Yes. Its right off Telegraph exit next to the movie theater.

206 Swamp Fox Rd, Alexandria, VA (Movie Theater).

I believe we'll be leaving from Starbucks at 0700 to make it out to Centerville at 0730-0745.

Let me know if you are going to meet up and I'll shoot you my cell phone #

Hang in there buddy! We'll have to plan a summer Skyline run or something...
I started my car up in the garage yesterday to show off to my brother-in-law. It still gives me the same old thrill just to hear it exlode to life!!!!

But I won't be able to make it Saturday even in the backup. Hi to everyone and I'll work like mad to make the fall run. Have fun and appreciate every good day you are given.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. This will be my first Skyline event in many years. Like since the C5 went up the hill at Brookside. Let's all be safe this year!

Thanks to Val and Andy and Jim and everybody who

Here are some more pics from the cruise.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take as many pics of cars in motion but there are a few and there here for you to enjoy.

Thanks to the SVCC and Jim S. for all their hard work. The weather wasn't perfect but we didn't get rained on (you can thank me, I didn't wash my car last night.)

Looking forward to seeing you all in the fall.

Hi All!
Thanks so much for everyone's support for Blue Ridge Hospice, and for coming out yesterday. We had a couple of snafus (like some of you getting and extra trip on 211) but I hope all in all you had a great time and enjoyed all the cars! I'll let Jim make the final announcement with the total $$'s raised once I get him the amount from T-shirt money, but we had about 143 Vettes and, I think 8 or 10 GTO's. Kudos to all of you! We're thinking of incorporating a winery into next year's spring event. If you have any suggestions, or critisizm, please feel free to email me at svcorvetteclub@yahoo.com
You people ROCK!
Val
