I just made it into the garage before it came down at my house.


Saturday weather is looking better than it did in the early part of the week.

Thanks Tom. Actually I will be there. I've got a paying photo gig to shoot for an online magazine. My 3rd year in doing so. The magazine isn't Corvette savvy but I've managed to get a couple in so I'll stop by but keep a low profile.

Okay, any changes to our plan? Where is our spot to show? Infield? Are we bringing canopies?

No more rain dances please.

No change of plans. We have been moved from infield to covered area which may not be all bad IF weather moves in.

Looks like you guys are going to be ok with the weather. Maybe a stray shower, but hey it's Spring in the south.

I get there on Thursday and leave on Saturday afternoon. Last year was no different so I didn't see the hail. I'm always selling a car so the car show is not a big interest.... Hope the weather stays nice. Today was awesome!

Please define "covered area" Are we going to be behind the bleachers at the entrance gates with the all the rice? Or under the covered area near the paved stuff just outside the infield?

Can someone give me an address for the auto fair, particularly one that will get me closest to the other corvettes (or Corvetteforum peeps)?

I see gate 2A is where marathon is going, but I have no idea where that would be. I'm coming from Columbia, SC.

:EDIT:

Or circle where on this map:

Sucks that we (Metrolina Corvettes) had to be under that covered area away from most of the crowds, but at least it was nice and cool up there!

And a BIG thanks to you guys (Metrolina Corvettes) for reserving a spot for me! Sorry that we weren't there long..
