The reason is that I am promoting the 2019 Corvette Caravan and have flyers, cards and a 2'X3' board displaying the route and it would be nice to put that next to my car. Let me know if you can make that happen.

Thanks.

Excellent map!

Suggestion:

If people are coming in from Woodinville. The easy and nice way is to come in from Woodinville on SR 202 and that route comes straight into RTC and becomes NE 164th. Straight shot plus coming via SR 202 one drives past all the wineries in Woodinville.... just sayin'

People coming from the south take SR 520 East (either from 405 or I-5) and the best exit is West Lake Sammamish Parkway. Left and the exit light and right on Leary Way and then follow the map.

Correct it is a straight shot but there are more lights in a shorter span on that route which may create more breaks in the group and there will likely be a lot of car and foot traffic at the last intersection (NE 74th St.) with "hypercars" entering the center of the mall I would prefer not to get mixed up with. That's why I'm suggesting we go around.

Sorry, we don't allow advertising or boards of any kind at the show (actually, RTC doesn't).

Assuming decent weather, I will head in as well.

I can join the meetup at costco, since that is about a 2 minute drive from where I live.

Default This is getting to be a big deal, huh?

Forgive me for even bringing this up, but I'm curious.

No doubt as such informal events go, this has to be one of the finest. I have certainly enjoyed it

As I say though, I'm curious if the Redmond Town Center (corporate for lack of a better term) organization is benefitting from this event? I hope so. Since we have a new season of events upon us, but I don't notice any new stores opening and wonder if we're just a bunch of car guys showing up enjoying each other's intersts and the retailers - other than Starbucks, gaining any benefit as a result of this gathering?

It's wonderful that the Center allows us the space. but are thy gaining any benefit from it?

I'm not trying to toss a wet towel on any of this. I'm just curious.

Well, I know my wife and I will be going shopping opening day, and it brings a crowd to RTC everytime. I am quite sure some of those people are going to area resteraunts, and the shopping center as well. Clearly we don't have any data on it though :/ If it was detrimental to the surrounding businesses, it would have closed by now, so it has to be doing something for the area, right?

Might get a few folks following our group just to see what's going on with all of our non-qualifying Corvettes!

Looking at the extended forecast does not bode well for April 1'st. Keep an eye on the weather. 30% chance of rain, and they cancel the show.
