I know that 73NOVASS is meeting up in eldrige the morning of the 5th with a few cars and I should have at least 4 with me. I'm just going up to Newton and possibly back the same day if not coming back to the quad cities sunday. If anyone else wants to meet up for a caravan feel free to join. Time and location of meet to follow.

We have a group also heading to Newton on Saturday morning. Hopefully we can all go as a group.
Maybe the Walcott truck stop would work for a meeting place. It should be convenient for just about everybody.

Thats what I was thinking also.
Looks like our group is meeting there about 9AM.
For anyone going to Bowling Green there is a tour of the Corvette assembly plant available. You must preregister for the tour and can do on line. The cost is $7 a piece.
