Default Cookout in CT

Hey guys I was thinking of doing a cookout at my place around Sept. 17 or 18. Got the wife to agree to this. I figure we can all chip in for food. I got a good size driveway to keep cars safe. This would be a good way to meet some forum members. Please let me know if you like this idea.

Good call - but ask the mods to move this post to the Northeast section. You will get a lot more local responses there.

I'm in - I live in CT as well

Are you sure that it's safe there in Bridgeport? I hear it can be pretty rough out there, especially for Corvettes!

I live in Groton, right near the Sub Base. It'd be great to meet some fellow Vette owners; So count me in.

Keep me posted.

Hey,
Thanks for the invite. It'd be great to meet some fellow vette owners nearby, but unfortunately I'll be out of town this weekend. The next time you guys get together, let me know, and hopefully I'll be able to join you.
