Default Impromptu Drive with a twist

If you want an adventure:
Meet at the flagpole, Fontana Dam NC at 10:00am EST Sunday Oct 11. don't be late (pulling out by 10:20ish)!
(we've been told that the c7 Z06 overheats - any drivers thereof want to show the gossip wrong?)
All vettes, all years invited. Expecting a reasonable turnout.
THERE WILL BE OTHER MARQUES!

A convenient place to meet up for all the backroads that we shall drive that day. It should be a lot of fun, and a challenge for some...

What has that got to do with overheating. No way you can push the cars hard enough on back roads with inexperienced drivers to get them to overheat. Then put them all in a row.

As for driver experience if they don't have a fair amount of laps running around a track they are not experienced, not even a small amount.
