Hi Guys,
Hope the weather will hold up. I will be too busy to reschedule the event as the rest of my April is jammed. If, however, this ride is a success, I'd like to plan another ride later in the season as well.
Event info will also be posted on my website:
www.nevoav.vpweb.com
Traveling from Lower Fairfield County to East Haddam (Gillette Castle State Park) then to Mohegan Sun, Montville, CT for Lunch/Early Dinner.
Hope all will join us in this fun filled driving event. This is mostly a cobra event; however, if our friends with other roadsters, vettes, classic mustangs, or hotrods wish to join us they are welcome. It’s a nice way to kick off the driving season.
