:shrug01::shrug01: I'll have to get back to you on that one. We did a run today to the Sarasota Polo Club and it seems a number of folks want to trek down to PG....to see the show....NOT be in it.

If that's the case, we'll probably leave the N Skyway Bridge Rest Stop @ 10 which should have us going by HWY 70 about 1/4 -- 1/2 after with the idea to arrive in PG shortly after noon.

If you are actually registering for the show, you'll probably want to go earlier, but if not...let's hook up.

Yep, we are already registered for the show so we will be heading down early. Look us up when you guys get there tho.

If you folks are just going for the ride, make it a scenic ride. Get off I-75 at
SR70 East, take that out to Arcadia, pick up US17 South, that will bring you right into downtown Punta Gorda.

:dancer01:
 
Anyone know if that Tex Mex Restaurant in downtown PG south of the park is still in business??? Went there last year and it was well worth it...

I think we will head out from here "around" 0830, that should put us down there around 0915 or 0930. Where would you want to meet at to cruise in together?

Let me know...
 
I hope you all win some trophies. Sorry I couldn't join my corvette buds this weekend. My brothers and I will be having our annual reunion this weekend in Las Vegas to see NASCAR. Yes, the wives are coming too this time. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thor... we will miss you, but have a good time in Vegas. :dancer01:

Remember, What happens in Vegas, should be thoroughly cleaned with Anti-Bactierial Soap followed by a dose of Anti-Biotics. :lmao:
