Post The Challenge Is On! 1,000 F-Bods At Bowling Green??

Here's a note from our friend Scott Settlemire (GM Camaro/Corvette Brand Team Manager):

Good morning Firebird Friends and Camaro Comrades...........
You may recall that I made a challenge to everyone who attended the Fbody gathering in Bowling Green last September.....

I challenged everyone to bring two friends with their cars...because I wanted to see at least 1,000 Camaros and Firebirds in one location (other than Ste. Therese) before I die! (not that I have any plans to do so at this point in time..............)

One lady stood up in the back of the room and said to the effect: "If we
get a 1,000 cars here next year, will you quit smoking?" (the pressure is
on! I have the Zyban on order..........)

The answer, of course is yes.

For those of you who need more info, check out www.corvettemuseum.com -- and click on Fbody gathering....it is September 20-22......

(for those of you thinking of caravaning.....there is a thread on SSOA.net with some info. on already-established caravans.....)

And, of course, our partners from SLP will be there -- (it certainly would not be a gathering without them) Matt Murphy and GMMG will be there representing Berger Chevrolet, Carl Black Pontiac, Tom Henry Racing, and, of course those dealers currently offering the "SuperCar" Camaro. WCA has issued a challenge....they're giving $1,000 away to the clubs that show up with the most members.............

I hope you'll make plans to join us as we wind down the 2002 Show season with one huge Camaro/Firebird Weekend with friends from all over the U.S. and Canada...........

Scott

For those that haven't been down that way, it's a nice drive and the museum is pretty neat. If you can get to the Corvette plant across the street the tour is free and rather neat to watch. You might even be able to see the production line for the Cadillac XLR Roadster going in as well!

I'm currently debating the trip down. Need to schedule it around a vacation. I'll figure that out in a week or so.

I'm tentatively planning on going to this - however it's one week before M7 as well so that may change.
