Default [EVENT] Fall Skyline Oct 30, 2004

Just a preliminary note to get the date out...

Saturday, October 30, 2004.

Meet at the Jack Evans Chevy used car lot on Commerce Ave., Front Royal, VA.

We'll probably begin registration at 8:30 AM so that we can keep things moving as quickly as we can.

Registration is $10.00 per car or a new, unwrapped toy. (No stuffed animals please.) All registration proceeds and donations to benefit the local Toys for Tots group.

Lunch at Brookside.

Andy Bolig of Corvette Enthusiast Magazine will be on hand shooting pictures and looking for feature stories...

More info to follow.

Mark your calendars!

I'll be there, not like last spring.

I made a run over there last Saturday. Did you know you can get a speeding ticket from making noise in the tunnel? If you have the bad luck to do it when a cop is about to enter the tunnel from the other side you can. 35 mile limit through the tunnel, radar enforced.

I spoke with Brookside yesterday. They are very excited to have us back. I mentioned having them do an outside BBQ like they suggested for the spring and they are all for it. I'll have the menu and prices soon. I also mentioned that we need a couple of porta johns... BTW, the dining room will also be available to us so those that do not want to BBQ outside can go in and sit.

We're going to do something a little different this year which will involve us caravaning into the park and to the first overlook as one group. More details to follow...

Likely we will repeat our cruises from Tidewater to this event!

Since Route 17 seems to be the most direct route, we usually meet on Route 17 in gloucester point, around 5:30 am. That puts us in Fredericksburg for gas and breakfast between 7 and 7:30. From there we can make the Skyline start at 9:30

Folks from Richmond can catch up with us or, us with them, in Fredericksburg at the BK on Route 1
