How Many Vette Events Do You Participate in Every Year???
I was curious how many events you folks participate in with your C5. I'm sure it varies depending on where you live, etc.
Here's what I do every year:
1. Corvettes@Michgan International Speedway
2. Drive the Track day at Kentucky Motor Speedway
3. Funfest at Mid-America
4. Local car club cruise-in every Saturday evening in Bedford, IN
5. Local cruise-in at a Hardees in Bloomington, IN
I'm always looking for new events to attend with the Vette like the Corvette Forum Cruise-in in Bowling Green. What a great time that was!

I do a weekly show and shine 3 out of 4 weekends (not really a Vette event, but there's usually about 30 Vettes up at the Scottsdale Pavilions), plus one or two other local shows through the year.

I'm lucky to be able to attend all vette autocrosses in Northern CA. Did a all vette show and shine this year. Maybe do the San Simeon run to Hearst Castle next year. Also have available events in Reno, Tahoe and Vegas, car corrals at Infineon (Sears Point), Mazda Raceway (Laguna Seca) and the new track near Salt Lake City (Miller Motorsports Park?). Really too much to chose from. No really big ones here like Carlisle, Bowling Green or Fun Fest but enough to keep me vette interested!

I do about 4 per year where I enter my car, but I also go to Bloomington Gold and some years to FunFest and some of the NCM events. Of course there is the Cruise Nights here locally that I try to make each month March - September.

I participate in Corvettes at Carlisle every year, plus I enter in all of the Corvettes-only judged shows across New England. In addition, I attend just about every Corvette multi-club social gathering in several New England states...will also bring the Vette to cruise-ins from time to time.
In New England, we have a closeknit Corvette community...I rarely miss anything!

The baby, our 5 year old and family issues via long distance have really hampered our social time. My Dad's health and recovery this spring/summer was a big issue for us as we made multiple trips back home to KC. . . . .and I also had to finish my flares.
Other than a local parade we had time for on the 4th, we haven't been to any Corvette functions all year! Shoot, for that matter, my wife and I have only had 3 or 4 date nights this year. On a positive note, my Dad is doing very well now and work is starting to let up some too.
I'm going back to KC again soon and Dad and I are going to attend a cruising main street hot rod/street rod even in the C5. It's kind of a moving show and social event. It'll be a real fun night, just Dad and I. After Dad missed a close call to go meet God in person, it sure made me refocus on what's really important!

Zero because I didn't own a Vette until this May. Hitting my de-virginization Carlisle event in a couple of weeks though.
