Barn Raising II - Place Your Order

[Iron Chef]

So, for all you participants (and suggestions from non-participants), what kind of activities are you liking for Barn Raising II at Bowling Green? I need to get back to the NCM because registration is going live soon.

Hanging out at the beer truck and walking thru White Castle do not count as activities. Those are considered lifestyles.

Think Cruise-In's past. What did you like? What didn't you like?

Post up! :cert:

[Datawiz]

Autocross :D

[Rob]

Makers Mark tour :seasix:

[kylebuck]

:iagree: But a bigger course.

[simpleman68]

A RL game will be so much better. Where has Laurie been?

She jumped in the other night minutes after you left and was asking, "where's Chris" :lol:
It was a short night and most of us bailed not long after 8. Some killer pots won that night.

Don't want to have any heart attacks.

[Stangkiller]

Don't want to have any heart attacks.

Speak for yourself! That'd make for a memorable BRII -- We still talk about what Legsvette did to Mark (heart attack) here in Tx several years back :leaving:

[GRN ENVY]

Yes you did. Although I got a mega pot against Phil's 3 of a kind with my sleeper boat. "Bam" :D
Scott

That was a awesome hand

[oyealiz]

Oh to tell for those of us not in the know. :bigears:

I wasn't there. I was already gone to a Vette show we were having that day.

My daughter wasn't there, either. She was in Florida. She got a call from a neighbor that there were firemen and an ambulance at my house, and they were taking someone (possible dead) out of my house on a stretcher. :willy:

Interesting story.

You're not at the house, your daughter isn't at the house and there are firemen hauling dead bodies out of your house.

[Doug28450]

So what you're saying is you got away with knocking someone off. Nice. :D

She's better than a mobster.

[Stangkiller]

She's better than a mobster.

She warned everybody not to mess with her shoes.

[oyealiz]

Interesting story.

:yesnod:

Yep.

[Firevette]

Yeah! Rocky and I were GREAT at that!!!


Damn Skippy.:yesnod:



I'm up for it again, but this time the NCM will have to sign a waiver stating that we will not be held responsible for damage to any property on site or any loss of life.

I'm also bringing my helmet, and I want safety restraints installed in the cart....maybe a roll cage. :D


Serious business, ya know. :leaving:

Are you kidding...I think we should have a VetteBarn Softball game in the middle of the race track...just to keep things interesting...or just host this at the local golf course, during regular hours of course.

[Truck Guy]

CAO tour.Only if you want to drive to Richmond, VA :yesnod:

When CAO was sold to General Cigar, they moved away from Nashville.

[oyealiz]

How about...


Mammoth Cave National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (http://www.nps.gov/maca/index.htm)

I've never been, but I'd like to go.

[Stangkiller]

How about...


Mammoth Cave National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (http://www.nps.gov/maca/index.htm)

I've never been, but I'd like to go.

Been there 3 or 4 times, including staying in one of their cabins in the park. Cool place..but I've done the standard tour several times...perhaps there's a different section we could arrange a more private tour of, now that would be cool.

My understanding is there's some lower levels with water that used to be a boat tour..not sure if they give tours of those areas still or not.

[Rob]

I might be able to get a private tour of Yazoo brewery setup if you guys are interested?

:datawiz:

[Y2Kvert4me]

Serious business, ya know. :leaving:Can we bring our own carts? :lol:

Golf Cart drag racing, Bent wheelie bar! Holy S!*+! - YouTube

Plus one for a golf tourney

[GRN ENVY]

How about...


Mammoth Cave National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (http://www.nps.gov/maca/index.htm)

I remember doing that at CIX, the dark caves quickly turned into a battle of blinding each other with camera flashes :lol:

That sucks. :(

[Stangkiller]

What bout the Indy 500 still?

[Truck Guy]

That sucks. :(It does, I looked forward to going back to CAO.
The last tour was a blast. We only had about a dozen people that tour. :yesnod:

Damn. Ok, I got nuttin'.

:shrug:



How about a side trip to Maker's for a whiskey tour? :D

[Stangkiller]

Don't forget the Go-kart track one night! Preferably after the drinking begins...that slick oval is a blast.

[snide]

So instead of leaning against the beer truck you will be leaning against a barrel?

[itsaz]

BTW, the Baymont is undergoing renovations and will be a Holiday Inn Express by late May/early June. They may or may not be ready for guests, so call them if you are planning on staying there (270-799-0150). They'll be operating as the Three Springs Inn until the conversion is complete.

Meh, that's ok we dont' stay at the Gaymont...they screwed over a few of us the last year we stayed there.

[Blademaker]

[oyealiz]

I know some people still stayed there due to the "points" on their credit cards.

[Y2Kvert4me]

What bout the Indy 500 still?Still very interested, and we should probably find out (poll) who would commit to attending so we can get some tickets purchased, and plan hotel/group transportation options from there for those interested in those options as well.

Indy site shows lots of availability (in blocks up to 20 tix), but large seat blocks are harder to find and prices double from the major ticket outlets.


:cert:

[DAB]

i'm going to have to make and sell a LOT of stuff out of my shop to make this a go. sigh.....

[Doug28450]

Make some BRII branded stuff to sell before, during and after.

How about dart boards with all the admins & mods pictures, placed for bid?

Just a thought. :cheers:

:eek:

Must have been the gator in the pool they were hauling out.

Another Maker's Mark private tour with lunch like a couple years ago would be awesome. That was my favorite cruise in event by far.

The food was phenomenal, and I think we all had a blast with the tastings!

Mammoth Cave National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (http://www.nps.gov/maca/index.htm)

Lots of road tours! I still remember OMGWAGBK or something like that.

I remember telling Maladjusted to SLOW down, then taking the lead and running so hard that I overheated the transmission in O Yea, due to her being set up for drag racing. Ooops :lol: ......but it surely was fun! Weren't we in some national park?

[VatorMan]

Lots of road tours! I still remember OMGWAGBK or something like that.

It was the Drive it like you stole it tour. Jackdaroofer spun out and we all hit the brakes. That's the one where EG almost gave me a Corvette enema. :lol:

[oyealiz]

We were simply headed to The Homestead for a little dinner, two cars behind some guy named Gary :lol: when things got a bit out of control in a corner.....

Oh My God We're All Going To Get Killed On Road Tour or something to that effect that Adam Boca Set up. I've got a big group picture from the parking lot before we left somewhere.

Wasn't the drive it like you stole it a later year?..JackDaroofer spinning out, wasn't there some geese in the road or something that helped with that?

Anyone interested in a "Wounded Warrior" event? Shrike 6 and I participated at last year's CI where 50 'Vettes went to Ft Campbell and 30+ went to Ft Knox to pick up a soldier and escort him/her back to the museum and factory tour. It was a spirited run in that the cops escorting us maintained about an 80 mph average and, as the convoy stretched out and caught up, several of us in the middle and end of the pack were doing triple digits to maintain contact.

Also, I'd like to see the "Great Steak-Off" return. Watching Datawhiz pound down a monster (32-ounce?) filet was entertaining.

I have already made my reservations (Humpton) as shall arrive on Wednesday - unless there is an interesting activity scheduled for Wednesday in which case I will arrive earlier in the week!:seasix:

[Shrike6]

I'd be up for that:seasix:

[cmb396]

Put me down for golf, poker, gun range, any road tour as long as it involves spirited driving, or any other event that involves drinking in the parking lot afterwards!!

Sounds like fun.


Limo to a strip club. :leaving:

I'll probably be bringing my limo.



Are you kidding...I think we should have a VetteBarn Softball game

I love softball.


I like the ideas of the gun range, Indy 500, poker, etc.

Is there a good charity ride, poker run, etc? Wounded Warrior?

Maybe one of us could rent a place at Mammoth Cave and we could cruise down there, do a tour, bbq a pig and then head back to bg.
