Hope everyone has a safe trip.Pretty crazy weather around here started out with snow,then freezing rain,then just rain,now snow.Go figure https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif.
Hey BA better watchout for DC as he gets his drawers in a bunch when you call him "MR.CUMBY".I said it was a respect issue for an elder but still got scolded for it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif.As with the last two Vettefest's that my daughter and I have been to this one will probably be over the top for quality cars not only Vette's but the sYc showcase and Nickey cars.As for this year the daughter and I will not be able to go as we will be at my grandmothers funeral on sat https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif.Can't wait to see all of the pictures from all of the sYc credentialed photographers https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif.
Everyone have a very safe weekend and take lots of pictures.

Thanks Bruce,Gram had a stroke 16yrs ago and Gramps took care of her for the last 14 1/2 yrs 24/7/365.Paralyzed on her right side,couldn't communicate very few words,wheelchair bound.66yrs of marriage makes a heart grow very strong https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif.Something everyone should aspire to achieve.
It stinks not being able to go but there will be others to go to.Family is #1 priority.You know what I'm talking about.
Probably the next place we will see you is SCR10 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif
Just the wife and myself are going to be there.Oldest daughter is working and going to stay home and watch the boys (2 Black Labs).Youngest daughter is going to be on a missions trip in Ohio.So that leaves the wife and me and maybe a certian Silver 70 NovaSS coming to play at the racetrack. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
Bruce,better watchout or DC will give you a scolding also. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
Have a great weekend.

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07
 

If the "stars align" I will be there at SCR10. Damn work keeps adding to my schedule! Don't they know I need some "play" time? LOL...

Looking forward to seeing that Nova! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Send pictures Bob.

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07
 

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SAFE TRIP, THEY SHOW THE WEATHER AS LOOKING BAD, TAKE CARE, HAVE A GREAT SHOW....KASEY

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07
 

I just heard from Schonye and JD in Iowa. They're both due West of Chicago and the weather and road conditions ain't good! Drive safe and smart guys. Better to get there late than not at all!

Kendall,
So sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I always knew you were our kind of guy. "Family comes first" is evidently a part of your DNA. Our condolences to you, your immediate family and please give our heartfelt sympathies to your Grandfather. Sounds like a pretty special man!

Bruce,
It's gonna be left up to Darren, Kwhizz, "Post" Dan and the rest of the guys to get us some photo coverage of the event. I'm stuck in Roodhouse for the weekend. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

"Roodhouse...where's that?"

Well, you go to the end of the hard road, take a left on the dirt road, follow it 'til it turns into a path, then get out and walk to the edge of the earth. Look around; you're there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07
 

DC...I hope all is well with you.

The directions to your place sound an awful lot like the directions to my place https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07
 

Talked to mom & dad...they're about an hour out, and it's snowing pretty hard...always the optimist, mom says "but it's a dry snow"! They're both worried about how cold it's gonna be sitting in line for an hour or so waiting to get in, with the engine off since they're only allowed 1/8 tank of gas... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07
 

It's snowing lightly now,but nothing significant.
The winds are hitting 60 MPH +,so you trailers be careful as you are as vulnerable as a sailboat at sea.
The city of Chicago began phase II of the 800 million dollar two year long reconstruction of the Dan Ryan,aka IL-90/94,THIS very week which means massive ramps closures and detours.
The express center lanes are where all traffic is being re-routed as they close off ALL the local side exit ramps,and you have to find an alternative.
This affects 31st street which is the exit for McCormick Place,among others.
The Bishop-Ford express way between Indiana & Illinois is down to two lanes.
Add the Toll booth and let the expletives fly.
Be careful and follow all signs... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Spring Vettefest update 2-24-07

Have not had a "Rock" since they closed the brewery. It a hometown loyalty thing I guess, but when it isn't brewed in Latrobe, it just isn't Rock..BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif
