Jim,
Nick is giving you a hint about your last post

Been to BG a couple of times, but have not attended 'The Gathering' (yet!). Travel plans for 2009 have already been made so will miss it in '09.

Will be trekking there with the NCC in September though. Hope to connect with some ZR-1 folks then.

I've not been and definitely plan on going next year. Cancelled making the trip last year due to rain but she'll
just have to get wet from now on as I'm not getting any younger. I'm looking forward to meeting as many of
you good people as I can and it's going to be awesome to see so many BadAzz cars in one place!

I've never been but will do my best to make it in 2009 (another hint Jim)
Not having on Mom's day is the break I needed.

Not sure I can go this year, but I had a great time two years ago - despite the tunderstorms! Between the museum, meeting people, lectures and touring the plant across the street, it is a very good time.

I've been to the last few and I havn't had any fun at all.
Problem one, is trying to put the faces to the names,
many of you are alot uglier in person.

I've been skeered 1/2 to death, In my room,
over served alcoholic beverages in the parking lot

I had to stand by my car, and learn more in a few hours
than i could find out on my own, in a few months. (knowit alls)

I've had to bump elbows, with the likes of Dick Gulstrand,
Reeves Callaway, Dave McClellan, Gordon Killibrew, and host of other
Corvette Icons, who treated me like they have known me most all my
life, the nerve.

I've learned little tricks of the trade so to speak, from Gordon, and
Marc Haibeck, and Corey Henderson, Greg V
Frank Urbanati, Ron k,
Bob Hall and the texas boys
and Jeffvette and DEE-White, and i've
endured Uly in his underwear and been forced to wear a thong

Ive met real race car drivers, Real fighter pilots, and submarine commanders.

I've had to endure looking at a bunch of exotic corvettes, met the
great Callaway group, rode in a skunk. (grand sport)

I've felt peer pressure, to the utmost, making me drag race my car,
and run all over the beautiful rolling hills of Kentucky, sometimes with
an entire "herd" of ZR-1's in front and behind.

oh, and the laughing and B.S. sessions, not for the meek of heart or mind.

So...if you're asking me, stay at home, mabe polish your'e car, take out
the garbage and run some errands for the wifey. AFter all we are all
gonna live forever. There is always next year.

A wise man once said, it's not the car's, it's the people.

Ok, I think I can swing going but its going to take a team effort.....as I never take my wife anywhere on vacation, I am going to have to bring her with. This will require that I tell her that the gathering is in Florida(This is just to get the buy in) so please be sure to follow along if you run into her. I will then tell her upon our arrival that the beach is shut down due to high bacteria levels, but she can stay at the pool. My guess is she will never know the difference.

If we can find a Holidome(70s Holiday inn with a recreation area) I might be able to convince her that its Disneyworld.


Sure there are some other small details to work out but I think its a plan....maybe she will believe that the National Corvette Museum is Epcot and local movie theatre is MGM studios....if there is a Bass Pro shop that could also be s substitute for Sea World.

I love it when a plan comes together

Hey LGAFF,

Don't forget that Beech Bend Dragstrip could be the race cars at Disney World.

Just trying to help out.
