Ok everybody, Pray for beautiful skies, low humidity, no rain, great company, beautiful awesome vettes, great mexican food, and if it rains, then we'll have a smokin' tires contest in the restaurant parking lot and Joe B. said he is buying the first and second round of drinks. Right Joe.:lmao:
I'll see you all at noon rain or shine and we'll play it from there. Mark

You're welcome either way. If I had a definite count, then I would have a better chance at getting a bigger table or tables so we can all hang together at lunch. Either way, you're welcome and I hope you and yours can make it. If it's like today, the weather should cooperate and we should have an enjoyable ride. Mark
Please update lunch info
Can you please update all of us on the meeting place,time and how many are coming tommorrow.Do we have a team leader for tommorrow?A drive plan for sunshine and a plan for rain?If all goes well,We will meet all of you.Need address of the rest. so I can look it up on mapquest.Thanks for any info.:thumbsup: And anyone who is coming,Bring your camara's
ics: No excuses.:lmao:

I tried to locate the address, but what I come up with isn't where it's located. I believe you will be coming up I-75. I believe you will want exit
224. Not sure of the exit number though, but it's the Rt 301, Ellenton, Palmetto exit. It's the first exit north of the Manatee River. When exiting keep to the right and head west on Rt 301. You will pass 2 stop lights, the restaurant is about 1/2 mile past the second light, on the right, just past the RR tracks.
If you come to a light (third from I-75) with a DeSears on your left and a Goodwill on the right, the restaurant is about 100 yards behind ya.
I believe Mark is the head Honcho so he can answer the other questions and maybe better directions. Rain, there won't be no stink'in rain.

Hi Classy. Page 2 or 3 has a long thread I sent telling about the day. The restaurant moved to this location recently and you probably won't want to use mapquest. Just take the Ellenton Exit from I-75 like Rick said and head east for several miles (about 5-6 miles I think) and if you get to Hwy 41 you've gone too far. The rerstuarant is about 3-4 blocks east of Hwy 41 and it will be on the North side of US 301. I'll send you a pm with my cell number in case you get lost.
I guess I am the official leader since I started the post. The day is loosely structured and I'm game for anything which obviously the weather could be a factor. Given that the rain is sporadic, I think we'll be able to enjoy the RIDE no matter what.
I'll see you and Rob around noon tomorrow. I'm glad you could join us.We have about 7-9 vettes total including you folks.
Clasy the more I read the directions the loster I get.
You can search for the DeSears store at
1201 10th St E, Palmetto, FL 34221. This stor is with in 100 yards west of the restaurant. DeSears is on the south side the restaurant is on the north.

I'm with Classy:thumbsup:
Excellent turnout, great food, even better weather (thanks God!) and a great run:thumbsup:
Learned a few things about the area I didn't know, met people I only read about here, and was very happy to be associated with such fine folks:thumbsup:
Even the wife commented (several times) how much she enjoyed the food, the ride and most of all, the people. She hardly ever comments
Can't wait to do something like this again. I/we should be at the Venice show.
Mike, thanks again for setting this up and showing us a great time. And thanks to everyone who came from all over to make this a memorable event...

Yes it turned out nice today. As we were driving along I heard several people of all ages :wavey: comment on our little Caravan, it was generally something like "Wow, look at all the Corvettes"!!! My daughter was impressed with the homes along Riverside Dr! I asked her to take some pics as we were crusing along but she was so busy watching the cars as we weaved along the streets that most of the pics were a huge blur.
Sorry we had to leave the ride early but it turned out great,HOT, but a nice time.
Mark...you truly are the "Tourista Caravan Capitan" :thumbsup:

Ditto! Nice meeting everyone. Couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome, nice location and better people to go on my first run with.
Look forward to the "show".
