Invite all Corvette owners to the 1st Annual Big Corvette Roundup. Day long activities include a judged car show with trophies (45), optional 1 ½ hour long Fun Rally for an additional $15 per car, optional free slow drag race 1st and 2nd place trophies, door prizes, music & food, Corvette trivia questions throughout the day with cash prizes, goody bags, 50/50 and two full length feature films beginning at dusk with fireworks during intermission. There is an extra charge of $7 per person if you plan to stay for the movies. All Corvette Clubs are welcome to display their banners.
For additional information and registration form go to:
Bring a chair, a FM radio if you plan to watch the movie outside your car Becky’s transmits the audio on FM, bring a blanket it’s a little cooler in the evenings in the mountains .
DIRECTIONS FROM SOUTH OF ALLENTOWN
This route is not the shortest route as a matter of fact you will back track about 10 minutes but it is the quickest and you will avoid quite a few traffic signals, local traffic and small towns.
Take the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike Route 476 north. Take Exit 74 which is the first exit after you go through the one and only tunnel. After you pass the tollbooth keep left. You will come to a stop sign at the end of the ramp this will be Route 209 turn right at the stop sign. After 1 3/4 miles on route 209 you will turn left onto route 248. Stay on route 248 for about 10 miles Becky's will be on the left.

Yep there are actually 2 Drive-In Theatres in that area both with 15 miles of each other. Our club tries to make at least 2 trips there it's a 1 hour haul but worth it. They hold 750 plus cars and fill up every weekend. The nice thing is that they tranmits the audio over an FM signal. This way you can either sit in your car with your radio or sit outside as a group with a boombox.

Sounds like a great way to spend a summer night with good friends.
I'm old enough to remember the Drive-In movies that no longer exist.
Tring to watch a movie from the back seat.....yeah, right.
The speaker that was put in the window that if you forgot to remove it........oh boy.

I've never been to a drive-in. Most around here closed by the time I was a teenager. That would be really cool, to see 100+ corvettes at a drive-in, all parked together.
