Thanks Todd! I've already summarized this in a news letter that may conflict with your info...but don't have time to correct...going away for a couple of weeks NOW!

 

[AIRBNDR]

Hi Brett ,
I'll ring you tonight during your layover as we discussed last night { have a great trip !! } .... any conflicts are easily resolved , so nothing is a big deal ...... by the way , I didn't get a news letter so I can address wahat the conflict may be ...i'll see if one of the other members will E- it to me and maybe have a fix while your away ... either way , i'll keep you informed & up to date as folks respond .
Don't miss your Plane !!!

 

[uvbnbit]

Count us in. . .

 

[JoelW]

Of course, we'll be there. Could you keep the temperature about 80?

 

[uvbnbit]

F or C ? I'm on it.

note: too hard to spell fahrenheit.
after all, I did "attend" MTSU.

 

[JoelW]

I don't think we want celsius - unless we want to melt some lead (176 Fahrenheit) but Kelvin might work (-315 Fahrenheit) in July! I'd settle for 80F!

 

[AIRBNDR]

Hey Chip , glad you two are gonna make it !!
Do you by any chance have an email list I can use to get the word out about this event ... so far it's B& T , C& L , J& G .. T& P , B& K , E& F , T& S ... if we don't get a few more people ....we may have to invite the { Ahhhh ! } Corvette Club !?
I talked to the powers that be .... and I am assured that it WILL be .... daylight ... followed by a period of darkness .... So I think it'll be good !

 

[uvbnbit]

Brett has all my Viper club (and then some) email addys. Everyone gets newsletter to personal emails 'cause not all members frequent the forums.

 

[Copperhead133]

Hey Todd we would not miss it for the world, will be there with our party hats on. If you are need of any help just let us know!

 

[bboyer]

Todd...we have plenty on our newsletter distribution and will include the GA list as well (some are closer to you than their planned event that weekend)

 

[uvbnbit]

Are the rooms held under the club name? what's the rate?

 

[JoelW]

Are the rooms held under the club name? what's the rate?

They were not under the club name but we'll get a block reserved. Rate is $87 I think. Nice place.

 

[AIRBNDR]

The Manager is working on the block of rooms , i'll post the Code after she calls me with it , however , you CAN register & mention the Viper Club ! I'm getting 15 rooms blocked and a special parking area for the Vipers ! Also , looks like all the rooms will be on the first floor ... at least thats the plan as of this post .

Awesome! Real celebrities! Thought it was kinda cool to accidentally come across those pics.

 

[JoelW]

For those of you coming from the West... I had some unexpected surgery that won't allow me to drive or travel so I won't be meeting anyone. The most scenic route is Highway 30 out of McMinnville. Goes over some really twisty backroads through Pikeville and all the way to the turn off at Todd's house. I hate to miss a good time but I have Doctor's (and Gina's) orders to sit still and not complain. I hope I can do both...

 

[TowDawg]

You finally decided to go under the knife and get that Liberal thinking part of your brain removed?

Newsletter says lunch at 1:30, is that central time ?

 

[bboyer]

Newsletter says lunch at 1:30, is that central time ?

I'm taking that to mean Central Time...Pikeville is CST, Dayton is EST...plan to be here 'round noon-ish CST and you cannot go wrong!

 

[bboyer]

Looks like a lot of folks are arriving early, making the Eastern meetup at Watt’s Bar unnecessary. There will be a cruise meetup at 10:00AM CST in Manchester, TN at the Kangaroo Express gas station on the NE side of exit 111 off I-24. This group will drive to the Ranch from the Pikeville side. There will be directional signs up both sides of the mountain (Pikeville & Dayton approaches) leading the way to the Ranch…look for the snake. There is no particular time to be at the Ranch, but there will be people arriving around noon (Central Time).

We have just over a dozen cars confirmed...one recent confirmation is Viper Cup , Archer Racing ..Team Drivers & Owners , David & Tanya Mazyck from FL. Also have a couple more cars making the trek from the deep South.
