Roll Call for BR II

[Woody]

I've started the roll call for several years over there, and I hate to break tradition.


Who's going, when are you arriving, When are you leaving and where are you staying.:party:

Sounds like some really cool things are planned for the 2nd Barn Raising.

Lets get the excitement started!!

:party:

[Rob]

:hurray: Yamma and I will be there. I will get there Wednesday.

[Mike Mercury]

Yvonne and I are planning to be there!

We're sorry we couldn't make it to BR1.

[DAB]

Hoping to pull in wed PM.

Hampton if rooms left when I finalize things.

[cmb396]

I'll be at the Hampton wed, prolly leave Friday or early Saturday.

[Gina]

I'm planning on it, not sure about the days yet.

[kylebuck]

[snide]

Snide will be there.

[Y2Kvert4me]

Weather depending, plan to arrive at the Hampton Tues night. Out Sunday.


:cheers:

[beadist]

I'll be coming in with the Texas crew. I guess that will be Wed., then head home on Sunday. Staying at The Hampton. :hurray:

[Mirroredshades]

I'm going to try and make it. Would prefer to share a room at the baymont.

I plan on drinking heavily, barfing everywhere and hitting on every female within a 5 mile area. Prefer similar priorities in a roomate.

[snide]

Humptin. Gaymont is no longer the Gaymont.

[Mirroredshades]

Oh.

[Firevette]

I will be there, not sure how or when. Id like to bring my car for auto X, but that probably wont happen.

[NEED-A-VETTE]

I'm in. :thumbs:

Humptin. Gaymont is no longer the Gaymont.

Correct. If you are planning on staying at the Hampton, check the sticky for booking details. For the BR event, they are offering us $94/night. :cheers:

[Datawiz]

Barring the loss of a job or a family emergency, I will be there. :cert:

[Iron Chef]

I'm in. :seasix:

[Stangkiller]

I'm really excited about it, I unfortunately have a nephew due to be born in May, as well as my sisters wedding sometime around then.

I can't commit to anything right now, but I really hope to be there for at least the weekend.

[simpleman68]

Scott and Danielle checking in :cert:
Will arrive Friday lunch time and head out Sunday or Monday.
Scott

[GentleBen]

Arriving Tuesday afternoon at the Hampton
Departing Sunday morning

Gee, I think I've done this before somewhere else. . .

[Iron Chef]

For those of you who HAVEN'T read the guidelines, it is perfectly acceptable to mention CF, Corvette Forum, any member of their "politburo" or anything else regarding them. We don't get all wadded up over things like that and there's no need to go to the trouble of typing "over there" or "that other place."

Just don't accuse the Barn Staff of being a splinter cell from the CF Gestapo.

:seasix:

[99 pewtercoupe]

Becka and I arrive Thursday. Leave Sunday. Have a reservation at the Hampton

Looking forward to meeting everyone and having a few :shots:

[C5SilverBullet]

My son is due at that time, so we can't go this year. My wife really enjoyed last year, so we'll be in for future years.

[Mr Hole]

Robin and I are planning to arrive mid day on Friday. We'll head home on Sunday. We're staying at the Hampton.

[RedLS1GTO]

Not sure on days yet... but I'll be there. Probably just driving home or sleeping it off in the truck rather than a hotel though.

[Iron Chef]

Just don't accuse the Barn Staff of being a splinter cell from the CF Gestapo.

:seasix:

Or the members of being the same old douchebags who posted at CF.

:seasix:

...wait...

[LilRedCorvette]

Tentative at this time. If I do go, I'll be arriving early and leaving early.

Sunday is Rolling Thunder and I never miss it, unless it is raining. That's my time to pay my respects at The Wall, and it's very important to me. :yesnod: :USA:

[Will]

Not surprisingly, now that our son is here and we're dealing with the reality of an infant, my wife has revoked my previous permission to go. :(


It seems I will forever remain an anonymous stranger.


Maybe when BR III rolls around we'll be successful lawyer/doctor combo and have the money for me to go and her to hire a nanny.

[BuckyThreadkiller]

Not gonna make it. My wife has some serious health issues and there's no way she can take an 8 hour road trip. Or even a 3 hour plane ride.

[My 95]

If it was a few days later we'd be able to stop in. Doin our vaca in Tennessee this year

[Truck Guy]

Hmmmmm.... I forgot about the Auto-X

Might need to toss the 96 on the trailer when I head down. Never had it on an Auto-X course before. Not sure it would react too well to a tight course but the fun is in trying!

C'mon!! PLEEEEZE??????

I don't feel like towing it 1,900 miles round trip. Just too GD expensive. More practical to drive the C6 and get 30 mpg on the way up.

It's fast enough, as evidenced by my results with Liz's C6 in Texas, but it can't beat Val's Z on race rubber.

I agree, the drive up will be much more pleasant, and much less stressful, if we just go in the C6.

Maybe you should design the course for BR, then maybe it would beat Val's Z :D
Pleasant no stress drives are where it's at. Plus we could go at a little higher pace on the highways, except through Georgia. Those LEO's are POS's

NCM has a crew that coordinates the autocross. Regardless, I'm not sure I could design a course that would favor the C6 over the C6Z.

That being said, I spent all Saturday morning with Patty at the school in the C6. On the first run on the big course in the C6Z I hit 4-5 cones. That 3 inches makes a BIG difference. :rofl:

Hmmmmm.... Why did that group change to Memorial Day weekend from July 4th weekend? :toetap:

[XtremeVette]

Hmmmmm.... Why did that group change to Memorial Day weekend from July 4th weekend? :toetap:

The same reason many have said for next year barn raising 3 should be held on a different weekend. Too many "family activity" events were keeping people from attending on July 4th. In addition the track is only offered on certain dates. It really was picking the better of the two worst dates. Memorial weekend or forth of July weekend. This is actually be the 3rd year it will be held on this date. Jeff Williams who organizes the event has already explained if he could change to date to any other time besides memorial weekend or 4th of July weekend, he would. Unfortunately as I mentioned the track is only available to us on those dates.

[Y2Kvert4me]

The same reason many have said for next year barn raising 3 should be held on a different weekend. Too many "family activity" events were keeping people from attending on July 4th. You must realize there is a flipside to your logic too.

You say "many" can't make Memorial day weekend, yet I already see BRII registrations exceeding 100 this year, and 7 in the other thread stated they can't make it due to family commitments that particular weekend.

So say we accommodate those 7 people, and quit listening the ones that can and have attended the past several years. If we change it and future attendance drops, did we really do better? :skep:

Anyone planning something like this must always look at the big picture and can't just focus on specific reasons that may keep a few from attending. We can never make everyone happy, so we must choose majority consensus.

Corvetteforum may use this bullshit excuse as the primary reason CI failed, yet even your own personal reason isn't supporting that theory. You're choosing to attend another event in a different part of the country that's being held concurrently, so it sounds like you don't have "family activity" conflicts either.
You want to go drive your car on a track, others want to spend time with their longtime forum friends. Two very different aspirations.

BRII is quickly shaping up to eclipse what CI-12 attendance was, and that will prove timing, economy, and gas prices aren't quite the underlying reasons CI is no more. We can't advertise our event to 300,000 members either.

If even 10% of our forum shows up, I would consider that an outstanding success, even though the raw numbers may not seem impressive. Quality over quantity, it's why we're here.

This is not to say we won't change the dates in the future, but we will consider ALL input and go from there, and past attendance must be considered quality input too. :yesnod:

Well said, we have met before. Not sure if you remember me from funfest a few years back. For myself yes...correct...my passion is racing. For others like you stated...would be attending a great event like this one. All I was trying to say was that by changing the date you might get some people to go that otherwise could not. I think you would be taking more a risk by moving the venue to a different location vs changing the date. That has already started a discussion in a different thread I been following. As far as Corvette forum goes I could give a sh?@ less as to why it failed. Everybody has their own opinions on that one...was not on here to bring up the past relating CorvetteForums CI to the Barn Raising. I go on here to catch up with some old friends.

[Y2Kvert4me]

Absolutely agree with what you say here, but I also see what you say there too. You seem to paraphrase Jim quite often and take a strong interest in rebuilding a possible future CI event, whereas I do not.

Of course I remember you Jeff, and I am not bitching at you either. You do raise valid points, I raised some more in return from a much different perspective. I attended six CI's, I know what they were, and I was also there to see what they dissolved to. I'm pretty sure I know why, and now it's our time to fix it, so to speak.

CI was once my absolute favorite event of the year, and many of the members here are my closest friends. Those who feel the same are very excited to do it again this year, and for more in the future. All we can do now to resurrect the event concept is to repair the damage done, which wasn't our doing.

Hope to see you in the future, my comments are nothing towards you personally, other than advising you to not believe the hype sometimes. :)

THIS. X100000 :seasix:

This is one of those rare occasions that I'll pat myself on the back...for a reason. As I said in another thread, I've planned CI-X, BR I, BR II and a precursor to BR I. I put an awful lot of work into making sure that those four events were and are successful. So when someone goes into a thread at CF knowing that we have announced BR II and makes a misleading statement that no event is on the calendar for May, then comes in here and talks about "our great event"...well...I get a little chapped.

It's clear that a few folks are upset over the fact that Cruise-In is dead. I count myself among those as I had many great times at the three I attended. But that's no reason to downplay another group thats trying to carry the torch because you feel you've been shafted.

No disrespect intended here, but sometimes, it's better to say nothing at all.

In for the Roll Call - arr Fri early, dep Sun late, staying at the Hampton.

Arriving via Delta and National instead of the 2010 GS, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made!

I will be sure to bring some California Sunshine!

Too bad you're not coming sooner. I'm leaving on Wednesday, most likely out of LAX.

I'll be sending a group PM to some CF members based on past CI attendance. Will be letting them know that NCM is sponsoring an event and will direct them to the NCM schedule, this thread and the hotel discount thread. :cheers:

You DO remember our back and forth banter going into the event where I almost killed myself falling off of your trailer don't you? You were certainly confident going in that it was your event.

[Datawiz]

Are you going to force me to look up our posts on CF leading up to that event? Do you seriously not remember chiding me going into that race? We had a great back-n-forth testosterone banter going into the first race, which I won. Hence, why I was kinda taken aback in the 2nd meeting when I was egging you on in person. It was always playful banter on my part. It was never meant to be derogatory.

You know we are both extremely fast, talented drivers, but you seem to have forgotten our back-n-forth leading up to the first meeting. I would have never been so arrogant with you leading up to the 2nd meeting, had you not set the precedent in the first event.

Regardless, it's all good. I like you very much Val, and we both went in different directions in our driving prowess. You are a road race ace, and I've stuck to perfecting autocross.

We complete each other. :D

[Loco Vette]

Nope. I didn't. But in the interest of complete honesty, I did reply in this thread Cruise-In 9 Autocross Smack Down - Corvette Forum (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/national-events/2028512-cruise-in-9-autocross-smack-down.html) which was started with that purpose in mind, and deliberatley set up a bet I knew I would lose to donate to St. Judes. Been reading a bunch of old threads that make me miss the old days tho!

Having been beaten by Dave in a C3 and Russ in a C4, I have learned never to be arrogant about autocrossing. In all honesty, if you can find anything I posted anything like that I willl sincerely apologize and add that to my list of self-improvement issues.

On a bright note, the interview went extremely well with the company in New York. They are now checking my references. A job that I thought was out for me in Sarasota now appears to still be on the table. They started checking my references today, and will hopefully be done by tomorrow.

I hope something hits soon.
