Desertdawg Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Directions and maps in second post below It's about that time again5th Annual Gila Bend BBQ Cruise !!!!February 24th 2007One of the very first ACE events was the Gila Bend BBQ Cruise. Each year it gets bigger and better, and I hope this year will top them all. We get together, have lunch, sit and talk and meet other Corvette Enthusiasts and enjoy a fantastic cruise to and from Gila Bend. It's fun to watch a large number of Corvettes parade into the small town each year and it always turns heads and gets the town's attention.I would suggest everyone meeting up on the west side this year and cruising down from Goodyear. Just reply to this thread to get added to the list.Please, I need an accurate count to plan the food and drink supplies.

3,503 lbs of trouble Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I will be there, Vetteless again, but I will be there.I will also put the word out again to the Vette owners in the DeLorean club. We have one member who just bought a ZR-1, so that's 4 DeLorean club members with 3 Vettes. I'll see if I can get them all to attend. There are also some Vette owners and enthusiasts at the GM Proving Ground. I will invite then as well. Dwayne - I will let you know when I get actual confirmations.

dewey Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Unfortunately, whether I attend or not will be a decision I'll have to make that morning, due to the ORI ending the day before, so I won't know until that Friday afternoon if I'll even be off that day.

Robert and Elizabeth Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well now, we've never been to Gila Bend. This could turn out to be a very productive and entertaining event Pencil both Robert and I in for now. We will let you know as it gets closer on if we can make it for sure.

YumaZ06 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I would be interested in coming from Yuma to Gila Bend. Pass through there all of the time on my way to Phoenix, never really stopped in there and is only a 1 1/2 hour drive. A chance to meet some of the members. Will need directions once in Gila Bend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
