Bloomington Gold, June 14 - 17, 2007
 
      

We were home from New York City for only a few days before gearing up for our Bloomington Gold trip.  This year we're taking the car hauler loaded with the 1986 Pace Car.  It's an interesting combo derived from the need to get all 5 of us to the show, bring a Corvette for fun, and leave capacity for a potential purchase of another 'Vette.  We're not sure yet if we will buy, but there is a medium chance which will depend on the perfect next JetsVette.

Under the Mecum Auction tent near the end of our day, each rat crashed on the cushy grass...

 

We were prepared to buy a car but really did not find one we wanted.  It was a great time for us all and we headed back home on Father's day and looking forward to next year!
