It is 77 degrees here at 7am. I just hope that the weather cooperates this weekend. I have so much to do, but I just had to stop in and wish everyone safe travels to CB11. We will do our best to post every evening, depending on how tired we are. P.S. We will miss you grandsport, but hope to see you at the Ohio Show. |
It is supposed to be 95 degrees this week down here so bring cool clothes. It will be great to meet you too.
My car is easy to find, a Blue 69 4 door post car with silver 70-72 stripes on the hood and trunk. |
Have a great time.
|
Enjoy, looking forward to your updates while you're there.
|
Take lots of pics. Gotta see some pics :D:worthless:
|

|
Construction blew. Was hoping to make it here by 6 or 7. We rolled in closer to 9.Theres several chevelles in the parking lot. Looking forward to meeting their owner soon.

After driving for over 10 hours we go to the DaysInn and looked at the steep driveway, while thinking holy crap ! The van and trailer made it up the steep grade, but not without scraping a little. So today we are going to take the trailer over to Moss Wright Park and park it there, with the show. This way if we need the golf cart, tools, to put the car away or anything, it will be closer and on a flat surface.
Walked around the parking lot this morning to see a lot of beautiful cars. The hotel, like many others around here, is sold out, so parking is at a prime and you see many orange cones from the Chevelles who don't wanna lose their spots. We look forward to seeing John (flash) and Joan later, as well as seeing grandsport if he decides to come. Plus meeting many more people. After talking to the people in the parking lot we found out that registration starts at 10am. So it is almost time to go, but I just had to stop in and let you know how excited we are to be here. I hope everyone has as good of a day, as I anticipate having ! |
Sounds like a great day. Sunny day here also today.
|
Sounds like a fun time. Im surprised to read that you all trailer these cars. Is that what the majority of participants do? Why do yall choose to trailer rather than drive?
|
We trailered our car because it was almost 600 miles each way. The trans has less than 100 miles on it, the motor less than 200 miles on it. And no air conditioning. I know the people from the north complain about the cold. But damn, the heat and humidity here...it sucks ! Proof of that was the fact that by noon at CB11 an ambulance arrived to take someone to the hospital because of the heat. I wish I could have brought some cold weather with us.
|
Some of people say they don't trailer their car when they drive into CB11. But then you see them at the hotel, where their trailer is parked.
|
I have 2 kids so the car would be trashed after a 500 mile trip so it rides in the trailer. If it was just the wife and I the car would be driven.
It is hot for sure. We are going to camp out under the tent today and try to keep cool. We have the 69 4 door this year, one of the few 4 doors this year. |
I've been there a few times and it does get HOT, but with all the beautiful cars and the awesome people, I can put up with a little heat. Wish I could be there with Ya'll. Drink lots of :beer: or water which ever you prefer. :D
|
I hope everyone has a great time. I would love to be out there also, but since my car is not here yet & the fact that it's so far away I will be staying home.
Tane and I did go to Camaro fest in Phoenix back in April . That sounds alot like what this is. We had a blast. Again have fun and stay safe......... |
I had the opportunity to meet Chevelle Nut and his son today. What a nice guy, and his 4 door ain't too bad either. I took many pics of his car and hope to have it as one of our feature cars really soon.
|
We need pictures of all the fun you are having, and some pictures of your car there.
:worthless: |
Check out my albums ! I posted over 100 pics yesterday. I still have to download and size the ones in my 2 cameras from today.
I am doing the best I can Captain ! lol |
I found this pictures today and the car beside the one in the picture looks alot like yours
|

We braved the weather today and had another great day. Took more pics of some beautiful Chevelles and El Caminos to showcase on the site. We are so sunburn and tired that we are calling it a night. We head out at 6am tomorrow for the long drive home.
We might post tomorrow, depends on traffic and how long it takes us to get home. I hope everyone had a great weekend and I look forward to catching up over the next few days. Heck I haven't even looked at my e-mail since Wed., that alone is going to take me a day to sort thru. |
Calling it a night at 9:39 on Saturday? There should be a law against that. :D
I've been there twice and never been to bed before 2:00a.m. on any of the nights... latest was just before 5:00 on Sunday morning in '08. Some of the early-risers were starting to come out to get their cars ready for the trip home when I decided to go to bed... good thing about the heat, you can sweat-out a hangover real quick. :) |
We just got settled in a while ago ,what a great weekend .Got the Chevelle unpacked and stored away in the shop until our next adventure. It was great seeing everyone and meeting new friends .Boy was it ever hot .
|
We left at 7am. Had to load the car in the parking lot across the street, because that driveway into the Days Inn is dangerous. It is a very steep driveway, and we had a trailer that sat low and dragged, even without the car in it.
Pulled into my driveway at 5:30pm. We finally got the car unpacked, trailer unpacked and car put away by 6:30pm. Then came the fun of unloading suitcases and bags we brought home, then dinner. I am just now sitting down to post a little. What a weekend. It was so hot !! I had fun but am so tired, but happy to be home to 70 degrees. |
We left at 6:30 AM and got home at noon Georgia time .

It was very hard to go back to work today .
|
I am not going back till Monday!
|
I had to get back to working immediately. I had over 700 e-mails. But the memories made it all worth it.
Glad to hear that everyone made it home safely. The only issue we had was one of the detours had such steep hills that the brakes on the trailer were smoking. And to top it all off, my brother told me today that all the way there and all the way home his "check engine" light was on. It ended up just being the breather element. He said he didn't tell me cause he didn't want me to worry and he wanted me to have a good time. What a great guy ! |
We made it home today, it will be good to sleep in my own bed tonight. The Ford pulled the trailer and car like a champ over the mountains, gotta love a diesel.
