Default Hello from Funfest

Hey guys...great weather here in Effingham. No pics, as I'm on a very miserable hotel dialup connection and can't easily upload to my server this way.

For all you coming tomorrow or Sunday, just wanted to post an update concerning forum member entry to the show.

The guy at the end of the field (general entrance) will direct you to pull in there. DON"T. Stay on the road and continue to Gate 2. There will be a parking official at that gate, which is mostly blocked off, just tell him/her you're with the forum, and they'll let you drive in and get back to our area.
The forum sticker "identification" turned out to be a non-issue, and anyone just stating they're with the forum can easily get in this way, as long as you know where you're supposed to be going beforehand.

The only negative of our area, is that it's at the very back of the grounds behind the food court and isn't too well-travelled. There are other prominent displays surrounding our area, most notibly Mallett and a car houler full of new C6's. Despite the remote location, I still think it's better than getting lost in the sea of many thousands of Vettes in the general parking field. The were only about 20 or so forum members here today parked back there, but I know tomorrow our area will fill in nicely, and perhaps draw some more attention.

See many of you guys tomorrow, this is a great show!
