Maybe end of may, beginning of June. Good weather usually? Are you locked in to the GWB area? LI to GWB in a lowered C5Z,bound to lose parts?:lol: Maybe Staten Island?

I think June, July. Warm weather Definitely. I am coming from Queens so anyone in Long island can meet me their and we can meet everyone else in Elizabeth NJ.

:lurk:

I am down. Just can't do any holiday weekends nor should we it will be packed. I am thinking early June may be best, before school gets out and also not fully beach season yet... if its low or mid 70s and water is freezing not as many people once end of June hits.

Weekend before Memorial Day Weekend could be a good weekend too. Actually, that may be best since there won't be that much traffic and Virginia Beach is warmer than NYC/NJ area.

I want to do a Winston Salem N Carolina to Jersey Shore run. Anyone want to come down her and drive back?:cheers:

I am on Long Island and would be interested. I have a C7. I came across this event which seems to be what we would want to do. However this is for all vehicles not just Corvettes.

"ENTRY PRICE $900 PER PERSON"

lol

I thought that was funny to. Its public roads lol

I live in Virginia Beach. I cant participate (my C3 wont make that drive currently), but I do have a suggestion. Try to drive here on a Friday, and then Saturday morning go to the local Cars and Coffee (near the Oceanfront!).. So that would make your rally on the first Saturday of the month..
Best of luck! Hope you guys can do it! If you rally, ill surely meet you at your finish in my '78

You're not gonna do that ride in 6 hours as the map says, that's average 60 MPH. I used to do Naval Reserve time down in Norfolk and drove quite often from Queens, that's at least an 8 hour drive. And going down Rte. 13, while a nice ride it's slow, small towns and speed traps and lots of 35-45 MPH areas. And you want to come back on a Sunday, the New Jersey Tpke. in the summer CAN be a nightmare. Not tryin' to rain on your parade but I've been there and done that...good luck!

I used to have a 05 Daytona sunset. I took a picture in the same spot as you in your avatar. I live in that area.

:rofl:
buy a V1 Rader detector, Laser Jamers, then :steering::auto:..... you can do it under 4 hours :thumbs:

Hi neighbor, I guess great minds DO think alike, LOL. I'm from Nassau Co. but that's my go to place when I just gotta take a head-clearing ride somewhere, either with the bike or the Vette. What are you driving now?

IDK, those local cops down there aren't too accepting of us Yankees. I did it many times, I was stopped once and was able to talk my way out of a ticket using the Military card. It is a real nice ride though, when going to Florida I like it better then the 95 option, you just gotta take your time. :thumbs:

I maybe down for this as well. We live in south jersey, but make frequent trips to Hampton roads through the year, As I lived there for 10 yrs.

there is also a nice car show every Saturday at lanstown commons in Virginia Beach. More like a weekly Cruise in.

We usually stay in the Williamsburg area, and always wanted to take the vette down colonial parkway, between Yorktown and Jamestown. It’s a very relaxing drive through history.

And just a reminder, the cops in Virginia are pretty serious. Anything over 20mph is considered reckless driving, and since it looks like the easter shore route, the speed limit on those roads bounce from 25-55mph.

:iagree: AND no radar detectors allowed in Virginia!

I sold the c6 and bought a c7. Im in West Islip so its easy for me to cruise down there. I go down by Captree and OBI on Sundays. I go less and less each year tho because of the cops handing out tickets.

The tentative date is May 12-13. Its the weekend after Cinco de Mayo, before summer kicks in and hotel prices go up.

After playing around with dates and hotel prices the Sheraton Seems like a good option since its ocean front and has a Private garage with Free parking
