Remember the time we stopped by The Cherry Pocket in Lake Whales? Last time I remember was on the way back from Arcadia in 2021 - Ilene and Bill want to do another trip to the Cherry Pocket - looking at May 3rd. Anybody in?

Late update. The CKCC toy run had to change it's location due to Eckler's essentially turning the cold shoulder to the Corvette industry and fan base, so the event host location, gratefully, was hosted by Walmart - the Distribution Center on SR 524 (just east of I-95). There were only 200 Corvettes in attendance this year and it's believed that the change in location was the cause of the small turnout. I'll help fix this for next year, getting the word out for the host location update.
All Corvettes, classic and new, come and spend the day showing off your muscle power and shine.

First time back in Grant at Corvette Tech this year - cleaned up the shop a bit and made more room by moving the 93 closer to Mikey's 01 and the 82 - still have room to move the 82 forward or move the 93 back to work on the 82 - nothing is boxed in. Set for a few weeks out to build a park bench so we can have a place to sit outside for our cookouts that will happen more often now that the holidays are past. Here's the gallery: Corvette Tech 01/13/2024
