Gus,

As always.....count me in +1. This is going to be great. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to attend. I am willing to lead people down from up north, if necessary.

Gus, thanks for having such a great event year after year, I would encourage everyone who has never attended this event, to come out and have a great time with other VCA members.......Count me in for 2 tickets.

 

[DEKE01]

I'm in. I'll be in Norfolk the day before so if there is anyone from the Carolinas or southeastern VA who would like to convoy up the Eastern SHore, please let me know.

 

[Gus Strakes]

For all those planning on attending, please remember to get your reservation forms to me as soon as possible -- time is running out! Response has been good so far, and thanks to all who have replied early, it makes my job of putting this together a lot easier.

Unfortunately I am not going to make it this year. I have to go to a freaking Graduation Party. It is also the same day as the Corvette Forum Crab Cruise but obviously, In am not going to be able to make that one either.

The CF is having a BBQ this Saturday (5/31) at Ridley Creek State Park which is 12 bucks a head and will be a catered event. If it does not rain I will be bringing my Viper to that. If anybody local from the VCA/Board would like to come to that as my guest please let me know and I can send you a link to all of the info. I would love to have some Viper brethren show up to keep me company.

You need to plan on hooking up with us on they way down. Last year, Paul, Joe and I met at the BP in Mt. Airy.

I can meet up on the Virginia side of the beltway

 

[alpine7822]

Isn't there a group meeting up on that side already? I'm trying to find someone to meet up around Richmond and head up from there to the group south of the beltway.

 

[zoomie]

I will be there - never miss this ! with son.. sending form asap.

 

[yellowvipergts]

Sorry that we have to say we can't make it to the Crab Feast. We were really looking forward to coming, but we're down to the wire and now we have to decline. We even had an offer from one of your club members to spend the weekend with them...maybe next year!

Thanks for the invite!
Hope you have sunny skies and alot of Vipers!!!
We'll be thinking of you all.

Denny & Ginger

All is well. Alex is already sitting up on his own. Time is flying by, that's for sure. I was actually wondering how she was doing. Our first was born on July 31st, so be sure to keep her cool and out of the humidity near the end.

Kevin, Be at my house between 11:30am, and noon. We will leave shortly after that.

 

[Knight Viper]

Thanks Gus, I'll see you then!

 

[Gus Strakes]

Tickets along with the itinerary went out in this morning's mail to all participants. The itinerary will have all the meeting places, and times, but if you have any questions, feel free to call me-- cell phone is best. You should have it in the mail by Thursday at the latest. Call me if you do not have it by Friday. Sorry, I am a day late in getting them out, but everyone should have them in time for this weekend.

What a Great Time. Had guys taking pictures and I was taking them back. Traffic stunk, what a great event every year. Pics for your enjoyment.


Lookie Here!

 

[DEKE01]

Good time

Worst part: traffic getting across the bridge
Most frustrating part: We decided eating ***** is an aerobic activity. You burn more calories mining crab meat than there is in that oh so tasty morsel of goodness
Best Part: I met mild mannered Kelly Cobean at FOW for the drive to the church in Alexandria. The trouble is, Kelly never drives his ACR. Voldemort in a Viper drives his car and Voldemort is one fast demon.
Best Plate: Seen on one of those Scion boxes with wheels - U NV ME. I LMAO

 

[alpine7822]

I agree with the "aerobic activity." I almost had to stop on the way home and eat again! Had a great time...will be posting a link to the video I shot later today.

...We have too much fun Dan. Sorry to drag you back to the house to get the EZ Pass on the way to Springfield, but am I ever glad I did, that toll-booth traffic was NASTY! And yeah, I saw that Scion on the way too...I had to chuckle at him.

The drive home was tense there toward the end. The rain on the Dulles Toll Road was just deep enough in spots that I could feel the car getting light.

Anywho...big thanks to Gus and all the other volunteers who made a great event happen again this year. I love seeing all the cars and meeting all the nice people in this club.

In 1999 when I first thought of doing a crab feast cruise, I ran it by our then president, Mike Warner, and he encouraged me to do it. In that year, if I remember correctly we had about 20 cars, and 45 guests. My wife and I are delighted that it has become such an attraction. I'm grateful for the passionate members of our region, plus our neighboring regions that travel the distance they do to make this event such a success. Thanks to everyone who attended!
