Thanks again to the Greater New Orleans Corvette Club for hosting us at this great event.
While there, the Club also renewed their annual Corvettes Conquer Cancer Sponsorship!

Thanks to GNOCC's hospitality, we were able to send $200.00
to the New Orleans office of the American Cancer Society!

Time to clean up the car, socialize and await the great pot luck dinner... and a few beers.

"Cars and Coffee", at Cafe Du Monde in Covington LA.

An incredible assortment of cool and exotic cars that just gathered for a couple hours of socializing, with coffee and cameras.

About 11:00, Felix Famularo led a very mixed group of maybe 75 Corvettes and exotics on a very "spirited" jaunt over great roads with NO impeding traffic! We were running 80+ most of the route! I stayed with them for 100+ miles until they stopped for lunch, then headed home. Thanks Felix!

Final stats.
