Got my confirmation for Vette Fest today. Working on the Chicago Crew banner. This is getting exciting.

Anybody else get their letter?

 

Yea Frank Received Mine Today As Well . This Will Be Fun Hope Your Mods Are Done In Time >?????????????

 

They have most of the parts in and should start towards the end of next week. Trying to get wheels and tires, but it's not looking good right now. That's OK though cause it's still going to be a great time with all you guys there.
I'll get you pics of the progess if possible.

 

you can barrow Tims Zwheels he don't need them

 

got mine aswell!

 

Look in your mailbox this week for our "New, Improved and Expanded" Car Show Guide.

If you dont get it by then end of next week, or you are sure you are not on our mailing list, e-mail me your address and I will send one out!

Thanks/BA bashton@autorama.com

Thanks Bob, sounds good. One question, the confirmation letter said no more than 1/8 of a gas tank. I thouhgt it was no more than 1/4 of a tank. I understand the reason behind the lower amount, just wondering if this is a change. Thanks.

 

What is the EXAXT Day that the CHICAGO CREW is hanging at VETTE FEST?

 

I'll be there friday setting up and all day sat/sun.. so we'll miss any caravan ect.. but we will be right across from the forum area

I will be there most of Saturday and the afternoon of Sunday then bring the car home .... this is going to be a blast I hope . almost time to start detailing the car

 

GUYS, what is the exact DATE of the event? November ___ what?

 

18th 19th

 

Jimmy, Here is the schedule as I know it:

Friday, November 17 - Move in and setup...You should receive another letter soon regarding the move-in times and procedure.

Saturday Nov 18th & Sunday Nov 19th is the actual Vette Fest open to public.

Bob will probably chime in to confirm and offer more details.

I'm taking off Friday the 17th and hope to get my vette in there by
5 PM or 6 PM for the setup and last minute detailing. My car is getting transported down there so I'm not sure of the exact time. I'll be there all day Saturday and Sunday and will drive the vette home Sunday night if I can get some gas right away. Maybe the Crew can stop after setting up Friday night to tip a few at one of the many local spots.

Hope that helps Jimmy and see you there. It should be a great time.

 

It is indeed 1/4 not 1/8 tank. The 1/8 is for McCormick, (my error on the letter) but we were able to get the Rosemont folks to flex a bit. As an FYI, there is a 24 hour gas station about 1/4 mile from the Convention Center.

 

Bob, thanks for gas station info, checking and confirming the gas tank level requirements. Having a 1/4 tank and a nearby 24 hour gas station will make going home a breeze.

 

Thanks for filling in some blanks;

Regular setup runs from 10am-9pm on Friday the 17th. We will have assigned times in 3-hour blocks based on your location on the floor. Corvette Forum display is pretty much dead center of the show, so 3-6pm is optimum for you guys. This will help us alleviate back-ups, as we will have even more cars than we had at the April show, and considerably tighter isles to accomodate the extra cars and vendor spots! (366 was the actual count for the Spring 06 show)

We have 49 Corvettes registered as of today just for the Triple Crown! This beats the previous Vettefest record, which was 28. Can we double it? Might happen! This does not include the ones registered for Gold Spinner and Bow Tie Blvd.

We have Corvettes from 1953 all the way up to 2006 including a real 1956 Sebring contender, two 54's two 69 L-88's over 35 427/435's including a "matched pair" of Black/Black with red stinger and some other unusual color combinations along with some really sweet C5's and C6's that will be shown for the very first time.

Brent Jarvis is breaking out his "Instigator" 59 Pro Streeter, which has been in numerous magazines and has run high 7 second quarters...and it is 100% street legal!

Z06 Jim and ISCA Champions Brian and Melinda Love with their C5 will be there with their awesome cars and displays.

C1/C2/C3/C4/C5 or C6, we will have them all, including an awesome bunch from; you guessed it..The Corvette Forum!

Thanks Ladies and Gentleman...it is going to be a GREAT SHOW!

 

Oh yeah...got so excited about telling you some of what will be there I forgot to say; Public show hours are Saturday the 18th 9-6 and Sunday the 19th 9-6.

Awards Sunday @ 4pm/Move out 6-9pm.

And if you are bringing a truck and trailer, we have made arrangements for FREE PARKING in the marshalling yard with FREE Shuttle service for move-in and move-out. (This is limited to Truck and/or Trailer parking only; not for cars)
