Re: NCRS Tech Session - Ft. Lauderdale, FL on March 7th

Ed, you let the cat out of the bag....LOL....Your enthusiasm is infectious.....I love it...Guys, I am in the process of attempting to get a judging point for all the attendees at the event. However, nothing is confirmed yet as I have to go through the proper channels and follow the proper procedures. Looks promising though. As soon as I get an approval of the judging points, I will let all of you know. Numbers are going up nicely for attendees....and more than a few are driving their Vettes to the session. I am working diligently (after I put the baby down) with Steve Torp and his great wife Ann (who get all the credit for this event as they are the ones who took the initiative to set it up) along with the hard working co-chairs of the Florida chapter Joel and Loreen to get this set up, finalized and approved. I will keep all of you posted. Regardless, it's shaping up to be a BLAST. I am also personally putting up a nice, vintage Corvette item for the person who comes to the event from the furthest distance. Cool item.....We can't wait to all of you there.....Regards....ARA....More info and updates to come....

Oops, now we're really going to have a full house. Ara, if you need a projector and a screen to run a PowerPoint, let me know, I have a few.

Hi Ara
I signed up for the Tech Session and am looking forward to meeting you and other NCRS members who I have spoken to or read their posts.
I was telling one of my friends about the event and he asked if it was open to people
who are not NCRS members. I told him I would inquire. He doesn't own a corvette but we have car interests in common. He owns and races an older
Porsche.
Thanks
Neal

Neal, very much look forward to meeting you. I do not see why it would be a problem as it's at a museum open to the public, but I will double check with the powers that be just to be safe. Unless you hear from me directly, I would say it's fine. Though I could lie to you and tell you that he has to join in order to come....LOL....Always looking for new members.....Regards. ARA

Re: NCRS Tech Session - Ft. Lauderdale, FL on March 7th

Guys,
have an update for you. I toured the museum thus morning with Steve and husband wife Ann to scope out the place. What a fantastic museum Steve and Ann found. My gosh. Place is huge and filled with vintage memorabilia that you won't find anywhere. Parking is phenomenal. Eateries within 300 feet from the museum. Covered bays in back. We couldn't ask for more from a host facility. The caretakers are a couple that are nuts about cars too. Super accommodating. VIP corvette parking in rear. It's in beautiful old Ft. lauderdale. Seconds off of 95. Great area too. Minutes from the beach, Los Olas, etc. This is shaping up to be great. At minimum there are going to be 4 67 vettes and 3 other year vettes. Coffee and donuts upon arrival. Please RSVP with Steve sooner than later. Very much looking forward to it. Ara

Ara, I just signed up 2 additional NCRS members for the event.

They're not on the TDB here very often and not on the computer much so I just sent Steve the email request.

Thanks,
Rich
p.s. Any more info about the car being pre-judged? Just curious. Pictures? If you have some, email them to me and I can post for you if you'd like.

Rich,
That's great. The more, the merrier. I have no details at all on the car. In fact I don't even know the color.....I know my car is silver, I know another 67 coming is red, another marina blue, etc...We will have to send pictures from our event to Stricky and the other gents in the New England Chapter showing them the weather we have down here. They are getting spanked with snow this year. My father is still up there and is complaining this year more than ever....

Gentlemen, Looks like Judging Points will be given to the attendees of the event. We will refer to it as a Judging School now that judging points are involved. I just have to work out the details with the Chapter and the National Judging Chairman, but all is good. Our Chapter reps and the National Judging Chairman are great people to work with, I can tell you that. I will be going over as many judged sections as time permits, but would be happy to focus on a particular area of interest if anyone has a desire. I also plan to stay after for any questions. Shaping up to be a fantastic event. Hope to see all of you there. Regards. ARA.

Good to hear. Thanks for your efforts Ara. It's because of members like you, Steve and Ann the Florida Chapter is getting stronger throughout the South Florida area as well.

Hi Ara,

The flyer says 10AM registration till 1PM. Should we plan to be there at 10AM ?

When do we actually start the Session on the car?

Thanks,
Rich

Re: NCRS Tech Session - Ft. Lauderdale, FL on March 7th

Hi Rich,
We will start on the car at 10am. We will go until 1pm, however some of us may stay afterwards to continue on the car - so anyone is welcome to stay after if they want. Steve and Ann are bringing coffee, etc. I will shoot to be there by 9-915am. Safe travels. Very much looking forward to seeing you and all the rest of the guys (and gals) coming. Should be fun. ARA
