I would!! Its still very street legal, but anymore than 3 or so hours in it my fat butt goes numb from the racing seats.

The car is not much to look at but I would like to go hang out with you guys. The only thing stopping me would be my wedding and honeymoon the end of September. After that Im sure I could make a weekend getaway, possibly before it too.

Yup same thing really and thats part of the reason I was thinking about doing this.

Alright Im going to start a thread to determine a time frame and location based on polls.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/nort...ring-poll.html

Lets see if this is worth doing. I dont think its ever been done. A planned c4 only meet. So everyone try and see what you can do.

Well there is no cap to how many can show. Its rare to have more than a handful or so at shows or in your town. I dont care if we have 100 or more. As long as people stick to their word and show I dont mind doing the work to organize.

Soldier or Sailor? (your name FC soldier but your occupation Navy)

Anyway,

A C4 run is a great event to coordinate. Last October we ran the first SoCal Bomber Run. We got three guys from NoCal

Here are few pictures









Ben planned a Yosemite Run. Three C4 and four guys showed up.











...and the last Run after all that talk, and all the I received only three Vettes showed up.



Runs are fun, a bitch to plan and the place you would like to reserve for lunch may say "we don't reserve tables" but, it is great to get few C4 down the road.

In my book, a C4 line up provided great Corvette Car Show pictures, once you open their hoods it's over. Our unique feature is incomparable with all other Corvette generations.

Cool picture Riks

Its Sailor but when I was younger I selected soldier due to fact I was going to try special forces. It didnt work out that way and didnt have my name swapped.

That is a great idea! I agree with Gregg on doing it here in Maryland but I think Fort McHenry would be a really cool place to meet.
I know some guys in the War of 1812 Society that may be able to pull some strings and get us a reserved area to park-just a thought...

Unless they increase their traveling range there is only two people in the bracket for travel range. One being me. I wouldnt mind meeting you there and maybe get a few more from the area to drive up. It does sound like a good location only if people are willing to extend their traveling.
