That is the nice thing about Bowling Green, it is quite centrally located excepting those from the far western states.

Most of the TX folks have a 11-12 hr drive.
Guessing 12-13 hrs for Craig and Marcus coming from SW Florida
The folks from VA coast about 11-12 hrs.
I'm 9hrs away in WI
DAB is driving in from New Mexico, That's over 20 hours of driving.
Paul from AZ will be there
At least 2 people flying in from California...

For a once-a-year gathering, there's always going to be significant travel involved for most. And compared to most, you're not "too far away" at all. If your '79 isn't a good road trip car, who cares, bring the DD and come embarrass yourself.
You are right...Plus I've never been to Bowling Green... I really can't argue with what you're saying. I'd feel out of place w/o the Vette though, and that's kind of the point of the whole thing.
Sounds like Butterfly may be onto something for next year, so we'll see....
My wife doesn't trust any of you anyway.....Well, maybe except for Bart...
