WOW! What a Day! I am both overwhelmed and humbled to report that the final total for donations to the Chip Miller Charitable Fund was $868.00! Great job everyone! I can't thank you all enough. Really...

I'd like to give a special thanks to Tim Frees of Jack Evens Chevy, Iron 82 for helping out assembling the goody bags and parking, (we got 96 cars on the lot after the manager said there was room for 80...), JackDaRoofer for leading us out and about, Donnie & Judy for parking and carrying goody bag stuff to the event for us, Tony for helping with parking and planning, Chuck for helping with planning (get better quick Chuck!), and especially, Linda for doing pretty much all the things that I forgot to do and then some... I probably missed a few and I apologize in advance. This event has taken on a new life recently and it's just getting bigger and bigger. Of course, it wouldn't be an event at all without the participants so give yourselves a pat on the back!

The "official" count was 100 Corvettes and two "chase cars". From what I can tell, we all had a pretty good time. I'd like some feedback on the different cruise route and lunch stop. BTW, I honestly thought the restrooms were (both) open at Stony Man...

So, give me some feedback on the cruise and don't hold anything back! :eek:

Fall Skyline is October 30. See you then!

 

Sorry we missed it Jim :(

We were busy signing a contract on a new house!! :cheers:

:seeya

 

That looked like a lot of fun.
Great pic's!
Tim

 

Jim----My wife and I had a ball and lunch was really nice......you outdid yourself! Thanks to you and your dearest! Streetrod

 

This was my first car event of any kind as I've only had my Vette for 2 months.........but I was overwhelmed! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I got a few ideas for things to do to my car too!

The best part was the expressions on the faces of other drivers as the line of 100 went by. I saw a few that were trying to get out on the road or turn off that were looking a little perturbed tho! Oh well, they should buy a Vette.....

Thanks for putting this together. I will be back in the fall. Let's get 200!!!!!!

:D :steering: :seeya

 

Good job everyone for a great day :thumbs: Now we're looking for more vettes this fall cruise. See you there :D :party: :smiliedrool: :smiliedrool:


IRON 82 :auto: :steering:

 

Many thanks Jim, it was nice to see you again, I think this was the best cruise yet. Sorry had to leave, had another appointment that we had to get to late in the afternoon. I was great to see so many cars and so many nice people. See you later....

 

Ann and I had a geeat time. Already planning for the fall. We approve of the route change and the lunch spot. Really a shame some corvette magazine didn't get the picture of all of us parked out front on the grass. With each event more of us are coming up the night before and staying at the Quality Inn. Maybe a group rate can be negotiated. We found a great place for Friday night supper in nearby White Post. Thanks :iagree:

 

Thanks again everyone! It's nice to be able to catch up with friends made in the previous cruises.

 

Congrats! :cheers:

 

This cruise was WELL DONE! THANKS for all the hard work Jim! What a BLAST!
As always it is great to see everyone, and finally put faces with my new friends! SOmeone mentioned my exhaust was a touch loud - hope it did not offend :lol:

 

As I said to you at lunch, I liked the new route, lunch was great (good food, nice place, and what a bargin--10 bucks!). I wonder if it would have been better to split up the group into three or four? (As we did used to) That way, lunch would have been faster, without a line perhaps. If we could have eaten sooner, we probably would not have lost so many people after lunch.

All in all--a great time!! :yesnod:

You, and yours, did a great job again :cheers:

Thanks

 

Jim, I'm sorry I missed it, I really wanted to, but I had a problem with scheduling, hopefully in October I'll be able to make it.

 

Jim,
This was my first, but DEFINITELY not my last Skyline cruise!!! GREAT JOB, and thanks for all your efforts, along with everyone else involved. The route was great, as was lunch. And I think the lawn parking of all those Vettes in front of that beautiful inn made a perfect setting for a picture. Too bad my camera couldn't get them all in. Need a wider angle lens. If we do the same in October, I'll bring my 35mm camera with the wide-angle lens along with the digital cam.

Anybody else out there able to get a full pic of that? I'd LOVE to get a copy if you do.

Again, great job!

Also, I'd like to thank the Ratpack for graciously agreeing to let me tag along from Horne's Restaurant. It was great cruising with you. And with EVERYBODY out there!

Dave
