I have been on the Phone with many Key people involved with Supporting the Chevy Vette Fest. Some for the past 27 years.

No one I have communicated with has been Ok with this decision.

While the sYc had a Great Showing of over 100, of the finest and Most significant Chevys, we also had thousands of friends and Members show up and pay the gate as well as support the Vendors!

IMHO...Bob + Vicki Ashton = Vettefest Success....it's very simple math, surprised the bean counters couldn't figure that one out...

This is very disturbing news. Who knows what goes on the minds of these corporations. I will bet that Chevy Vette Fest show will suffer without the dedication of Bob Ashton.

So who will still travel there to show a car is what i wanna know "or" even go there for a show?
Not me.....

Bob you put on a great show & it will all work out for the best!
And i think taking over CVF is a great ideal!!!
Good luck & best wishes
And hold your head high for putting on some of the best shows ever!!
And it will never be pulled off again without you.

Bob...what is preventing you from starting your own company and doing this on your own? You have certainly proven that you have the know how to organize and run a car show of top notch caliber...why not do it on your own and put those son of a bitches right out of business!!!

Bob,
We are both very sad to hear this news. I see it time and time again and it just makes no sense. In the 25 years I have been showing cars both privately and professionally as well as some very large club displays I have never worked with anyone as easy and understanding nor as dedicated as you and Vicki. Assuming VF continues it will certainly never be the same.

Rest assured that your loyalty here will always be welcomed and you sYc family will always be there for you unlike your previous employer who obviously has no clue. Must we remind them that VF was almost gone when you came along and brought new life to it. I trust you will find something better out of all of this. We can only hope we get to share the enjoyment and working directly with you again.
Rick and Annie
