Z06Vette.com Spring Fling in Evansville, IN

[gaijin]

Ok...been thinking of getting some of brutha's together sometime early April. Frankly getting tired of all this rain and stuff. I need to go on a road trip.

Here's the plan. Evansville, Indiana is about a three hour drive from St. Louis, MO; 2 hours from Louisville, Bowling Green, KY; 2 from Nashville and so on....

A very good friend of mine has an import car dealership and recently picked up the Mallett Corvette as another offering. We can check out his "inventory" and perhaps get a little "mod party" going. Then cap the day off at the local Hooter's (banner pix of course).

So any interest on getting this "show" on the road?

How far is that from Chicago. About 6 hours?

[blkZ06]

you had me up 'til the hooters part

[gaijin]

Glenns....yes...approximately 6 from Chi-town, straight down I-57, then I-64.

Leslie...you can always stay at the dealership...perhaps I can even talk the owner in letting you take one of his "exotics" out for a nice cruise of the river front area.

Evansville, IN 391 miles 6 hours and 21 min travel time. Thats a little too long for me. Have fun fellas.

You got it, George. And if we have enough brutha's committed, we just might get Chuck Mallett to come and join us for our little get together too.

Hello Larry,

Glad to see you getting the party going, count me in I would like to come. Also I would like to help you out on the mod. side of it.

If a few guys would like, I would be more than happy to give and install a few items I have been making (I think you know what I'm talking about / dont know if I can say it in this format). Maybe a drawing or first guys commited to showing up. Let me know.

Thanks,
John H.

Good to hear from you. I'll be nailing down the "when." My friend in moving his operations to a new building that he and his dad just recently bought. It'll be a "grand opening" of sorts and he mentioned that he was going to invite Chuck Mallett to attend since he is now the national distributor for the Mallett Corvettes(he's got an E/B in stock when I last spoke to him).

More on this....sometime later this week....

Corvettes Unlimited Club, 27th Annual Corvette Show & Parts Swap in Joliet, Illinois-March 9 (I entered it)

Super Chevy Show in Memphis, Tn. April 11-13

All Corvette Cruise In at Terre Haute, In. on April 12
Proceeds to local charities.

I live 11 miles East of St. Louis, Missouri

Gaijin maybe the Terre Haute-Corvette Cruise is a little closer to Chi-Town, $5.00 for charity 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., it is held at Sycamore Chevrolet, thats on a Saturday, maybe later we could do evening things. It is put on by Wabash Valley Corvette Club.

I am willing to go to Evansville, In. as our Car Club-Pieces of History pasted through there to get to Madisonville, Ky. to Judge a local Car Show for them in 2001.

Also Paducah, Ky. ( might attract some members from Tennesse ) is a Great Town always plenty to do. Antique Shops, Flea Markets, Quilt Museum, Fun Park, Mall Shopping and "lots of Straight Roads".

Gaijin not trying to horn-in, whatever works for you I will try to be there. Phil

I live close to Terre Haute and I'm a member of the Wabash Valley Corvette Club. I would probably come to Evansville though depending on the date.
