Vette(s): 2004 Commemorative Edition Coupe, Auto w/HUD. 13K miles in 2015. Sold 1982 Red Coupe
I rolled in about 7:40 PM.
Not back considering I left Gate #3 at 3:05 PM.
That's right, none of you that gave me your tickets won the give-away Vette.
Ticket holder for the first drawing had 7 minutes to show up or else ticket holder for the second drawing was going to win. I didn't stick around to see if the first ticket holder showed up.
 
The driving was clear sailing... Nothing but sun all the way. I made one short stop for a sandwich and shake.
 
I'll post some pics as soon as I can get them uploaded. There were some really "different" looking Vettes again this year. And a few neat trailers too.

My wife and I stayed. The first ticket holder never showed.  The kicker to it is the winner was the husband of the woman that one the car LAST YEAR!!!  So now they have 7!!!  So in 2 years they have WON probably close to $100K worth of Corvettes!  Aint life grand??

Dave, thanks for checking in. We got in around 1:30, and I put a tune up order into summit racing. Guess after 30 years I need to change plugs cap rotor and wiresCry I mean it just turned 17K on this trip should all be like new right. We were looking at the map tonight seeing how you would get back to West NY, no straight line for sure.
Thanks for all your hard work this weekend helping everyone your a Star.

I had a great trip home! Not too much traffic (except in Littlestown,  PA) and the Vette ran GREAT! It was great to see all the regulars and to meet the new attendees.  Already can't wait to go back!

Hi everyone-
It was a great weekend.  I enjoyed meeting and hanging with you all, especiallly Friday night's gathering/dinner.  I participated in the flag and the parade which were much fun, including all the attention on Main St. I left Sunday at 4;  hit heavy traffic in NJ.; It took an extra hour and arrived home (Long Island) at 10PM. Looking foward to next year!!
