Eckler's 29th Reunion

Jim I think that's great. I'd love to know where all our buds are. I wanna go say hi to all!

Ken

Chart is coming together. I know there is more out there. I will post this list before heading to Orlando and have copies at space G2. Let's make it easy to find each other. Either post you space here or send me a PM.
 
Parking for this event will be a nightmare.There is very little parking as it is, and special events forget it..I think that if the Old Town thing didn't work for Ecklers they should go back to the original, a lot more room!

Visitor parking may be an issue, but the parking for the 200 entranst has all been planned and arranged. All classes are grouped together and each car within it's class has an assigned parking space.

Classes will be parked on the street sides on the main stretch approaching the resturants as well as the street sides along the perimeter of the waterfront area.

The Old Town show last year was pretty nice, though there were some issues arose. Old Town dropped the ball on reserving areas for the show cars to be parked, thus the over flow in adjacent areas. Second the dust and wind didn't meld well together.

I think that if the Old Town thing didn't work for Ecklers they should go back to the original, a lot more room!

Ah, by that if you are referring to what was coined as "the parking lot" don't be suprised if future reunions will be right back at home in T-ville. Eckler's has been moving their offices back into their former showroom (aka the big glass building). One nice thing about having the reunions there? Space. Lots of it. Notice last year (as well as this year) the reunions lack the corrals, "for sale areas", tech seminars and other traditional reunion features....
 
Ralph Eckler myself and ask WHAZTHEPROB!!

Still don't quite get exactly where the show is in Celebration.
There's quite a few places that can hold event's there.
I know the area very well, have done some work there as well.
Must be a secret. LOL:yesnod:

Would you be suprised if Ralph said he has no idea? Afterall, Ralph hasn't been involved with the company in over a decade...

Seriously though, they knew where they were going to park the show cars. But I think they were waiting for the cutoff (the 200 entries) to assign which classes would be parked where. Afterall everyone will have an assigned parking area (or space). If you go in Friday you will be parked and already be parked for Saturday. If you arrive Saturday you will be directed to your parking spot.

Also Eckler's has been moving offcies back into their former showroom. While I don't think it contributed to the registration packet delay (registration only closed 2 weeks ago) it may have thrown in another wrench for the reunion planners.
 
Just got are package,parking space I 10,where ever that may be:shrug01:,Still debating on staying the night there,will let you all know,Be nice to see Ray And Angel there,wont be the same with out them.
 
Sorry Rob.....not this year. Just can't seem to get our schedule to jive with some of the shows. BTW I sold my Vette couple of weeks ago....so it'll just be Rays baby at shows from now on. Hope you guys are well.....tell Mary we said "Hi".
 
Thanks for the up date Vette 87..........however

I'm well aware that Ralph, his brother Bobby, Rich Kramer and the nearly entire lot of orginal Ecklers Corvette are no longer with Eckler's present day.
Was only joking in earlier post.
But, again, thanks for your up dated post on the Reunion.
From what I've read in the last few post, the area for the show cars should be a very nice setting around the shop's there in Celebration. also as I'd mentioned in earlier post about the Celebration Hotel, all the shops are located just in front of this same hotel, as well as the lake front there.
Parking lot's are found directly behind these shop's.
 
Would like to know WHO from east coast, and those going

to the reunion from Orlando area, are going on either Friday or Saturday.
Thinking maybe we could meet up and Caravan over together.
Am making up a Spiceman CorvetteFla cover sheet for the dash of my Vette.

Called Eckler's yesterday to purchase a few parts. My intent was to have them bring them to the show as they have done in the past. Somewhat to my disapointment I was told they are not doing that this year. However they did advise that they were doing the 10% off and free shipping as always.

Oh well I guess that's just big business, I guess.

I am going to try to attach an excel file Thursday. I will have copies at my car (G2) if you can not print or I can't figure out how to attach.
 
Glad you were joking Spiceman...

There are those, however, that think Ralph still has an office there running the show...

I recall when I bumped into Ralph several years back at a gas station. He was wearing an Eckler's reunion shirt, but I won't mention on this forum what kind of vehicle he was driving :ack2: I didn't give him any crap about it, but did say hi and talk to him for a bit.
