Yeah, October would be better for me, for sure. But as for the weather, heck this IS Florida. Rain just comes with the territory, and there is NO predicting it at all.

44 cars, 14 (I think) paid registrations that were no shows due to weather, we've filed their applications for the next Poker Run so they are automatically pre-registered and will be mailing shirts to them, and I've fielded over 25 calls and emails from people who had verbally committed but didn't because of rain. Can't blame them, I wouldn't take my car out in the rain.
Tommy and I made the decision to bale on the summer months, odds too great for rain. We are going to do two per year, probably May and Oct.

So if the weather had been better we'd had well over 80 cars.

Over all we're pleased with how it turned out. Sarasota Jaguar asked to meet with me today and they have asked to come onboard as our primary sponsor. Their financial committment was impressive to say the least. So now we have a top flight sponsor behind us. This will allow us to even further upgrade the calibre of the event while keeping the cost the same.

Anyone interested in a shirt, contact me. Eight bucks apiece plus shipping.

We've got over a hundred left over.....

We discussed the poker run at our club meeting tonight. We were all so excited about having a nice time and some of us winning the door prizes that there was interest from the group in the next event. I'm sure you'll have a better turn out as you get this event rolling and evolving

Glad you guys had a good time. Already planning for the next one. We want to turn this into one of the premiere Corvette events in Florida and with Sarasota Jaguar coming aboard as our primary sponsor, it's only going to get bigger and better WITHOUT getting more expensive to attend....


Which club are you in???
