It sounds like fun Adam. Hopefully Sassi will be up & running so that we can take her. She's never been to the NCM.

Count me in. Currently my plan is to drive there, although, I'm still in "negotiations" with the car - see if she's up for the trip and all.... :)

Wouldn't mind going in tandem with anyone else coming from the NY/NJ/PA/CT area!

Let me offer some advice: let trailered vehicles run in their own Caravan! Past August, 8 couples in Cruise cars drove from Pittsburgh to "WOODWARD Avenue" (Detroit). 2 vehicles were trailered: '70 Plymouth GTX w/"6-pack", geared low; I can see why: sucking gas and probably couldn't go above 60mph, anyway. And an original owner '65 Chevelle 'vert with a fresh engine (WHY??? It was taken to Cruises and had a couple of hundred miles on it). NOTHING MORE BORING than following a "U-Haul" trailer going 52mph! (though it's fender decals said "Not OVER 45mph"). We caravanned because we hadn't been there before, were staying in Warren, Mi. Return trip, a bud of ours with a '66 Chevelle (we had the '57 "PinkLinc") and I "bailed" on the rest and boogied on home at POSTED speed...MUCH better!
Aside: We got there Wednesday evening, a.m. Thursday we all toured WOODWARD, hit the Chrysler Museum, stopped at a big Cruise at a shopping center @ Woodward & 13 Mile Road...AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT! The BIG Eastern U.S. black-out: no traffic lights, no gas, no water, no restaurants open, the Casinos closed within 1/2 hour (but we survived)

Well, It looks to me that I'll be going as well. I would like to see the Brick at the Museum. I'll be giving some money later in the year. |thumb| I might even race my vette too!

It's kinda a long drive from Massachusetts, but if I get the mods done that I've been planning maybe I'll hook up with some of the folks driving from the northeast.

Anyone heading down from CT or NY?

Will there be an autocross? At Beech Bend? The only time I ran at Beech Bend was the '01 NCCC convention, when I locked up my brakes and bounced off the concrete wall. Minimal damage, but needless to say I wouldn't be thrilled about running there again. But I would...

Looks like that weekend is free for me, I might come down for it.

I've noticed that the NCM event page is still blank. Is there ANYTHING that could be put there? |headscratch|

Who is the main NCM contact person for the event? Adam, I'm assuming you're the main C3VR contact. Any thoughts to having a 'C3VR event group' to work with the NCM folks (seeing as C3VR is the co-host)?

Just curious is all. It just seems like there should be more information available for a "national" event that is less than 8 months away.

Sweet looking Impala SS there Gregg!

My Dad has a '96 SS. We've been adding some bolt on "goody's" to it.
Now I had rip apart my engine on the vette and add a "LT4 HotCam" setup to be able to beat his car. |biggrin|

Thanks for the kind words on my Impala. I would do more work to it, but since it pulls the trailer fast enough with the Vette inside I figure why bother!? I hope your able to beat your dad. There is nothing worse that being beat by a 4dr. Good Luck!
