VOTE NOW: 2007 C3VR Gathering Location

Expedia Maps shows it to be a 2150 mile 32 hour trip. I might be a geezer, but I have never made that long a road trip. Might as well Git 'er done while I am still on the right side of the sod.....

Terry,

How long was your drive from Seattle to PF???

Dave

Dave, I logged in 53 hours of driving time, but that includes detours in St. Louis, I slowed down 3 hours for a weather front stall in North Dakota then changed route by dropping south. Going home I took I 40 across country and did a great 22 hour drive in about 3 days..Spent time in Las Vegas, car overheated and I had  to gamble to take my mine off the car..I used 5 miles over the speed limit and I got no tickets, some places you can go 90MPH..I was passed by a cop and I was doing 87MPH..You can do better than 32 hours..The trucks are real bad out there..

Terry...

Dumb question... Was 53 hours round trip or one way??

Dave

From Seattle to PF, one way..Slow going down and fast heading back, after I followed you on the T.O.T.D and the Speedway it was in my blood.." The need for Speed "..TS

If it was one way I'm gonna quit bitchin' about 32 hours to Carson City. I have never driven out west and once we get past the cornfields I'm gonna take a bunch of side trips on the mountain roads for sight seeing. Never been around there outside of winter. This CTS-V sticks like glue and goes like stink, even has a "G" meter on the driver's display. I dusted a C5 by 3 or 4 car lengths from 70 - 130 MPH.....

Dave

I guess I won't mind this a much if are in a caravan. Otherwise I will be thinking to myself after day 1 "Are we there yet"?

Well.... let's plan a caravan starting in St. Louie, wherever the crap that is, and get into some neat stops and stayovers along the way....

Dave

If you guys come thru on I-44 to I-40W, we may be able to meet up with you along with some of the other OK Vettes.

Ifn' you'd want to detour off on some of the prime Route 66 pavement, you can run almost all the way across Oklahoma on 66 http://www.oklahomaroute66.com/. (Don't know how to get the link to work)  They have a run in March or April every year that goes from one end of the state to the other.  It is great fun!

If you time it right, you can stop at Cattlemen's Steakhouse, favorite of Actors, Presidents and no-accounts.  It is in the middle of the State less than a mile off I-40 West.

Joel, you and Micki and all the rest of the Tejas bunch can probably get a one time visa to come up and join the party  We'll see if the Gov will allow it, probably depends on a certain Cotton Bowl score.

You guys are crazy (but in a good way)! I am still tryin to get through this years event plans. Mid America in a few weeks and then I think my wife an I and a few locals are going to the fall Corvette Expo

http://www.corvetteexpo.com/oct-06.htm

at Chillowee Park east of Knoxville. We haven't been for several years. If ya haven't been this is a good event to vist for parts. Tyoically the have several used part as well as vendor booths at this event.

That's a heckuva lot closer to Nashville than Carson City, and the weekend after C3X...
