Car Tour 2010!
THE
6TH PACE CAR REUNION
September 22-26, 2010

Well,
our 6th Reunion event is now history. This year termed the
"Pace Car Tour", it was held in 3 major cities,
Bowling Green, Ky., Indianapolis, In., and the Detroit, Mi.
area.
Over 80 people attended, and at various event activities you
could see up to 50 Corvette Pace cars at each location. We
even had a Pace car from the Gatorade Duel race at Daytona,
several "standard" Corvettes, and even a 2010 Camaro
Indy Pace car in the pack!
Those
in attendance were from all over the country, including Hawaii,
Lousiana, Florida, New Jersey, and many other states.
Some
of the venues that we had access to were not generally open
to the public to tour, such as the Milford Proving Grounds,
GM Heritage Center Museum, Pratt and Miller, and the Target
Ganassi Indy race shop.
It
was great to see those old faces from our last reunions, and
to make new friends who share our enthusiasm for Corvette
Pace Cars. Great food, friendship, and even some nice door
prizes handed out to our members made for a great experience.

This
was also our bi-annual membership meeting where our Coordinator
is elected, and this year our new Coordinator will be Gary
Artis. Many existing board and Eboard members are also remaining
in place, and we picked up one or two new year Directors -
watch for upcoming information on that!
So overall,
I think it is fair to say that we had another great Reunion!
How can we top this going forward?? Well we are sure going
to try !
