There's a few CNY guys on the forum. I've seen quite a few from the 'cuse, and a handful in rochester and utica. I am about 2 hours or so east of you but if we ever get an upstate cruise into lake george or a run to lake placid I'll let you know .

Bumpage...

South Bristol here. About 55 minutes south of Rochester. Yeah, I know, a Vette on dirt roads, oh well. I grew up in Rochester and Webster. I'm usually back up evry week or two. The Vette comes with me early April until November. Look for the idiot in the slightly lowered yellow C5 vert.

Quite a few Vettes from our area meet up for the opening day of Watkin's Glen. RCC usually meets around 9AM at the Wegman's in Canandaigua. Nice, scenic, "spirited" ride to the Glen from there. Then it's something like $10 for 3 paced laps. The money goes to charity. You'll see all kinds of cars show up at the track. Vettes, Vipers, Elise's,antiques, Mom's wagon.....

Syracuse here, We did the Vettes on the Lake deal at Sylvan Beach last year. East end of Oneida Lake. Over 500 cars there all generations and degree of mods. Good way to spend an afternoon and get some ideas. Not sure of the date this year. Definitely a good time.

Actually, I'm too old for that place. Too sorry of a picture- balding 43 year old in a Vette oggling girls his daughters age. Way too cliché.

You name the time and place and I'll do my best to meet a fellow CF member. If you don't mind driving your Vette on a short dirt road, I might even cook you a burger myself.
