Default Corvette Expo

A sure sign of spring.
This spring the auction is scheduled to have any previously owned vehicle included. There are already several latemodels listed and updates are coming daily. It'll be ineresting to watch the market as it unfolds before our eyes this March 28th at 11:00 AM.

I help Byron with his web site so if I can answer any questions, let me know.

The ETCC car show will be on 3 May.
They'll have the silent auction again.
All proceeds going to Angel tree. The club got Christmas presents for over 90 kids last year.

had a blast in the fall and will be coming up from Florida for the entire weekend. the only issues I had in the fall was the lack of Corvette only parking (had to park in a dirt lot), and the fact that so many people got split up/lost on the cruise. It appears that the parking issue is resolved, hopefully the cruise will be good.......as well as the weather. Can't wait!!

It's tough to keep a couple hundred Vettes bumper to bumper on a cruise. We try to keep it simple, however with all the traffic in that area, we tend to lose a few. This spring the cruise will be on a familiar route around the lake (There sould be water in the lake this year)

I might try to make it up there this year. Since my birthday is the 27th, I'm sure I'll get in free right?

We just ran the spring cruise route and here is a link to the directions,
http://www.corvetteexpo.com/spring_2...ruise_nigh.htm

Hopefully I can run it again this week to make sure the directions are as accurate as I think they are. We've done most of this route before, but added a slightly new twist. This year we will not be ending at Volunteer Chevrolet (the economy don'tcha know?), but we will end at a new restaurant "New Orleans on the river". Everyone will be on their own for dinner this year, but the owner says he'll offer up a special for the participants. The view from the parking lot is worth the trip.

The Auction is shaping up nicely with the addition of later model cars. Previously, only 25 year old cars could be sold, now any "pre titled" special interest car can be sold.

The vendor list is also shaping up very nicely, with the usual sellers already signed up.

The ETCC will have a table to greet our friends, and plans are to have a for sale table for members assisting them in cleaning out their garage. Please stop by to see us at our table or say 'hi' to us as many members help drive cars at the auction.
