Default {MC} Mountain Run For Fun {MC}

Hi
Metrolina Corvette Club is going to be running around the mountains agan, on Saturday May 16th and you know how fun that can be. This will be a fairly long run so we are going to get an early start. We are meeting at the visitor's center in Belmont just off the Belmont Abby exit at 9am I know it's early but it will be worth it. We will be stopping in Brevard for a pic-nick lunch so pack a bunch of goodies and drinks.

As of today the weather is looking good and I have been doing the ANTI-RAIN dance all week so we should be ok and dry too

Please bring your raidos and cameras and if you need any more information please use the link below to visit our website where the flier is posted in the UPCOMING EVENTS Page. If you not a member come on out anyway you will want to be one after this run.

Thanks an I hope to see ALL of my corvette driving buddies this weekend.

Good thing you're meeting early - it's graduation at Belmont Abbey College on Saturday morning and the roads and area lots are bound to be filled with cars of out-of-towners, parents, grand-ps, moving vans, etc

And I too am doing the anti-rain two step here at my desk for Saturday!

I can't wait!!

It's been awhile since we've hit the mountains for a good white knuckle day of driving (safely). This is going to be loads of fun. I expect that we may have some new faces joining us for this day, inquiring minds have been, well, inquiring.

See everyone on Saturday!!

Mountain runs are our best events, especially if you like driving your Vette. Make sure you check your tire pressures and brake fluid. You'll know why after running on some of those wonderful roads. Sad for me, I have to work and will miss my favorite time with our club.

Check your clutch fluid also, before and after. Y'all have fun, I'll be at work.

Didn't you buy the Z so you could have a dependable driver for the purpose of going on these runs?

Sorry folks, a rainy forecast has caused this event to be

CANCELLED

We'll postpone it and set a new date for sometime in June or July.
