Caravan to the 20th Anniversary Gathering 2010

I was beginning to think about the drags - guess I don't have to "look" in that direction now!

So, are you ready to auto cross on Sat? Have you heard how Die Cast is?
Someone here told me today that the auto cross was in the same location, but the NCM said Die Cast and it's close to Beech Bend. Maybe they will rename it to "BEACH Bend"

I don't have a clue where that is but I'd at least go over and watch if it happens.

[MikeG]

Ya can't just watch - ya gotta try it out!

[Hammer]

One day left before I leave.

[MikeG]

Looks like a couple days of wet driving

Forecast for here to O'Fallon on Monday is WET and again on Tue, til close to KY.

It's raining today, so I'm going out to see how the windsheild wipers work!

I am READY for Monday!!!!!

[Hammer]

Morning Mike,

You better believe I am. New wipers so we should be good. I'm getting ready to print weather for the week.

See you Monday. I'll call that morning once on the road. You are leaving at around 7:00 right? Dennis and I are planning on around 8:00.

[MikeG]

Correct on the 7am - watched Weather Channel a bit early this morning. Looks like you might be in rain on Sun also.

The long range for BG is 20-30% chance of rain on Wed and Thurs -- but that means a 70-80% of NO rain

Have a good day, way out there in ID

Got to run - errands and then some adjustments on #135!

Trace Die Cast is high and dry. Here's a quote from JVD:

"The autocross will take place at Trace Die Cast which is right down the street from the NCM and our place. More specifically, it is close to the liquor store. :-)
And it will take place Saturday Morning. I believe they are giving it more time now that there will be more interest.
For some of you who are unfamiliar with autocross, it is a track set with cones that gives the participant a driving challenge which is scored for time and the lack of dropped cones. It is really a challenge and a lot of fun. In this case, a slow speed course, you will get into 2nd gear only once, the rest is done in first gear."

Thanks for the post! It's the first "confirmation" that it's a go. I'm surprised that the NCM site has no info (to assure the Gathering attendees) that everything is still a GO, except for the Drags

I am ready to "rock and roll" out of here first thing Monday morning - still wishing the weather changes here in the Centeral Plains before then. Looks like two days of rain while driving to BG

I don't think the Autocross at Trace Die Cast has anything to do with NCM
Probably something JVD and the BGACC (Bowling Green Assembly Corvette Club) folks cooked up when the drags went south...hope the Officials of the Gathering don't get their noses bent out of shape beacuse the locals are invited us to join them
