have a lot of fun doing the jousting thing, but will miss all the C3 fun!
Cheers!

I'm tempted, but that's a long haul and I guess I don't trust my car to make it there and home without a problem. I don't know why, but I always seem to be waiting for the next thing to break and would hate to be 300 miles from home when it happens. Anybody else have the same problem?

That's fall break, I'll be in Orlando Fl (Disney World!!!) with my family. I was just up there on Labor Day for the 10th Anniversary...maybe this explains why there were so few C3s there.

Ya'll have fun, be safe and take plenty of pictures.

Bring a different car! While it's nice to bring your C3, you don't have to. You can just ooh and ah over the others there.

Yeah, Mark and I will be heading up there for the event. Our Bryar Blue 72 coupe is still on display at the NCM from the 50th. We want to head up for this event.

Any Chicago area C3'rs going? Was hoping to find at least a couple that want to caravan down. Looks like the Tennessee guys will be well represented!

One thing that is in my way, is Corvette Expo in Knoxville. I want to do both events. Maybe I can go to Expo on Friday and C3 Extravaganza on Saturday. Its up to my son. We will make either one he wants to make. I need to ask him his preference and register if I am going to C3 Extravaganza.
