Some don't like to search, so I thought I would post these up as inspiration:

Cool. I spotted my car in the drone footage in the second video, at the Caesar Creek rest stop.

Jeff is preparing for 400 Corvettes this year; mainly due to this event now being listed on the Corvette Museums web page...

I'm planning on it. But with 400 cars, it becomes almost unmanageable.

GRipp 73 10-07-2019 07:15 PM

Whoa! 400 Corvettes on a road tour? That would really be something to see, But that does sound like a lot to try and handle.

Safe Travels

the initial parking situation is fine; room for 500+ cars in that industrial park I'd imagine.

Interesting that only about 80% leave at 2pm with the tour group. In the past I did not leave with the tour and was surprised at how many did not go. And at the halfway point... seems about 50% go home from there... and do not end up back at Jeffs shop.

Keep fingers crossed for dry weather !

I'll be there

Living right here in their backyard in Springboro, I have admired the Corvette event from afar; now that I'm finally a Corvette owner, it would take a team of wild horses to keep me from going!

LemansBlueStingray 10-12-2019 11:42 PM

Dad and I will be there as usual. Look forward to seeing you Tim as it seems like an annual tradition now!

Daypoblue 10-14-2019 08:19 AM

I will be there ~ Bright & Early....

A little too far for me to get to springboro but if anyone talks to Jeff I have a quick funny story -

He restored a frame and pretty much made it a complete rolling chassis for me somewhere in 2007-2008. He never saw the car it was meant for.

Fast forward to 2014-15. I'm getting gas in my now completely restored corvette 85 miles from springboro and the young lady on the other side of the pump says nice car, I love corvettes. My dad works on them. He has a shop in springboro.

A little more background from Barry. Love it.

I am still planning on heading down that way on Sunday after church. I got some new belts on, and fixed the low idle speed, but in doing so my cold air flapper in the hood no longer opens at full throttle. I think I may have adjusted something to far out and now need to adjust the flapper setting. Not a big deal as I don't really go full throttle, but I used to check it when I would give it gas to fire up. Last thing I want to try and fix on Saturday before the cruise is it is running a bit rich. I need to lean it out just a bit so I don't make the people behind me smell the fuel dumping the entire time. Other than that, it will be the normal check fluids, tire pressure, lights, and off we go.

Safe Travels Everyone!

I really cant trust my C2 making the trip and getting back home. But this tour is one reason I will probably buy a 2021 C8.

Ok, I will also have some tools (normal wrenches, a few sockets, a screwdriver or two, etc....) just in case. All part of the fun :cool:

If you want, I would be happy to drive your beautiful Sweet Silver Corvette for you :rock:
I'd even bring it back with a full tank :lol:

Mike Mercury 10-18-2019 09:11 AM

weather forecast looks fantastic !


iw172 10-18-2019 04:31 PM
