Phil, I'm so sorry. Just stating my observations as I drive this with my car twice a week. Of course your input is welcome (as if it is mine to say that). You were kind of painting this as a WWII war zone and that it is not. Case in point ...Jim not bringing his car was based on your observations, I just felt that I should give a counter point.
The move of the Bloomington show had nothing to do with road construction.
According to Bloomington Gold CEO, David Burroughs, “Although it will be hard to beat the beautiful fairways of Pheasant Run, input from Corvette-owning customers wanted more opportunity for socializing and driving events as part of the entire Corvette show experience. It needed to become more dynamic.”
David went on to say: “Our customers own Corvettes because they are fun to drive. So, we needed a venue that not only served our exhibitors and customers who buy/sell and certify Corvettes, but also a venue that makes it easy and fun to navigate to/from and around the community before, during, and after the show. Therefore, we needed a small-town atmosphere with big-town hotels, great facilities, and quick escape routes to miles of country roads. Champaign, Illinois, has the smaller-town atmosphere, and the University of Illinois Assembly Hall grounds have everything else.”
Sorry to see you quit already Phil, but I see that was your last post. If you come to the Uprising stop by I'm sure that we can spare a cold one from Brews cooler to wash the road dust out of your throat. Craig
