Thanks Andy & Alina for a fantastic weekend! We've been doing Corvette events & road trips for 20 years and this one ranks right at the top of the list.

If you love road trips and Corvette gatherings, then you need to add Corvettes@Biltmore, and a run on the Dragon, to your MUST DO list...

Andy and Alina,

I know the entire group from Florida had a FANTASTIC time. Thanks for putting this together and inviting us all.

It was a pleasure following you on "The Dragon".

Jeff

Default Thanks Alina & Andy

Thanks for the great time in Asheville. This was way beyond expectations. Anytime 70 Vettes are together in one place has to be great. We had a great Blue Ridge Pkwy ride back to NY.. Hope to be able to do it again next year.

It was good to see both of you again.... October 05 on the Dragon was a blast. Didn't do the Dragon this year. Went down and drove the Cherohala Skyway instead, nothing but motorcycles and the wind

yeah we just didn't have the time to make any side trips...maybe next year.

Speaking of next year if we can schedule this event the same time next year we can probably make it. The previous years CATB was on top of UCP our clubs big show so we haven't been able to attend.

I agree with the same weekend, the weather was great and with the fall foliage, it was a fun trip. Hopefully Andy can make it happen.

Andy and Alina,

Sheryl and I had a great time, thank you so much for all you did to put this together. It was fun and a much needed vacation. I loved watching Sheryl turn green while I let loose on the Dragon's Tail

Can a C3 join in with the group this year? We live 40 mins from Asheville. That sounds like a lot of fun!
