Default Corvettes America sponsored by America's Corvette Club of Michigan

Corvettes America, the premier Corvette Show in Michigan, will be coming to Alpine Valley Ski Area in White Lake Township, from 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, August 13, 2011.
Corvette owners and enthusiasts will gather in beautiful surroundings on four of the 25 tree-lined slopes at southeastern Michigan’s largest and most scenic ski area. The lodge deck and balcony overlooking the show will provide an ideal location to socialize and enjoy a catered BBQ. Representatives from all corners of the Corvette community will join us for this annual show and the kick-off to Corvettes on Woodward and the Dream Cruise.

Corvettes America, celebrating its 11th anniversary this year, draws automotive enthusiasts from across Michigan as well as surrounding states and Canada. It also has national ranking regularly drawing participants from California, Oregon, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and New York State among others. This NCCC sanctioned show, which is the largest all Corvette show within a two hundred mile radius of Detroit, will go on rain or shine. Corvettes America is an all volunteer effort staged by members of America's Corvette Club (West Bloomfield, Michigan) under the direction of President Richard Heldenbrand and Show Chairperson Jim McDonald. America’s Corvette Club, which is sponsored by Cauley Performance Automotive of West Bloomfield, is the largest Corvette club in Michigan. It is also ranked in the top five in terms of membership nationally. Proceeds from the show are donated to local and national charitable organizations.

Spectators will view some of the finest examples of the Corvette line competing for over thirty-five awards. Spectator entrance fee is $10.00 per vehicle. In addition, numerous Corvette after-market products will be offered by leading Corvette suppliers, and other automotive-related businesses will display products and services, all surrounded by the ambiance of the Michigan countryside. Special recognition will be paid to all registered 1961 vintage Corvettes on the 50th anniversary of their manufacture.

In addition, Cauley Performance will host a Corvette Track Day at Waterford Hills Raceway and an evening Michigan style barbeque at Somerset Inn in Troy, MI, across the street from
The Somerset Collection, the Detroit area’s premier shopping area, both on Friday August 12th. Paid admission to both of these events is open to all with limited numbers admitted.

For more information on all three events, visit www.corvettesamerica.org. Those interested may also send an e-mail to info@corvettesamerica.org or call (248) 788-6119. Cauley Performance Automotive is the primary sponsor of all three events.

We did too. The owner of Pine *** raised our fee from $2000.00 last year to $10,000.00 this year. There were some other considerations that were equally out of range. We couldn't believe it. We have a three year agreement with Alpine Valley. There is a lot of room for a show. Lots of room to grow. Good layout for vendors. Plenty of parking. We probably won't even need shuttles becasue everything is close.

We will continue the tradition of having a first rate quality show. I think most people that win trophies at our show are very pleased.

We have included a track day Friday at Waterford and a kick off BBQ Friday night. Ribs, chicken, salads and desert.

This will be the perfect lead in to Dream Cruise Week.

There will be lots of updates coming

$8000 increase? For what? Were they going to serve Dom Perignon and Caviar this year? That is ridiculous.

Well i'm glad you like the new location. Smart thing in locking in a 3 year deal.

I agree, the ACC show has been top notch since i've been attending. Pretty much the only show that I register and prepare for anymore, given my limited time the last couple years! Looking forward to the new location.

OMG, I can see the ski hill from my house. How about a parade down my street, that would freak the neighbors out! We'll be there this year, for sure. Good job finding a good location, huge parking lot and nice surroundings. Left turn out of the place is the only downside.

Thanks for the heads up on the left turn. Maybe we can get to local police there around the time the show is over. We think this will be a good location. You can imagine looking out your window and seeing a huge field of hundreds of Corvettes. I hope everyone helps spread the word about our new location.
