Hotel rooms are tight. We made reservations the day after Funfest last year, and then they couldn't guarantee a room until January.

Hey their Fastbird93,
The last time I was stationed at Scott AFB. was in 1968. located in Belleville,Il. I had a nice return visit with old AFfriends in 1996 and it was still located in Belleville,Il. not Collinsville.

I'll be there again probably on Saturday for the day as I am only a bit over an hour away. Corvette Forum members should have a great parking area. Stay tuned for more when the time gets closer.

RobSC501.....I initially thought "are you kidding me, another one pointing it out?" until I saw your recant.

No worries man. I just make it a habit to not live on or right next to base wherever I'm at.

Fun Fest Registration

I did a search and found this information for registration to the Fest. Looks like a good time. I think I'm gonna try to work it in to my schedule. If anyone out there has been to previous years, please add your comments. I'll be driving in from Austin, Tx, and don't want to drive that far if it wouldn't be worth the time. Any help or comments would be appreciated. Thanks, 1BAV
