Re: Vetting there is half the fun!!! (71 blacktip)
They don't let any vettes in until 10:00, and no shops open until 10:00. We have always arrived between 9:00 and 10:00 and gotten good spots, AWAY from the vendors and Dyno machine (which leads to congestion around your car, and no relaxation or conversation!!). We'll get there much earlier this year, the only people ahead of us will be those that spent the night (and they won't have had good breakfasts!). :cool: :chevy

Re: Vetting there is half the fun!!! (Mean Green 2000)
I see they are opening the gates at 9:00 this year, but I still think we'll get there in plenty of time. It is only 30 minutes from Cracker Barrell.
By the way, a hint for "first timers" - if you want an event T-shirt have cash in hand as you drive through the gate. They sell the shirts as you drive by the first corner, and are usually out of them if you try to go back later and get one-
We'll see you next Saturday!!!

Re: October Vette cruise (Mean Green 2000)
From the Brandon group there should be about 6-8 of us to meet at Cracker Barrel. Most of us are meeting for breakfast. Hopefully we will all be able to leave by 7:30am. If someone thinks they might be a little late, just send me an email a69_vette@hotmail.com and I'll give you my cell phone number.
1 week to go. CAN'T WAIT!!
See you all,
Rick
