I've been getting some e-mail from lots of first timers who purchased the CB-DVD. They are looking forward to attending CB07. They are also looking for info on the event. I'm starting this thread in hopes that we can help out the newbies and when someone asks a CB question we can just point them here.

and as is tradition... Let the countdown begin!!!!


First step for the first timers is, make your reservations NOW. The area motels will sell out. If for some reason you can't get a room, post a room wanted here and keep your eyes on the TC Cruise In board as there are usually cancellations as the days get closer to the event. Good Chevell~abrators never just cancel, they offer the reservations to people who might need them first.

Looks like 5 of us Jersey guys will be comin down to CB07 in the Reliable truck again this year as we did in 05. The plans are in the works. We have rooms.
Boy that pic with the back-up lights on, scares me, but Joe (driver/owner/friend) knows the process well.

Hey Rob,I will be coming up again on Tuesday. I think Ernie will be staying with me. Ernie said we are cooking again on Sat Night. I know Tom will be cooking Hamburgers again one night! Can't wait to see everyone. These new guys just don't know how much fun there going to have.................

Ditto to what John said!! Can't wait to see some of those ugly mugs again..........:beers: mugs, of course.

Can anyone suggest a good motel close to the event? Maybe one where there is alot of action (parkinglot BBQ's, parties, etc)?

Use the map below for Motel location info, the red area indicates "Ground Zero". That is the spot between the Best Western and Hampton Inn where the night-time activity is.

That will also be the location of the majority of "Team Chevellers", DZ Auto Roadside Grill, and the Heart of Dixie Cookout. (Hopefully these cookout will happen again this year). Either way you want to be near the RED Zone.

There may also be a motel or two north of the main road above the Best Western on the map. I"m not sure on that. Check the Holoday Inn and Red Roof as they are usually the last to fill up.

I'll be leaving NY Saturday Morning. I'm going to stop and visit family in S/W Virginia (Radford) until Monday Morning. Should pull into the Best Western Monday at about 4pm.

I'm getting excited, better get an engine in the Chevelle soon:o

Best Western is considered ground zero, this is where the cajun cooking happens and Tom Parsons grills and people in general just stay out all night get fit shaced and tell stories.

Check this thread for a overhead picture of the hotels so you can get a good idea of the location of each to the others:

I already made my reservations. I'll be trailing the 70 more than likely, although I was debating on driving the 69 down instead. I'm trying to find someone to make the 13 hour trip with me. I've done it alone in the truck twice and it sucks driving that far by yourself.

The Best Western is full but the Quaulity Inn has rooms. It looks close to ground zero. Quality Inn okay?

If you can get a room grab it, the parking lots are adjoining so you will still be very close to all the action.

Jeff

I'll get to the best western on Wednesday, I think? 'eh sometime around then. :cool:

I was there during the huricane rains of '05 when you Jersey boys unloaded those cars from your buddies rig. I sure don't remember seeing that much blue sky. That was really cool. I always think it about when I pass one of those Reliable trucks on the road. Do you guys ride along in the cab too? LOL

For what it's worth to those who haven't made reservations yet. When I made reservations back in Oct. I couldn't find any availability anywhere. I ended up somewhere down the road.

It was a beautiful day when we unloaded. It was cloudy/rainy when we loaded to come home. Hopefully we will have 5 days of sunshine and 72 degrees this year. Us northerners aren't use to that southern heat and humidity.

Hey Bill, Can I reserve a spot in that rig for 2008? :yes:

Sure Mark, we need a 66, we have just about other year covered. Actually it's a truck full. He can haul 6 cars depending on the size of the cars, but you don't know how much of a load 5 Chevelles can be till you stick them all into one truck. The ones on top are only inches from the ceiling.

I'm thinking of attending this event, what kind of numbers are expected this year and have there been many 70 cars for sale in the last couple of years ?

My wife and I just made reservations at the Red Roof Inn... I have three questions....Has anyone stayed at this Red Roof Inn? If so, is it a pretty nice place? Is it within walking distance to the Chevella-bration?
Ivan

The Red Roof Inn is a decent place. None of the hotels are within walking distance to the park, unless you don't mind walking a mile or two :D

I have stayed there for the last 2 years and have already made my reservations there this year. It's a decent place, cheap enough, and within walking distance to Ground Zero, aka the Best Western where all the night action is. None of the hotels are within walking distance of Moss-Wright Park where the event is held, it's about 2 miles away.

Hey Rob, I can almost smell those grilled onions at the strip,:yes: and all the other delicious food cooked out in the parking lots. I can see all of the bunch having a great time with old friends,:beers: and oh yes, the new guys walking around, thinking what is going on!. That reminds me, all the first timers, don't be bashful,:o come on up and shoot the breeze. We promise not to embarrass you. :noway: Man it doesn't get any better, all the great people and beautiful Chevelles:thumbsup:

dave

There are usually 400-500 Chevelles registered. I believe last year was 480. As for as 'for sale' that can be hit or miss depending on what your looking for. I'm sure there will be quite a few Chevelles for sale in the motel parking lots and a few on the show field (although I think thats a no-no).

With that many Chevelles you can expect a lot more people (my one Chevelle is 2 Adults and 4 kids). If you do make the trip don't forget to stop on by the Best Western parking lot and introduce yourself.

And just to keep track

I booked a room at the Red Roof on Friday, the other "ground zero" hotels were booked up! It looks like it's close to the action. (thanks for the overhead maps, that helped)
I have not been to a Chevelle gathering since a" NCOA" nationals in Chicago
about ten or eleven years ago. My how time flys!
I'm driving my 68 and am planning on driving back and forth from the show grounds to the hotel at night, I assume others will be doing the same?

That's where I'll be staying. Each of the hotel lots are full of Chevelles and Elkys every night. I trailer mine down, then park the truck/trailer over at the show field and run the car back and forth while I'm down there.

I took some of the Arial Photos posted before, and added some key labels. Not great looking but gives the first timers a good idea of the layout.

I guess it's not too early to start making plans for BBD (Beer-Burgers-Dogs). How about a head count, so that I'll know how much to load up?
By the way, JUST IN CASE Zac doesn't make it this year, I could use a hand for really simple things like slicing maters, onuns, and making sure plenty of buns and stuff are out.

I would go.......but I am not allowed within 10 hours driving distance of Nashville:o :noway:

The site for the show states that 800 chevelles in the show is max. Do you think this number will be reached? I want to enter mine if it's done but, I don't want to enter it if I'm not going to have it done in time so I thought I'd wait til closer to the show.
Also, if I trailer my car down can I leave my pickup/car hauler somewhere on the fairgrounds?
I just told my wife to plan to take off work for a couple days! I have to make it to this!

If anyone needs info on the area, let me know. The list of hotels is a good list, and there are more 20 miles to the north if you don't mind a drive in *** don't go any further south unless you plan to go to O- Land. I am from that area so may be of some use as far as area info.

New guy here, can someone tell me where the event is, what day and if I could park a 36'RV anywhere down there..

They won't hit 800, more in the 4-600 number. Just make sure you get joined to ACES and your application in before the deadline. I think it is around the 1st of May, but I could be off. Call Chuck on the ACES hotline and he will be glad to fill you in. And yes, you can leave your rig at the grounds. It locks up around 8 at night and you can't get back in there till morning, so make sure you take whatever you will need with you when you leave it. Just remember to relax and have a great time.:beers:

New guy here, can someone tell me where the event is, what day and if I could park a 36'RV anywhere down there..

I-40 to Lebanon cut across Hwy 109 to I-65 @ Portland....south to Goodlettsville exit any of three exits...I believe you can see the fairgrounds from the interstate.
RV parking....hmmm I would go north on Hwy 41 to get AWAY from the crowd. Also there is a KOA on Hwy 41 to the south approx. 2 miles on the right...."don't go more than 5 miles south on 41!!!! its' a bit rough. Also any further south on 65 past Goodlettsville is not a good thing for camp arrangements Also Whitehouse Tn is north of Goodlettsville and may have room there.

I stopped by the body shop today and told my body guys I really need my car done by mid may so I can make this trip... It's been there 5 months and they are supposed to be getting it off the frame next week for sure! Hopefully things will progress pretty fast after they get it on the rotisserie. I have to make it to CB! I'm responsible for getting the frame/ interior and drivetrain done... I hate seeing the day's countdown! Wish I had the Overhaulin crew for a week...

I'm going one way or another! I just hope I can take my car. A friend of mine has two chevelles and a Elcamino. He said I could probably drive one of his if mines not done.. I haven't booked a room yet anybody know what's still available?

Right road, but the park is just outside the frame of what you've posted, to the right. Yes, the ballparks are part of the park, our showfield is a bit further down the street to the right.

You're in the correct area...just farther down the street. Here's a layout photo I did last year.

My wife and I are going to our first Chevella-bration.

Will there be vendors for or a place to buy new and/or used parts. I am looking for a good console for a 64 Chevelle and thought this might be a good place to find one.

Their are some vendors and others selling parts, not a huge swap meet but some. You could also see if Hinshaws or possibly Ground Up plan on being there and ask them to bring what you are looking for.

I'll be coming from Missouri along with 6 or 7 other Chevelles. Everybody is driving theirs but, I may have to trailer mine b/c I won't be able to get any road time in with it to make sure it's ready as it will just be getting finished.
One of the guys said something about following the power tour?? Is it going through Nashville like Weds or does anybody know?

I just booked a room at Red Roof Inn today (Tuesday) with no problem. Guess I'm like a lot of other guys, a ton of work planned and only 100 days to get 'er done. Waiting for the weather to break a little bit up here in Michigan. Note to self: next house will have insulated AND heated garage! Or just hit the lotto and write checks like to rich guys. HA! That's no fun! Look for the French Vanilla '65 post car with the blower, will be glad to gear-talk to all.

wow.....sounds like you guys will have a lot of fun. I wish I could bring Black Betty:mad:

OK....I'll do it.

You could skulk your Black Betty in late at night. Then just keep it covered all weekend saying something like "the new paint job is sun or UV sensitive" and I can only bring it out on sunny or cloudy days, opposite what the actual weather really is. Since I'm new to this group, I'm not sure if they accept Chevelle want-a bees. Does sound like a fun group, especially after watching the Long Island Chevelles DVD. Nice job on that DVD!!

For those w/RV's, there is a RV Park/campground up on the ridge. I think it's 5 miles or so north on 65... exit 104 I think. If anyone i interested, just let me know and I will check on availabilty, prices,etc. (I pass it everyday going t work) And don't forget about hotels in Gallatin Tn. If you look up Hampton Inn Gallatin Tn. It's probably 15 miles from the park next to a Cracker Barrel, Logans, Chilis, O'Charleys, and various other fast food and a Wal-Mart within a block two and its a pretty nice area and a nice little scenic cruise to and from the show....

And have you guys heard of the new "Pancake Hooters" resturant? It's supposed to be a pancake house with small chested girls... Opening soon in a city near you!!! ;)

I've been in Seattle this week and got a call yesterday that my wife had a heart attack and was in ICU. I just got home and up to the hospital to see her about 11pm tonight. She will be getting an angiogram at 8 in the morning and the results will determine what has to be done next. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo, for now, EVERYTHING is on hold for me.

Wow Tom. That's out of the blue for sure! She wasn't alone when it happend was she? Man, I wish you two a quick trip back home with some R&R.



Barista. no more nametags, please. PLEASE. ;)

Tom, I hope your wife has a speedy recovery! Keep in touch and let us know.

Tom,
Good luck to your wife. I'll say a prayer.

Wow Tom, I hope she pulls through OK. Our best wishes.

Tom,I hope all is well and the best to you and yours,keep us posted.

Dave & Donna

Tom, I am praying for your wife. I lost my dad at the age of 59 last year to a heart attack. Your wife made it through, so she has a fighting chance at this.

Jeff

Tom,
Very sorry to hear about your wife. We will keep her in our prayers and truely hope she has a speedy recovery.

Tom: You take care of your Honey, Good girls are hard to come buy. I will say a prayer for your wife and stay positive. Bob

Prayers for your wife DZ

Tom,

We're pulling for 'ya, please keep us posted.

WOW! Tom, were are all with you hoping for the best.

OK, we're home. Good news and good news.
My wife and Zac were on the way home Wed night when she started having heart attack symptoms--------------------including pain/numbness down the left arm. She called me in Seattle, I told her to have Zac take her straight to the em room. That probably was the key her not having any severe damage.
They did the angiogram this morning and the cardiologist said there was no significant blockage. Thus, no procedure was needed-------------at this time. He is simply going to medicate here. Also, no significant damage was indicated to the heart muscle.
So, she got prescriptions for blood pressure, cholestrol and blood thinning, has to rest for a few days before going back to work and has to loose some weight. Can't get much better than that! :D :hurray:

Good to hear Tom:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:hurray: That's good news Tom,I'm glad it turned out okay,we'll still keep our fingers crossed.:)

Dave & Donna

Thinking of you and your wife Tom, glad to hear the news is good! Let's keep it that way.

I also like the idea of name tags, has there been an "unofficial" gathering at all of TC members? Besides the picture, obviously.

Tom, just saw the post and wanted to wish you, Zac and the wife all the best. A second opinion is always a safe way to go so you may want to have your wife evaluated by a second cardiologist and see what the answers are. Hope to see you soon.

Question...is there going to be a place we can register for CB07 on-line?

Question...is there going to be a place we can register for CB07 on-line?

I believe it's all done thru the mail using the application in the next issue of CW.
BTW...Chuck said last night he's just putting the final touches on that edition.
Plenty of time...patience young Jedi! ;)

Gonna be the best show yet!!! :hurray:

Seems like there was an application form that someone made available on-line last year...that we could print, fill out, and get in the mail.

I always get anxious for this time of year....CB is basically my vacation each year.

I believe someone scanned a form from one of the first issues of the magazine to be delivered. Guys used that so they didn't have to cut pages from the mag.

Can anyone tell me exactly when CB07 is & if theres a website I can visit for more info?

ugh! i just found the info i was looking for... CB07 is the same day as my oldest sons class trip... AHHH!!! Why does this always happen to me!! Thanks anyway!

Well, My boys graduation day was moved to June 8th - so I had to cancel the room at the Quality Inn today - (1-Room Open).
I couln't believe it. This was going to be my gift to him - a Hot Rod Road Trip w/ Dad - what else would a 13 year old want ???
I guess our 1st Chevelle~abration will have to wait until next year...:(

Well, if I was 13 and my ole man asked me what I would rather do. Guess what the answer would be!!!!

And I was thinking of just driving the chevelle, thats how! Really now, a true car guy wouldn't let something like a few thousand miles of ocean stop him from driving his chevelle to CB, now would he!!

Kids!!!:pout: , I've been asking my 16 yr old for two weeks now , find out when your Finals are? You think I got an answer yet.:noway: They will definitely be missing a week of school, but as long as it's not finals week, they will be fine. We have reservations... but until I'm in the truck on the way down, :wacko: :D

Tell you what Jeff if you're driving the Velle and If my old lady can get the days off I'll meet up with you in INDY to finish the ride to Goodlettesville, after I finish the springfield leg of the Power Tour. Your ride from Hawaii would be nothing a couple of catamarans wouldn't fix :D

My kids school year got extended another day because of snow days. It end June 7th but I have already talked to the principal at school and they said don't worry about go on your vacation. So I will be heading out on the 7th.

I'll keep in touch with you. Right now the plan is to drive the chevelle down, although the fact that it isn't even on the frame right now may effect that some:sad: Our hopes are to put it back on the frame with in the next two weeks, then it's just reassembly time, but I also need some road time under it before I commit to driving almost 800 miles with it.

I AM going so just to make it official, 68.

You guys may have to find your own burgers and dogs this year.
The medical bills are starting to roll in from my wife's heart attack and my surgery, PLUS, income taxes to be paid!!!
I may be left without any funds for CB07.

Quick, somebody send Tom your credit card, those are good burgers. I would send mine, but it's about maxxed out from the projects this winter trying to get the car ready to go to CB07 myself:sad:

Huge bummer Tom, but as they say, their is a reason for everything, even if it doesn't seem apparent now. And personally Tom, I am much happier hearing you may not make it to CB07 because the medical bills are coming in rather than you showing up spending the life insurance payout from your wifes heart attack.

Jeff

I agree with Jeff.

Tom,
I would really hate to see this fine tradition that you have started come to an end. It's been a focal point of Chevellabration itself and enjoyed by many. But, I fully can understand your position considering recent personal events.

PM sent...

Tom, I pray for you and your family, as Jeff stated, it's better to miss one day than to miss them all. If you're still going to CB not much has really changed, you still need to bring your grill; only difference is you need to accept the donations offered to you for your overly grateful generosity. You can count on me my friend, If I ultimately end up in Goodlettesville that week. God Bless. JN

67,my favorite Year!, and Grenada gold!:thumbsup:

Tom I hope everything works out for you, and that your wife fully recovers soon.:yes:

Jeff ~ my kids don't even get out of school until the next week, so we're going to leave them with grandparents this year and have an adults only weekend. Let me know when you're leaving for sure!

Well, barring any unforseen major snow storms coming through again (this is wisconsin you know) we will be leaving tuesday night and pitstopping in Indy over night again. Sure does look like the chevelle will be driven down this year, so the pitstop will give me time to assess any problems with it.

I wish, the project has really slowed as my cam was backordered for about a month. Should be here be the end of the week. I should take me about 2-3 good weeks (between little league and lacrosse games;) ) to get it all together and running right.
