On September 3, 2007: A Labor Day Car Show presented by Custom Cruisers of Northern Virginia and Clifton Lions Club. Proceeds benefit local charities. Last years funds raised went to the Garbarino/Armel trust funds (FFX Cty officers gunned down in the line of duty).

Time: 10:00am to 3:00pm
Place: Historic Clifton, Virginia

This show can hold up to 250 cars...over 500 are expected!!! We MUST get there by 7 AM in order to get parking...this event is that BIG!

We will meet at Newgate shopping center, at the intersections of routes 28 and 29 in Centreville at 6:30 AM SHARP (drivers' meeting...please be on time!) and depart at 6:40 AM for a short but scenic Clifton cruise into the show, a nice twisty jaunt through a beautiful area to exercise the cars beforehand. This area is one of the best for fun, quick little slaloms.

Last year we attended the show with the Northern Virginia Mustang Club , who our club is friendly with. We had a great time last year and would like to unite the vettes and stangs again!

Pre-registration (by Aug. 30th) is $10, at gate is $15. See www.customcruisersnova.com for more details.

Please post here OR email me at lilredcorvette94@yahoo.com to be on the attendance list. When you RSVP to me, please realize you are RSVPing to be in the caravan of cars cruising through the cool streets of Clifton and arrive as a group to the event so that we can all stay together. This event is a cruise and show in one! If you want to be part of the NVCC/NVMC group and park together, then please RSVP and be at the meeting point at the appointed time. Otherwise, if you arrive at the show location later, be aware that you may not be able to park with us and that space WILL run out very quickly.

Directions to caravan meeting point:

From Route 66 westbound: Take Exit 53A to Route 28 S and then take the Route 29 S Exit, immediately turning right into the parking lot.

There is a Joann's Fabrics, the Centreville post office, Fast Eddie's, Trader Joes and a Bank of America...right next to a Sunoco gas station where people can gas up and get coffee, etc...prior to departure.

Who's in?

We have confirmed with the show coordinator that we will get the same lot (Hermitage Inn), provided we get there early. We are following the same schedule as last year, so this should not be a problem.

It's the best parking in the whole show! [B-)] We are working on a police escort again as well.

Come on everyone, the 'stang attendance list is currently outshining us. Let's step up to the plate!

Holy Crap! 6:30 in the AM???? What time do you people go to sleep on weekend nights?????

Just kidding.... [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D]

Cindy and I will not be able to make it at 6:30 due to plans the night prior that don't end by 8pm...... We may swing by later on in the day on our bikes if we go for a ride through Clifton. I know the main drag is going to be closed so where do we park to be able to walk to the Hermitage Inn? See ya!!!

P.S. Enjoy your coffee!!!!!!!!!!!

Fri and Sat nights I usually can't stay up past 12:30/1 AM anyway. This Sunday I'll be heading to bed earlier to get up for this. Otherwise I'll be way too tired...

As far as showing up later, keep in mind Clifton will be a zoo, close to 5-600 cars are expected. The later you arrive, the less parking there will be. Just try to take any road into the village of Clifton, you'll probably be forced to park on one of the side streets.

P.S. - Not a coffee drinker, someone give me a wake-up call. [:D]

Fantastic turnout from both clubs today...thanks to all who participated in the cruise down and to those who dropped by. We filled the Hermitage lot and had the prime spot in the show. Special thanks to Ceece Coburn, NVMC president, for arranging our police escort into the show.

Hopefully those who snapped pictures will share them for all to see. [:)] Time for a shower and Zzzzzzzzz...

Great pics, Mike! Thanks for sharing...

A little of everything was at this show. Plenty of vettes, stangs, antiques, hot rods, etc. The actual cars from American Graffiti were also at the show. [B-)]
