Re: 2009 Bowling Green gathering, when???
If you’ve never been on the receiving end of “The Look”, you don’t understand its implications and these comments are not intended for you. A Gathering on Mothers day requires that you engage in a discussion with your better-half while suggesting a preplanned Mothers Day weekend getaway that includes driving hours to a Corvette event to enjoy activities targeting those with deep and unusual interests in man-toys intentionally designed to be powerful, loud, fast, and potentially dangerous. The period leading to and including such a negotiation about said weekend is one of life’s unusual occurrences where neither logic, patience, nor diplomacy are of any value.
In no specific order, survivable examples of other life altering events that DO NOT result in “the look” include: - Multiple purchases of man-toys such as a ZR1, large screen entertainment systems, etc. - Large investments in engine modifications to weekend race cars. - Extended OCONUS TDYs to unusual destinations greater than 30 days allowing little and often no contact home. - Going to war. Examples of Events that guarantee “The Look” (and its implications) where survivability is often highly questionable: - Modifications to the home resulting in most any volume of drywall dust. - Corvette Gatherings on Mothers Day. If it’s on Mothers Day, you tough guys have a great time. I’m not even going to ask… |

They have tried that in the past, and i think they found that acquiring the dragstrip was harder. And also attendance did not fluctuate up or down by moving it off of that weekend. |
