Subject: Re: Monday Chat 06.06.11 by biggrizzly on 2011/6/6 11:37:57 Good Morning Gurus! Well I'm back! What a crazy weekend. The car show was a great success! We had great weather, awesome cars and tons of good help. Although for some reason we only pulled in a 110 cars. I really expected no less than 150 cars in the show. However, even with the lower numbers of cars, I was still very happy with the quality of those cars and the people that drove them in. I'll be sharing photos later this week when my members get them posted up. Some of the highlights were the visit from Corvette Product & Marketing Manager Harlan Charles. He drove a Supersonic Blue 100th Anniversary Centennial Edition Carbon to the show. These cars come from the factory with race treads mounted! I'll have to send photos!!! We also had a 20123 serial no. 000003 black ZR1 Centennial Edition with us for the show compliments of GM brass! This is one of the cars seen in the advertisements etc.. I heard its one of three ZR1 with the package at this time. None of these 2012s were for sale. We also had a 2012 Z06 in Carlisle Blue on display showing off the new color!! This show was the "Cats Ass" for a true hard core Corvette fan to be, if they wanted to see the latest Corvettes, talk personally and candidly with Harlan Charles to see what the Corvette future plans would be. Regretfully, I was so busy during the day, I could not take out the time to really sit down with him during show time!! I plan to follow up his visit with a long thank you letter and plans to meet with him at a future event (Corvettes at Carlisle) and have a good long chat. On top of all this, I wound up taking Kathie back to the hospital on Saturday night because she became really sick. She is still there and I'm on my way shortly to be with her while they run some tests. We are not sure what is going on yet. So... It was a crazy weekend indeed!!! Chat later |
