Lots were taken, though, and I'm sure others will put 'em up for you.

Weather report: Clear, HOT as HE** (hence the background color of this page!)

There were tons of members there and many new members signed up. The C5Registry tent was the largest one and was set up on Cafaro's Hill right beneath the NCM tower sign. By the end of the day we had two+ ranks of member C5s parked next to the sidewalk. About 50 cars...

Friday night many of us attended the first NCM Hall of Fame induction banquet. The food was, well, ... food ... but the comradery was terrific. There were 700 people there! Six men, central to the development of the Corvette and its success were inducted into the Corvette Hall of fame. They were:

Ed Cole, former President of GM and Chevrolet Chief Engineer
Zora Arkus-Dunov, first Corvette Chief Engineer
Harley Earl, GM Design Chief and father of the first Corvette
Bill Mitchell, GM Design Chief and successor to Harley Earl
Joe Pike, father of "Corvette News" and the National Council of Corvette Clubs
Larry Shinoda, along with Bill Mitchell, designer of the Corvette Sting Ray (63-67)

Today there were nearly 100 C5 Registry cars lined up in our reserved area!

Saturday was "picture-challenged" too because of the Cafaro seminar and C5 Registry shirt sales and new member signup. But I did get a couple...

Jim Browning (C5R# V0010) of Corsa Performance spent all three days in the C5 Registry tent with us. We really appreciated he and his guys being with us to answer just about every exhaust question in the universe!

Jake Drennon (C5R# V0002) was moving so fast signing up new members, answering questions, looking for Dan, etc. that I could only get a picture of his back. Honest; he was facing me when I started pressing the shutter...
	For those who've not had the pleasure of meeting him, this is Jeff Corbel (C5R# W0315) (the C5 wheel decal man). Lots of demand for his great product.
Here are Gail and Dan Douglas (C5R# V0003). Those on the C5NET will recognize Dan as "datadan".
	Here's a personal thrill. On the right is John Cafaro (designer of the C5) after he signed the hood of my car. Meeting the guy responsible for the look of what I think is one of the most beautiful cars ever built was a real emotional high for me.

I heard Dave Hill say that this evening was "one of four or five best events of my professional life."

But at least I got some pictures.

	First thing Sunday morning and the first thing we saw when we arrived was Tim Berry's (C5R# W0777) Aztec GOLD C5. His car is #13 of only 15 built and that tag, "13of15", is on order...
Here's Ron Bilyeu (C5R# V0049) giving his talk on the LS1 Power Pak as he prepares to install the device on Ross Hanson's C5. Ron worked hard, sweating in the sun- shine all day Friday and Saturday installing PowerPaks on member's C5s. On Sunday he got smart and starting doing them INSIDE the C5 Registry tent!
	Here's Ron signing the valve cover on a member's Nassau Blue C5 after installing the PowerPak. (If it's your car, let me know and I'll put that information here).
Ron enjoyed the paint pen so much that he signed his own briefcase!
	Here's Dan (C5R# V0001) eyeballing Wil Cooksey, the Bowling Green plant manager. Wil described his job to me as the "best job in GM"!
Here's a better shot of Wil. He and I used to be neighbors in Atlanta about ten years ago. Small world...
	Just so you don't think Wil is just one more management wonk, THIS is his dragster (one of two)!
There WERE some fantastic cars here (besides ours, of course). Here's my favorite. This is the Navy color everyone's been talking about. I think it's absolutely fantastic! This one was set up for european delivery.
	This is a black fixed roof coupe (now called the "hardtop"). It had the HUD which, as you've heard, is awesome.
We know that C5 Registry members have a lot in common. But what are the odds of this happening? Here is the license tag on Danny Garris' (C5R# V0075) Torch Roadster..
	And here's the tag on Al Wallace's (C5R# W0983) Silver Roadster!

Great minds (and great guys) run in the same channels!

If you'll permit me a personal note or two: Here's Dave Hill signing the hood of my 98 Black Targa. And notice John Cafaro's (C5R# W0555) signature on the left corner of the hood. (Jim Minneker's autograph is on the valve cover)
	Here's Jake's picture of me and my new friend Dave Hill. What a thrill to have his (and John's and Jim Minneker's) autographs on my car!
This is the club brick in the walk below Cafaro's hill. Member bricks surround this one.
	...And here's mine!

Be sure to come to the NCM Celebration in 1999! It'll be great!
