I want to get more info about this driving event but I am having problems every time I try to "read more". It knocks me off the internet completely. I have no problems anywhere else on the site, just this hyperlink. Can you send me the info directly to me at my email address? cgfireman153@comcast.net
Thanks,
Chris

Mark, So you guys ever carry FRS radios so you can communicate during the run? That is when I'm not holding on for dear life going round a curve at breakneck speeds.. :-) Just a thought...

Believe me. At some points of the trip you will have your hands full with just steering and shifting that is unless you can use or have a third arm of some type to help

Yes, at least some of the folks have a radio, I will have one. But since it will be hard to drive and talk, that is why everyone gets a set of directions to the distillery.

a lot of people pair up on the run, I kinda like that-the "DD" driver oh yehhh

Some people bring radios, and it came in very handy the year we had a police escort when we left MM. Also, it allowed me to re-direct Mike (WVPhoto) when he was about to miss a right turn in one of the little towns. Just make sure you clip it to the visor. The first year I set mine in the cupholder. I heard it smack the passenger-side door when I took the first left hander and didn't see it again until I got to the distillery.

Looking forward to it. That will get the heart pumping again!

Best part of Z06 Fest!!! WART Tour!!! Woo Woooo! I wonder who will get the corn stalks in their bed and be passed the ceremonial beads to continue the tradition?!?!?!?!

Can't wait!

It'll be more fun this year for us. Last year I noticed a pulsating vibration when we got up to speeds I won't mention on I-65 that had me a little bothered. It ended up being a defective tire on one side of the car and an untrue wheel on the other. I just knew I had screwed my drivetrain at the drags. It was still a blast, but you know the feeling you have when you think you've re-broke your favorite toy

**Z06 Fire Vet** · 08-29-2008, 05:38 PM

I am looking forward to this but my wife may sit this out and I was wondering what else is going on so she can be occupied while I am driving? Is there transportation that can take her to the Corvette museum? or shops close? Is there anything she can walk to... etc....? Anyone?
