We chose August right before Dream Cruise. How did you like the DVD on last years Dream Cruise I gave you? If you are interested I will tell you about our show.

I attended one this past Sunday and I have another one this coming Sunday. The weather has been perfect over the last 5-6 years.

That is a hard question to answer. I would say August simply because you have the least chance of rain. Only down side is there are very few weekends in July or August that don't have a car show on them already (at least around here).

Late Summer or Spring on any weekend that does not conflick with a N.C.C.C. event. That is if you want a Corvette only event. We usually had our Concourse in the early spring and it was not uncommon to have 60 and up Corvettes. We have put on over 30 shows over the years and found this was the best way.

My vote is September as everybody has there car out, the end of the season is near so people are getting antsy (getting their last hoorahs in) and taking adavantage of perfect 60 to 70 degree sunny temps. When there is a day car show anything above 78 and sunny really gets too hot in the summer and September is probably the most comfortable day time weather of the year!

Typically somewhere around August would be best since the chance of rain seems to be less. However, it can get very hot then. I liked going to shows in September since it usually cools down a bit by then.
