I'm not 100% sure I can make it.



Might have to fly out, rent a car & fly home?



Jim

seriously, I'd have thought you would have taken up more than half the display with you cars :) my nephew just got an 18wheeler car hauler, maybe you guys up in the region should charter him for the week to haul you all around :D

After talking with Bud Scolastigo several weeks ago I WAS NOT impressed with the way our GMMG cars will be treated. However, on a liter note Jim Smith told me the event organizers are gonna revamp what was printed in the past. I hope so because as it stands right now, my #38 DEI is staying in Floyd's museum.

Whats your biggest concern Craig? I spoke with him as well, due to having 3 cars in 3 different catagories/ sections. I was hoping they'd put us at a crossroad for the sections. As it is now, I'm likely to keep all 3 cars together and just enter them as reunion cars(unjudged)

Are you at Sea Bob? Been trying to phone/email you. My concerns:



1. Travel to Floyd's, load my car onto a borrowed open car trailer.

2. Haul it to the event & possibly sit in the rain for maybe a Dime Store Trophy?

3. If it's a GMMG reunion, why a entry fee? How many people have actually seen one in person?

4. Pay Big $$ for a couple days in a hotel room. Why not free camping for the owners?

5. Haul it back to Floyd's and return home to NC. Over a 1K mile round trip for me And FOR WHAT?.. :confusion-shrug:

6. Are any Major Magazines planing to do a section on this reunion?



Don't misunderstand me Bob, I'd like to meet other owners too. However, I get more 'Looks' & 'Thumbs Up' at local car events with my '66 Elkey.. :dance: . And there is NO ENTRY FEE!.. :mrgreen:

ADDENDUM



1. From the printed flyers and photos so far, this national event is CLEARLY geared toward the 1st generation cars. Nothing wrong with that because I've owned a number of them myself in the past.

2. However, this is 2015 & what about the 2nd thru 5th generation cars? I saw few if any of them sitting in the indoor display areas..WHAT THE HELL?.. :o

3. I've been asked to bring my '14 Z-28 with 18 original miles on the clock. Once again, Why? To sit outside in the mud while the 1st gens are pampered indoors? Ain't Gonna Happen. :naughty:

I agree with you Craig. Gmmg car reunions should probably be regional. It's a lot of work and worry getting a car to a car show

You're right Jim, it IS a lot of work & worry not to mention the expense $$. I talked to Jim Smith last weekend and he agreed with me. Said its doubtful he'll enter a car but might fly in to view the show. He also said there are some owners in the area that are working with the organizers to come up with a better plan. I'am wondering WHO THEY ARE?.. :confusion-confused:

I stopped into Berger Chevy and talked with Dick Jacques. He mentioned they're planning on attending the reunion.
