Weather still looks mostly good. As of now some showers may move in during Friday evening - hopefully after the cruise down the Dragon.

Yesterday it was 70 and sunny. Today 2 inches of snow and temperatures in the teens. I think Mother Nature is off her meds.

Same here in EKY; 70 yesterday and 8 inches this morning. Mother nature needs to find her a man and quit taking it out on everyone else haha.

A friend of mine was able to close the deal on his first Vette today so we'll be driving our C6s down.

We are going with a group from our Corvette club in Hendersonville North Carolina. Looking forward to it. Check us out Apple country Corvette club. Anyone in Western North Carolina should check us out we do lots of cruises get togethers and club meetings.

This will be my first time going to the Corvette expo can't wait.

Local here and going today and tomorrow. Weather should be clear in time for the cruise. It's going to rain for a few hours, starting about 11-12 though.

Rain is over and the sun is out! Perfect for a cruise through the Dragon.

The Dragon was great as always! But Lord have mercy I didn't realize how much time the Foothills Parkway cut off that trip. The detour sure was something.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank Mr. D (he was parked next to me with his very rare & PRISTINE Carbon 65 C7 Z06), as well as Mr. N & Ms. R, who we ended up having dinner with later Fri evening. Y'all made the drive up from Atlanta well worth it just to meet you fine folks & get a chance to hear your stories. Thank you so much for your time.

A special mention to Mr. D - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye after my wife, our dog and I headed off to grab a Kilbasa on the golf-cart, but if you read this, It was entirely my pleasure to bend your ear (most of which was in the rain & wind), but I appreciated the time you spent with me immensely.... Again, making the drive up from Atlanta well worth the opportunity to speak to such a kind and knowledgeable gentleman.

Best Regards,
Greg

The turnout today was incredible. It was a pleasure meeting @leebay and seeing his pristine C6! My friend I parked next to the nicest couple from Alabama in their black rose C7 M7 Z51. We talked and laughed a lot today. I love being a part of this community with such great people.

Also posted my personal best on the G meter going down the Dragon. I don't think I'll be able to beat 1.3g but quitters never win

This year's show was something. If you missed it you missed a great bunch of people and seeing some awesome cars. I think this was one of the best Corvette Expos over the last few years.

Looks like a pretty good turnout. Hopefully everyone had a good time. More pics would be great to see.

Probably not what you're looking for, but I can add a pic of my wife and pooch in front of our Z06 & some quick shots I did for Mr. Nick & his GS that was parked beside me if it helps ...
