"Vettes" at the Light Corvette Show

Hi Gals and Guys,

Just wanted to update everyone on the show at the Lighthouse in Ponce Inlet. The show date is Saturday, May 17th 2008 ... and we still have some room for Registrations. Remember, due to our limited space, there is no day of show Registration .. all cars must be Pre-registered.

I'm happy to announce that the Marine Discovery Center will be adding a special echotour for folks attending the show. It's will be a special 45 minute guided tour on their pontoon boat Discovery .... Sailing from the boat ramp directly across from the show area. $10.00 per person leaving at 12 noon ... 1 pm and 2pm (after judging and before awards).. Should be added fun, and very interesting !!!! Tickets will be sold at the dock before boarding...www.MarineDiscoveryCenter.org

If you need Show or Hotel info, call me at (386) 760-1048 or email me at offduty1@aol.com... :thumbsup:

Thanks Again,

Harvey
 
More possiblilities

I just talked with 'J.J.' (a nice gentleman from Pakistan or some place close by) who is the general manager @ Best Western Edgewater Inn, located here right on US-1 & Rt. 442 in Edgewater. For you that don't know where this is, it's north of Tituville and Oak Hill (where the Merritt Island wild life refuge is located), and just south of New Smyrna, which is south of Port Orang & Daytona. You will be crossing the Dunlawton bride in Port Orange to cross over to the beachside to reach Ponce Inlet (back south down A-1A) the day of the show.
The motel is a brand new facility just completed last year and is very nice and clean and next door to a nice restaruant & Advance Auto parts to the north & a CVS pharmacy next door to the south as well as a shopping center across 442 on the south side. There is a Dunkin Donut, Subway, Beall's (for the ladies) a liquor store and Winn Dixie & Chick-Fil-Lay in the shopping center.
Rt 442 is exit 244 off of I-95 and runs east right into US-1 and the motel on the north side.
They have a special group rate of $79.00 with a min of 10 rooms for any size bedroom. They also have the standard AAA rate of $89.10 like the other motels with no min rooms.
If anyone is interested, their phone # is: (386) 427-7101 and the exact address is listed as: 101 Alamanda Drive Edgewater, Fl. 32132 for those wishing to Google or map quest it.
There is a convient paved place across the street on the north bound side where we could wait and hook up with any of the gang coming up north on US-1 from Titusville.

Now, for a lucky couple of people, we have a spare bedroom with a double bed (with it's own full bathroom) that my wife and I would love to let somone have Friday evening. :welcome: There is also a hid-a-bed in our living room couch if someone wants to 'rough' it, all for free. I'm about 6 blocks south off of Rt 442 in a very nice quite neighborhood (except for me).
Call us @ (386) 427-4057 if you want to take us up on our offer.
My e-mail is: MrBlue@cfl.rr.com for anyone to contact us for more info or to set the room aside.

I am also interested in hooking up with the caravan as it heads north up US-1 the day of the show, so be sure and let us know when the details are set in stone. :thumbsup:

Ken and Carrie will be coming over from the Tampa side and staying with Traci and I at our home here in Titusville. I'm not sure if the Cape Kennedy CC will caravan up to Ponce, but as we get closer to the date, I'm sure some of the members will be planning a caravan as well if any of the membership is participating. I'll pass along that info as it arrives! A caravan up Route 1 always feels a little like a Route 66 ride...just Florida's version of it...:hehehe:

You tell um Jack!
I was honored to hook up with Ponce Inlet on it's run to CKCC's show this past weekend. It was a ball flying down the interstate with all 8 of them. Thanks guys!!
I missed hooking up with the group heading over to Beef O Bradies after the show...I had no idea where it was, so I had to go home alone. Bummer!
I taught a kid on a HP crotch rocket that not all Vettes are easy pickin's! He's still trying to catch up down around Titusville!:reddevil:
Later, Glenn
