Looking forward to it!!! This is a GREAT show!!!

All ZR-1 brothers are invited to my house for a cookout after the show. I live about 1 hour towards NY from Mystic...this is great for our Burgerittoville/Heavenly Donuts/NY/WAZOO crew...probably a logistical issue for MA and RI though, sorry.

Please post up or PM me if you can make it. Also, we can handle some overnighters as well. Just let me know!!!

I'll post up directions/more info later this week....

[andersra]

I plan to be there. I haven't really done anything about getting brake lines or anything else for a maintenance day, but the offer was surely appreciated. Is anyone from our group meeting up for the drive?

[Mystic ZR-1]

We've got tentative "I'll be theres" from a dozen ZR-1s for "Vettes in the Village" this Sunday!!!!!!!!!!! The weather forecast is for sunny with a few clouds and 65 degrees!

Last year we had over 300 Vettes in attendence at this non-judged Vettes only gathering!

Thanks for your support!
This event allows our club to make some "serious" donations to several local charities as well as the NCM!
Doug :cheers:

Tom Tom: Please wear shoes...

[Michael Beal]

No Koi fishing allowed!!! (you could probably catch some with your hands...they are pretty friendly)

If you want to have some fish on the grill, I'll need to get it ahead of time from the local Stop and Shop!!!!

[andersra]

Where are the Beast Owners of the Northeast Region meeting up?

[94Admiral]

Bob -

Still working on it....stay tuned.

Partly depends on when the WAZOO guys head North.....

What say ye, WAZOO brothers???

[Mystic ZR-1]

Scott,
Did you get my response to your "private message"???
I don't have a warm feeling it went thru
Doug
call if you

[94Admiral]

Tom -

You in for this event? How about Lou?

I think John is coming down from Albany...

There is construction at the rest areas on I-95...any thoughts on a good meeting spot?

Scott

[ZRapid-1]

I'll be there with my 1990.

The weather forecast looks OK. Rain on Saturday followed by a cold front.
Sunday will be somewhat cold and windy - but dry.

For a meeting place, the rest stop between exits 53 and 54 on Rt. 95 worked out good last year. However, I am not aware of whether there is any construction going on this year. There was another Corvette club also meeting there last year - so a good collection of 'vettes.

[andersra]

What time? Also, the Chowder Pot in Branford is just off of 95. (Can't remember which exit number). That might work if you don't want to risk construction in the rest area.

[94Admiral]

Chowder Pot is at Exit 56 off I-95....want to plan to meet there at 8:45 and be on the road before 9:00?

[tomtom72]

Scott, I'm "IN" ;)

Lou maybe in. He just got back from Vermont to see what's up with his house up there after Irene. He came back with some kind of virus and is not feeling that chipper.....he is a maybe as of last night.

:cheers:
Tom

Hey what's up with this weather? 40% rain for tomorrow!

[94Admiral]

Tom -

Sounds good. Weather looks to be decent with a small chance of rain between 8:00 Am and 3:00 PM...

I am capable of grilling (and drinking) in the rain!

:saluting: speaking for myself only, I will plan on being at Exit 56 about 8-8:15 AM if I'm flying solo. If Lou calls me & is feeling up to it I'll drag him to the meet point also.

Hi Scott,

Yes, I am planning on coming down. Going to leave around 5:45 AM. Will call Doug to make sure the event is still on. Should be there around 9:30 AM depending on traffic.

Save me a parking spot with you guys, if you can. See you there.

John :dancing

[blr33439]

Just came across this. I will try to make it with my 90zr1. Its no show queen, but still fun to drive.

[andersra]

Scott, I will meet you guys at the Chowder Pot. I'll try to be there by 8:30. We'll easily be on the road by 9:00AM.

[Mystic ZR-1]

Due to a crappy weather forecast Vettes in the Village is postponed till October 9

Doug

[andersra]

Doug,

Thanks for the note. I'll try to make it next week. Not 100% sure if I can.

:saluting: aye, aye Captain, message received & understood. I'll play that one by ear as I'm doing Atlantic City next Saturday as it's the 6th annual Kerbeck's Toy for Tots gathering.

:cheers:
Tom

[94Admiral]

Bummer. Probably the correct call though...weather looks more "iffy" every time I check it.....

[tomtom72]

:mad: wouldn't you know it, it's bright sunshine down here in lower NY!

I want to know how to get a job as a weather forecaster.....they got it made. If I was right only 50% of the time at my job my boss would be very cross with me!:sign10:

:cheers:
Tom

[ZZZZZR1]

Event is postponed until October 9th.

:saluting:

[FU]

[andersra]

It looks like I should be able to make it next Sunday. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

[94Admiral]

The weather looks to be some of the best this year! Unfortunately, I am out for next weekend due to other commitments. Maybe try to make a Heavenly Donuts on Weds?

[tomtom72]

I may be out for this one as I have a job action at one of our sites. I'm not sure and I'll post up as soon as I get some info.

Sorry Doug.:o

:cheers:
Tom

Okay, I've got a picket line to run at one of our job sites, soooo I'm out for this weekend on any leisure activities!....this sux! Sorry Doug!

[andersra]

I would have come to heavenly Donuts tonight, but it turns out someone at work in CA made a late commitment for me regarding a conference call during THEIR time frame, not mine.

[Mystic ZR-1]

“Vettes in the Village” Mystic CT is definitely ON!!! Sunday 10/9

Perfect weather and almost 80 degrees predicted for Sunday!!!!!!!

Last Sunday, it was pouring rain at 9am and by 10:30am it was perfect, what can you do?... I went for a ride in my Z!
If we had the event, it would have rained all day...
Doug

[jrd1990zr1]

Doug,

Unfortunately I have a previous committment this Sunday.

Sorry.

Hope there is a good turn-out, take lots of pictures.

:cheers:

[tomtom72]

:( I'm out as the job action I'm running is still on. Lou is also out as he has an issues with his eyes and the ill fitting contact lenses and his corneas. There seems to be blood vessel issues & some bleeding.

Sorry Doug. Unless my labor dispute gets resolved before Sunday, I'm on a picket line.

:cheers:
Tom

[andersra]

I'm still planning a trip to Mystic tomorrow. Any ZR-1 brothers joining me? It seems most are not able to attend.

[Michael Beal]

I'm going, Bob. Unfortunate that we can't hook up as I'm coming from Middletown (up Rte. 9, picking up 95 on Old Saybrook.) See you there.

[blr33439]

I still plan on attending. I was hoping to have my headlight system installed but I just started the last section of the molds today. Guess its broken flip lights for tomorrow. After tomorrow I can take the top end apart and order new injectors.

[andersra]

Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

[andersra]

Mike,

That is typically the way I would be coming as well. Last week I was going to go via 95 to meet up with the others. I cut through Middletown and head down RT 9 to 95. What time are you planning to leave?

[wprice]

Doug,

Sorry I can't make it today either I have a previous commitment with my local club. Good Luck with the show.

"Vettes in the Village '11" was so fine. Sorry the scheduling knocked out so many of the Brotherhood from attending - you were missed. Doug and his FCO club did a great job in organizing the event - and it showed. The weather was spectacular (Doug will not take credit for this) and the venue was overflowing with Vettes. Congratulations and thanks to Doug and FCO - looking forward to 2012.

[andersra]

This was a great event. I'm very glad to have attended. great seeing Doug, seeing and having lunch with Mike and the Mrs., and meeting many new people as well. Great job Doug.

[Mystic ZR-1]

"Vettes in the Village" in Mystic was a great success! Inspite of it being on the rain date, we still had 275 Vettes show up!!! That includes several ZR-1s from the Brotherhood!!!! The weather was fantastic! Thanks for your support!!! This event makes it possible for our small club, "For Corvettes Only", to make some serious donations to local charities as well as to the NCM.
Thanks again!!!!
Doug and "FCO"
