Default [SW Ohio] Fall Colors Road Tour - Restoration Station Oct 16

with attendance in the past few years of over 200 Corvettes... you will want to attend the 2016 edition of this event.
Jeff Bernhardt does an excellent job on this event; well organized and a lot of fun.

Oct. 16
Drivers meeting 1pm
Scenic drive starts 2pm

Best to arrive IMO no later than noon. Like previous years, a charity will be selling burgers & hotdogs before the caravan leaves on the tour.

Location:
Restoration Station
250 Hiawatha Trail
Springboro, OH 45066




if you want to see videos of past Road Tours, click on Youtube link:

Don't have time to drive the entire tour route? No problem; break-off whenever you need to.

Yvonne and I will have our 2015 there, am currently doing a seat conversion (from Standard to Competition). Only have just one seat done (passenger)... stop by and check out the comparison between the two styles.

Tim

I am planning on attending (along with my copilot). Haven't made it in a couple years, but gotta show off the new wheels to 200+ of my closest friends.

A few shots from 2015 Fall Colors Road Tour.
This is a total blast to do thanks to Jeff and Restoration Station!!!
Looking forward to another great drive with a couple of hundred plus fellow Corvette owners!

I seem to have missed a memo somewhere..... Appears you have gotten a new Vette... Did you get rid of the C5?

Hoping to make one of the leaf tours this year. My girlfriend and I went to the one in Zanesville last year. I see that one is Saturday and this one is Sunday

Awesome Keith looks great. Did you keep the C5? I always had a hard time getting rid of them. Finally down to just the C5 and the G8 myself.

Got rid of the C5. It wasn't hard at first, but the next morning when I went into the garage I thought it was stolen

I haven't been there in over a year myself!!

Did do BW3 wings the other day. Haven't even been to a car show this year. Been a busy year with work and girlfriend. I am about 2000 miles away from 200,000 miles on the Vette though

Jeff tells me the road course will be somewhat different; there's a lot of road construction and detours going on.

Dropped my 74' off at Jeff's shop this morning. Looks like he is going to have some fantastic cars for us enthusiasts to see. Lucky for me they are still churning the work out and my 74' is already back under cover in the garage at home. She won't make the trip this year but my C5Z will

Unfortunately, the weather is looking a little "iffy" for Sunday.
Hopefully they are wrong !!!

Yep; rain chance is just 20%... and only Sunday night.

We should be good; hope to shake hands with all of you.

A wonderful day, a great turnout (230 cars). Looking forward to next year and the 20th anniversary cruise. Here's the midpoint stop at Caesars Creek.
