Thanks Tux. This could be great. I'm really bumbed I can't make Hot SpringsCry, but this would definitely cheer me upTongue. Good idea with poll. You can PM, call or email me if you like. I'm happy we're getting this much interest already. TerryM

[QUOTE=indy99]You can add me in. No vette yet. It's not quite ready for the road yet.  The Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg Museum is right there also. They have a great collection of cars and cool stuff.[/QUOTE]
And right behind it is a truck and hot rod museum. Plus I have a free access to the ACD because of being a lifetime member at NCM.

Okay Gene, your turn to help.... Lets start with 2 things..... Great places to eat...... and places to lay down tierd old bones.

Thinking along the lines that there might be 20-30 folks for say lunch and dinner.

and....

A place to lay down my head at night in case I can't seem to tear myself away from the cars, the folks, and the excitement.

Once we establish some of this I will added it to the information depicted in the poll.

Ok... I haven't checked prices yet but the Marriot might be the best bet. It has a little Nightclub we could take over.  I will go there this week and try to get a good deal by guaranteeing 20 - 30. I will also get a price on a cheapie hotel that is still decent / good. We have a small house but good yard, my wife gave the OK for a cook out. So one meal can be on us if everyone likes the idea. We live in a safe neighborhood, also our house is in between the Corvette Museum and Auburn (Museum, Proteam) . As for speeding tickets ... I am considering trying to get some type of escort, not a slow one either!. Wink  There is a park near here where car shows take place, if we want that I will need a little time to set it up. As soon as we get an exact day, I will work on getting the local Vette club involved. The club is for all years of Vettes let me know if I should pursue this. I can make a flier or someone who makes good ones can do it and I will copy and distribute. I will plaster them on every C3 I see.
  Great places to eat? Hooters, Outback, Steakhouses, Buffets we have all types of food and  all close to where everyone will probably stay. I will ask a few restaurants what they can do for us, and get back with you. Let me know what types of food we want and I will do the rest. If everyone wants one really good meal NOT CHEAP... Cork and Clever Restuarant across from the Marriot. Steak/ Seafood. My wife got the biggest Crab I have ever seen there. The Marriot has good food also.
  Proteam does not do actual tours on Saturdays.
Let me know People.
