The shows well worth the trip that come to mind would be Vette Fest/York and of course SCR9. Would be hard pressed to find any better than these three anywhere!!!

Its a good show and decent swap...new owners will be taking charge and they are going to kick it up a notch....bunch of us will be there

[bashton]

YEP...we are indeed "kicking it up a notch!"

The Supercar display just keeps getting better, as you can see from the previous post, Thanks to all of you!

In addition to these fine vehicles we will also have an incredible group of Corvettes going for their Triple Crown Awards. They range from 1953-1982.

Noland Adams and his 53 Corvette will be featured and he will hold a seminar on Saturday. The wild Pro Stock 73 Camaro with the Safety 1 Fire Safety For Kids program will be there with some neat stuff for the kids including a MUST HAVE coloring book your young ones will enjoy.

We dug out the ORIGINAL 1970 Zinger Corvette from our warehouse and it will be greeting you at the entrance.

There will be THREE Z-16 Chevelles including one that is an "In Progress" restoration display.

Pro Team will be bringing several top notch mid-years that will indeed blow you away.

The variety of Customs and Street Machines is fantastic and we have some choice Trucks entered too.

As for the swap, it will be a Big One!

We will have Commercial displays from D&M Corvettes, Mid America Motorworks, Corvette Central, Purkey Vettes, Vette Vues, Mad House Marketing and a whole bunch more.

We will have a Nascar Pit Stop Tire Change Challenge and a Spark Plug Change game for anyone interested in showing off your skills with more prizes!

We have daily FREE prize drawings and we will be giving away 50th Anniversary Corvette Limited Edition Posters to the first 500 spectators through the doors Saturday morning.

There is a whole lot more too!

I look forward to having a GREAT SHOW and meeting everyone.

Thanks for your interest!

Jeff I will be there with my Green Z. There are enough pictures of me on the site (with and without moustache) for you to recognize me. I will introduce you to the others. Yeah it's tough to find everyone in that crowd.

Considering the theme of the event. You should be bringing your Camaro.

[Xplantdad]

Darren is good at introducing the guys on the site...he's got a good handle on "who is who"

How's life treating ya "D"?

We had dinner last night with Bill Pritchard...and are going to Pavillions this afternoon with him.

I won't be at Vettefest this time but I hope many from this board attend and support the show. Over the years the promoters have bent over backwards with supporting and providing the space for the Supercar showcase. Each time I went I had a ball. People ask me what I saw of Chicago and all I can tell them is the Hotel and the convention center..

It's worth going to if you have some spare time. The camaro's and vetts were great .

[SS427]

You will be glad you did. The people are what make the show. The cars are only the excuse we use to get out of the house. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
