Hi Tom

Several of us from Mt Hood Corvettes are meeting at the Gee Creek rest area (just north of Vancouver on I-5 for those not familiar with it) around 7 am, leaving at 7:15 for the Bash

Love to have you along (and anyone else for that matter!)

FRS radio Channel 6.6 and/or CB Channel 37

Who is all meeting up at the rest stop? Same crowd as last year? I will remember to get gas this time before getting to you guys! I will try to make it to meet up with you guys. Its been hell this week and I am dead tired.

Are we going to park up with the rest of the Vettes this year?

We've had several last minute dropouts so it looks like they'll be 3 cars total from MHC at Gee creek. Two other cars are heading up earlier (yuck!) and will meet us there. They'll try to hold some spots for us.

I'm doing the NWACC show, you?

You mean the show and shine thingy? No I can't sit there and rub my car all day, or at least for several hours. But I have to check a customer car up in that area where they are all parked, and I didn't want to lug my laptop and tech2 all over the place. Figured it would be easier if they were to let me park near the rest of the Vettes.

Man, don't you EVER take a break?

Don't think they'll let you park there without being in (read that "paying to be in") the show & shine.

Well, if you make it we'll see ya in the morning (and you get to see my new paint job!)

Tom:

Len & I are leavening from Dick's Sporting Goods in Tualatin at 6:00 am and driving directly to Longview. Hope to be parked in the NWAC area by 7:30 in order to detail.

I preregistered and paid my dues but not particularly to be judged, I guess I could cough up a few more bux, don't really care about being judged and all that. I think they would do that

I will check out your new paint job, you can check out my new power plant

Yea, that happened to us a couple of times too! Think it was more the music level though!

Send your pics along so I can include 'em on the website!

Tom you really need to stay away from all the show and shine stuff. Portland has a track called PIR. It shows what your cars are really made of.

You should give it a try.
