Saturday, July 26th: A Rain-or-Shine Rendezvous with the Road! After weeks of playing weather roulette, 12 Corvettes and 24 members of the Plateau Corvette Club decided enough was enough—it was time to hit the road, forecast be darned! With windshield wipers at the ready and hearts set on adventure, we gathered under a brilliant Tennessee sun for our driver’s meeting, buzzing with anticipation for some much-needed curve therapy and camaraderie. Our route through Hickory Valley was nothing short of a scenic symphony. The winding roads rolled out like a welcome mat, inviting us to cruise through nature’s finest gallery. We crossed four breathtaking bodies of water—Calf Killer River, Caney Fork River, Stones River, and the shimmering Center Hill Lake—each one adding its own splash of magic to the journey. Tennessee was showing off in full summer bloom: wildflowers swayed like dancers in the breeze, rustic barns and proud silos stood as timeless sentinels, and the mountains painted the horizon with hues that felt almost divine. It was a feast for the senses, a soul-refreshing escape wrapped in horsepower and laughter.
Just as the curves began to tease us with extra Corvette-style thrills, Mother Nature chimed in with a surprise rain shower—her gentle reminder that spontaneity is part of the fun. But spirits stayed high and smiles stayed wide as we rolled into Honky Tonk National Golf Course, where Southern hospitality greeted us with open arms. Lunch was delicious, the company unforgettable, and the owner’s generous surprise—our choice of beverage or a decadent dessert— was the cherry on top of an already sweet day. From the first rev to the final toast, it was a day stitched together with laughter, beauty, and the kind of memories that make you count down to the next ride. Rain or shine, we’ll be back—and we’ll be rolling in style. Many thanks to those to came out and enjoyed the day with us! If you weren’t able to join us, know that you were missed and we hope that you can make the next one! Thanks to Cindy, Sharon and Kathy for the photos!
Thanks to Roger and Kathy for leading Thanks to Kathy for the write up.
After the learning session, the group caravanned together to Fitzgerald Motorsports Park in Crossville, where the real fun began. That’s where the group put their newly mastered skills to the test – and test they did, with grit, gusto, and grinning G forces, multiple times along the track.
