Looks like a nice day for a cruise down the river road with the top down. Add two more to the party.

I think we drank 2-3 pallets of water that day. I am honestly surprised to this day that no one had a serious medical problem that day. I think Richie was there because he worked there at that time. Anyone else remember this?
Good memory. That was one of my original car shows we started hosting with the local Corvette clubs and the day that Carrie and I first met in person.

I will never forget how damn hot it was and I think that still stands as the hottest July day in history for Fairfield. I remember taking a temp gun out to the pavement and it was 145* on the black top.


** We're up to 289 registrations as of this morning so we will have a packed house this year!**

Change of plans I will be there to pass out Sonoma Magic flyers.

I will also have a few free items to pass out. Anyone need a set of C4 GS rotors, a set of side markers lenses for a C6, nice C6 floor mats, a fu fu (actually it's nice but not my style) C6 steering wheel cover, a stock 2013 ZR1 throttle body, C6 carpeting and interior panels for use with a harness bar? Not taking orders just look for the Red (357) ZR1.

Grey colored shirts with a pic of my car. They are similar to the flyer we posted for this year's event.

I will probably check it out. Won't be bringing the Corvette, but should be fun to see all the cars.
