[XfireZ51]

Frank,

If I was back on the East coast I'd be up there. Mystic is a great place and a nice ride. Take the Merritt Pkwy and then to the coast. :dancing

[RICKYRJ1]

I will check the calender and meet you up there. Maybe we can get some more of the local Z brothers to join us :thumbsup:

Would love to meet up with the WAZOO Crew on the way up! We have room for folks who might want to crash for the night after the show on the way home. Location is just about 90 miles south of Mystic in CT near the NY border. Dave, Ricky, Phil, and Jim should know the way...

[Mystic ZR-1]

Guys, look me up when you when you get to Mystic. My club "For Covettes Only" puts on the event. Email me if you need any info on hotels/restaurants/local attractions etc or which slot machines are hot @ Foxwood (5 miles away...), dmarshall2003@comcast.net. We historically get over 250 Vettes! It's a glorified Vette cruise-in not a judged show, you don't even have to wipe off the bugs that got splattered on your windshield @ 180mph if you don't want to! Big John will be there with his '95 Callaway LM ZR-1, this car was on display @ the NCM last year, he drives it regularly!

That's my kind of show! Looking forward to it - I think the WAZOO guys are planning to attend, so we should have a nice ZR1 showing.

[tomtom72]

May I join the caravan? I'll see if I can convince Lou ( louispf ) from Norwalk to join in the fun also.

This should be a great time! :dancing

Absolutely! Will you be coming up the Merritt from Norwalk or trying to take I-95? We can arrange an easy meeting place along the route.

We're thinking about a little BBQ for Z-Brothers post-event. You are most welcome to join if interested.

Scott

[FU]

We should be taking the Orient Point-New London Ferry depending on the schedule.

[tomtom72]

:hello: Scott,

I'm coming from the NYS CT border near Portchester. My Z brother, Lou lives in Norwalk so if I can convince him to join us I suppose we would use 7 east to 95 from Norwalk.

In any event I'll post up here and if it's just me I'll meet you guys anywhere you say.

:cheers:
Tom

:hello: Frank!

[94Admiral]

Tom -

If you are coming in from Portchester to Norwalk, I'm guessing you will do I-95? We could meet up along I-95 at one of the gas station/rest stops then caravan to Mystic.

Maybe meet at 9:00 AM at the north-bound mile marker 41 McDonalds on I-95?

What think?

Scott

[tomtom72]

Scott, sounds good to me. I figure if I am flying solo I'll shoot up 95 to that mickey D's.

If Lou is joining us, I will shoot up the Merritt to his house. His house is out by the Merritt. In that case I figure to use 7 to 95. We should be good for an intercept at the same Mickey D's, right? I'm sure Lou will know if 7 to 95 is a good course to meet up with you.

In any event I'll stay tuned to this thread.

:cheers:
Tom

[94Admiral]

Tom,

Picking up I-95 at route 7 and heading north is still good for the Mickey D's at MM 41.

If the WAZOO guys can make it around 9:00 - 9:30 we could easily be in Mystic before the 11:00 AM start.


I'll check with David and keep this post updated to be sure we are on the same page. Thx.

Scott

[QB93Z]

I will be coming to Mystic for the Show. It is great to see so many ZR-1 guys planning on coming.

Hello everyone.
I recently purchased a 1990 ZR-1. Had some teething pains but it is now running strong.
I'd like to join up with the caravan traveling to Mystic.
I'm out of Bethany and am close to Rt. 15 and I-95.
This sounds to be a pretty good time.

Hello and welcome to the ZR-1 Net Registry Forum. I am glad to hear that you will be joining us at Mystic.

The WAZOO group that I am traveling with will be coming from Maryland and then from NJ on Sunday morning. I don't know our exact route yet.

Jim

[94Admiral]

Welcome!!! Glad to have another Z-brother in CT. Please join us on the cruise to Mystic. Several ZR-1's will be meeting the WAZOO group at MM 41 on I-95 Northbound at the McDonalds. Current plans are to meet around 9:00....still waiting for them to firm up the time after leaving Ricky's house in NJ. You are welcome to join us at my house afterwards for a cookout. FYI, I live in Newtown, CT - about 30 minutes from you.

Thanks for the welcome Z-brothers.
Looking forward to Sunday.
Just let me know what time you are meeting and the closest exit.

[94Admiral]

Wazoo Crew -

Vettes in the Village starts at 11:00 AM. MM 41 on I-95 in CT is about 1 hour from Mystic. Can you guys be there around 9:30 AM? That should give us plenty of time. Also, would love to get a head count for the cookout after (I want to figure out how many cows to marinate!!). Thx.

Working on it Scott...

Try to give you a firm number tomorrow!


Thanks!

Thanks for inviting us Scott. I will be there.

Can you give an exit number or other GPS compatible landmark other than MM 41?

Thanks, Jim

[louispf]

Pretty sure I will be able to join in. I live in Norwalk, Ct., between I95 & CT15(Merritt Prkwy). It less then 2 miles to cut over here to 15N. We can take 15N to Milford, Ct. & then cut back over to 95N (less then 2 miles). 15N is a much nicer driving road & bypasses one of the worst sections of (25 miles) of 95N. If you want we can hook up @ my house which is right off rt. 7 & on the way. Lou

No problem.

MM41 is between Exits 53 and 54 on northbound I-95. Near Branford, CT.

[FU]

What time is everyone getting there ? Will we be put with the other ZR1's ? We have to figure out what ferry to take out of Orient to get there on time , and home.
We will be taking the white car (ugly , red headed step child) .

[94Admiral]

Lou -

If you want to catch up with us after the show, you are welcome to join us for a cookout in Newtown. Should be about a 40 minute drive from your house. PM me if interested and I'll send you the details. Probably start around 5:45.

[94Admiral]

What a great show. Many thanks to Doug Marshall and For Corvettes Only for all the hard work. I believe there were some 350 Corvettes there, including 17 ZR-1s! Dave Johnson is a Rock Star and has the "best of the best" trophy to prove it! I think Tom picked up some hardware as well.....rumor has it he traded the trophy for a slice of Mystic Pizza........

[Rex Ruby]

Let's see some pictures!

[ZZZZZR1]

Doug....

Great event and well worth the drive! Thanks for giving us some great parking spots and couldn't believe the attention our cars were getting there!!!!

Scott,

Thanks for your incredible hospitality... Great night and look forward to it next year!

Over 900 miles in 3 day's :wink:


David

[Mystic ZR-1]

The members of "For Corvettes Only" and I would like to sincerely thank all you guys in the "brotherhood" for showing up at Vettes in the Village in Mystic! I hope you all had a good time, I know I did! It was great to see you all again! Having that many ZR-1s there was a real treat that wasn't missed by all the other attendees! We're still figuring things out, but we know for sure we had well over 300 Vettes there, the biggest one yet! Next year 400? I think Tom Tom had an anchovy and pineapple pizza from Mystic Pizza, hope he made it back to NY without having to stop a few times...
Thanks again,
Doug and "For Corvettes Only"

[QB93Z]

Hi John, Thanks for hosting the Northbound pit stop for the WAZOO crew from Maryland.

Thanks to Doug and the For Corvettes Only for putting on a very nice Corvette Show. It was well attended and all of the hard work by you guys to make it happen was obvious.

I counted 17 ZR-1's. They all looked great and thanks to Doug and David some of us were parked front and center at the entrance so were got a lot of attention.

We met three owners for the first time and encouraged them to check out the Forum and to join the Registry.

Here are some pictures that I took:

Yes, the boys from CT sure did roll out the red carpet for the Z Brothers! :handshak:Thanks Doug, I think it's safe to say that you can count on some ZR-1's returning for next year's show!

It was good to see you again. Congratulations on your Trophy, your car looked great.
