Re: Ribs at JVD's
 

Hey Gang!
Just another update on the ?Legend Lives On? BBQ at Auto Masters, May 13th, at the ZR-1 & C4 Gathering. We?re going to ROCK!
So far, nearly 100 people registered or otherwise RSVP?d including some friends from MerCruiser, GM and all over Corvetteland. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to the piggy bank. I can assure you we will have a memorable event because of it. I even received a check for $75 from a friend in Afghanistan. He couldn?t be with us but hoped we could use his donation to make this the best Gathering yet. His Mom and Dad (The Egelstads) are favorites of mine and they will be here. I won?t be cashing that check and I will also be inviting his wife to join us for a heck of a nice party. Did I mention our guest speaker?
World famous GM Engineer Jim Minneker will be our guest speaker and will be presenting a slide show of the trials and tribulations of developing the ZR-1. Jim gave this presentation back at the Thunder at Stillwater event and it was a knockout. This is sure to be the hit of the evening. We will also be showing the GM video of the ZR-1 introduction, the World Record Run, and maybe even a Pirate clip or two on our 60 inch big screen.
Our friends at Budweiser are providing kegs, kegorators, and beautiful banners, we have already received a 200 pound box of LT5 engine parts for table decorations and of course, an auction or two. General Custer (Greg London) will be smoking his famous pork butts and the BowTie burger cutters are ready to go. Did I say Ribs?
The shop is booking up so if you have any issues we can help you with, please let us know asap.
We are working a trade for a new sound system for the shop. A guy with an 80 Vette needs a tranny, so we?ll have some tunes and a nice podium setup for our speakers as well.
Again, thanks for your contributions so far and we?ll see you soon. If you haven't RSVP'd me with your name and the number of guests, please do so. We don't want to run out....(kidding).
p.s. I?m still trying to put an LT5 on a wheel chair but so far no success. Leg is coming along but I guess I won?t be dancing much. Sorry Hib?.:mrgreen:

Room for two more? It looks like the car will be ready. How much Jim! Something a little less than one million dollars eh?

Hi to all

All contributions are appreciated, thanks.

Fortunately we are still high and dry from the rains.

Things are coming along terrific. Our guest lists includes most all of the VIP's and 100 of you. Our guest Speaker will be JIm MInneker giving us the humrouis side of the development of the LT5. Others include John Hienricy, Tommy MOrrison, JIm INgel, Dave McLellan, Fred Gallash, Ralph Kramer, Jack UNderwood, Graham Behan, Gary Cline and others.
I also have a special invitation out to another very special Corvette person but am still waiting to hear back.

Table decorations are underway, sound system is on, registration packets are going together. YOU're gonna love those! I also called Dave Kimball, the world's Corvette illustrator and although he couldn't come, he sent an item for our auction that should blow your socks off! It has something to do with a famous magazine cover...

Also, several of you have reserved time for work on your cars. We will have a full LT5 staff on hand. If any of you need technical service, please let us know ahead of time.

thanks and see ya soon!
