Anytime! - Join the Old Guys Lunch runs during the week when the Roads and Restaurants aren't crowded!
Do you wanna' drive your Vette' more often?
Do you have time during the normal work-week?
Do you like to go out for brunch or lunch? Ok then, this is for you!
Quite a few Cameron Park Corvette Club members are retired, and we try to get ourselves, and our cars, "our to lunch (or brunch)" every week or so.
Of course that's always dependent on the old weather. This is NOT a highly organized event, just a fun get-together, usually including our significant others, so it's more social that technical. To that end, I would like to develop an e-mail list of those that would like to be notified, and possibly join us.
This is an invitation to members, as well as non-members that would like to see what we are all about before joining our club, or for just something to do during the week. I think you would really enjoy rubbing shoulders with a bunch of fun loving and informed Vette' folks.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email Rick and he will add you to the notification list, no obligation to attend anything. And, we DO NOT SELL OR SHARE e-mail addresses with ANYONE.

bulletApril 20 - 22  17th Annual Gambler's Classic - Riverside Resort, Laughlin, NV                      No Club Host at this time
Happy New Year from Corvettes of Bakersfield.

We wanted to send out a reminder to our 2011 participants about the 17th Annual Gambler's Classic coming up in April at Laughlin. We finished the holidays with 72 registrations received, so we currently have plenty of available space. With that said, in past years most of the registrations come rolling in after the holidays and we can only offer the "full program" to the first 300 registrations. Last year we had 242 corvettes register for the Gambler's Classic and this year we have a few new clubs participating ... so it is possible we might hit or exceed 300 Corvettes this year.

If you plan on joining us this year, we suggest that you not wait until the last minute so that you can be assured of the full show (including the Friday night dinner show). We have finalized our entertainment for Friday night and it includes a live band, a hypnotist and finally Elvis. A pretty crazy mix of entertainment ... but should be a full night of fun.

One final note. We have found out that the Riverside Resort is having a Saturday evening Doobie Brothers concert in the outdoor amphitheatre. If you are Doobie Brothers fans and would like to attend the concert, it begins about an hour or so after our awards ceremony ends. It is also important for you to make sure to get your hotel reservations made early because they expect the hotel to be sold out for the weekend.

Information on the Gambler's Classic can be found at corvettesofbakersfield.org.  Links to the event schedule, hotel registration, car show registration, etc. can be found on the page.

If you have any questions please call Ken Taylor at (661) 578-2388 or Steve Taylor at (661) 809-6464.

We hope to see you in April.  
Ken and Steve Taylor, Gambler's Classic Co-Chairs
