Default October Vette cruise

I was thinking we could all meet at the Cracker Barrell at Exit 8 on I-4 (about 1/4 mile east of I-75). I know we want to get there early - what time sounds good to you guys?? 6:30 or 7:00? There are two places to eat breakfast in that parking lot, Cracker Barrell and Country Kettle, and plenty of parking. Give me some feedback and we will define a firm leave time.

Lonnie :cool: :chevy

I just called cracker Barrell, they open for breakfast at 6:00 am, and said there is not usually a wait until after 8:00 am. There should be no problem getting on the road in time!

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
