Default I need some advice!

We've decided on most of the details for our Poker Run this April. It is going to be a lot of fun and all proceedes will be going to the Chip Miller Foundation.

Here's my question...we're either going to have the Run on Satuday April 2nd or Saturday April 9th. Are there any major shows on one of those dates that I shouldn't use?

I want to have it in early April since the NCRS is having a huge Corvette show in Atlantic City Memorial Day weekend and I don't want to have the events too close together.

All advice is appreciated!

Dave,
April 2 is an ECS Corvette challange day at English town, along with the Vette Doctors pro 8 shootout. They usually draw a fairly large crowd. I dont know how much it would effect your day but I thought I'd let you know.

I would avoid doing it on a ECS CC day. Other than that Poker Runs can be a blast. We've done several in this area. If you need any help let me know. I'll email you rules we've used to help you with ideas.

OK, then April 9th it is. That would be great if you could email the rules you used so I can compare and look for better ideas.

For those of you who don't know what a Poker Run is, you will soon find out! Let's just say it involves 2 of the best things a Corvette owner can do...drive their vette to a bunch of different locations and get together to show off your ride to other vette owners!
