Default Gate City Corvettes annual spring fling show in NH

Had the annual all Corvette show at the Budweiser plant in Merrimack, NH today.

When I woke up this morning it didn't look like the weather was going to cooperate for the show, but after I washed and waxed my car under some scary looking grey clouds this morning, the sky cleared up and the rest of the day was beautiful.

They had a good turn out, lots of C5s, C6s and C7s and not enough older cars, but it was still a good time.

here's some pics, I'm a terrible photographer.

here's my car in the "car corral" these are cars that are not going to be judged



I particularly liked this '82 for obvious reasons























this was the only C1 in the show



















and this thing showed up too

It actually turned out to be nice weather. I didn't bring the car down but was fun to get out to see some nice cars. I must agree and say I wish there were more older cars but still a good day..

I have been traveling the 80 miles to that show for many years but missed yesterday. In the morning there was warnings of a thunderstorm and even hail so glad it turned out to be a great day. Met Jay last year and was looking forward to checking out the recent side exhaust install.

It is a great spot for this event.

That is a great show in a great location. I have been a couple of times in the past and really enjoyed it. They do a nice job with the show. My only complaint with the timing is the pollen. It's usually so bad that the cars get covered in the greenish yellow pollen in about 5 minutes. How was it yesterday?

That's a great turn out especially if the weather was threatening.
Thanks for the pictures.

Nice pictures,we would have gone again this year but my son was in the local Memorial Day parade and by the time it was over and heading out to the show it was just too late.
