Surely they could schedule them in blocks, like 100 per hour?

It takes alot of caffeine/motivation for me to be fully functioning and anywhere at 5am ...

That's the info I have. The Tulsa Vette Set has a meeting Sunday to go over our plans for this final "Vette's and Jet's on the Lex." I'll post any new info learned. Otherwise, I would expect any updates on the 10 Sept. loading to be available at the 9 Sept. check-in in Corpus Christi.

Update: Loading the Corvettes will be 5:00 AM, Saturday, 10 September. The only exception will be an exclusive few of the cars loaded late on the 9th for specific people that have volunteered to aide in the parking of the other 99% on Sat morning.

Never eaten at a Rudy's but I sure hope what they serve in the restaurants is far better and more reasonable quantity that what was served last night. I know its hard to serve 600 folks but being in the catering business I know what it takes and serving a single slice of brisket and a 1.5 inch piece of sausage as they were running out of food and COLD to boot is a pretty pathetic effort for the Rudy's catering group. They had NO provisions for keeping food at proper serving temps and brought insufficient food to serve a normal dinner portion to 600 persons.

The event as a whole has be VERY well run. The comedy show was hilarious, laughed a lot.

Steve Trevino was a riot!! We got our photo taken with him!
Everyone laughed the whole time!! Hilarious!!
Knowing he had a mature crowd, he did not hold back!!

We parked near the yellow WW2 plane so we can maybe see our car better by Lanmon aerial photography .

Cheerio, Zale
