BSeery Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Once again we will trek across the desert to the wide spot in the road called Gila Bend. 4th Annual Gila Bend BBQ Cruise !!!!February 18th 2006 --- One 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. Dwayne Tomko and family host a wonderful event at their home in Gila Bend Arizona. 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.If there is any event in the year that I would like EVERYONE to attend, it is this event. West side group can meet at Lowes on Dysart road and I-10 at 8:30 a.m. From there everyone should leave around 9:00 a.m. and drive out to meet the east group at Krispy Kreme at Arizona Mills Mall. East Group will meet there at 9:30 a.m. and by just after 10:00 a.m. everyone should be there in time to leave and head out to Gila Bend together.--------------------------------------------------------Directions for those coming from Tucson / Sierra Vista area: Click here for a link to directions for the Tucson / Sierra Vista drivers.--------------------------------------------------------------List of attendee's:Well, heres the list so far.

Togo Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 SWEET - the only thing that might prevent me from going would be if i was on call that weekend - but i may be able to have someone cover me for a couple hours!and yes, last year was quite rainy - the drive home was pretty fun - even if the guys had to "let me keep up" because i was in the dreamsicle!
