I went there last year with my camaro. A great show for sure. May bring my 63 this weekend. I'll have to trailer it as I run real fuel in it and it has a 410 gear. Ouch. Great show with great weather !

Non subscribers can't view your link Tom...
When does this show start ?
Will they have Corona and/or Yuengling ?
Will the sampling booths be checking IDs or is it like Democratic voting and I can go again and again?

Saturday is the Ultimate Corvette & Chevy Show at Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City. Cost is $30 Pre-registration, $35 Day of show. Set up starts at 8 a.m. and show runs from 10 - 3.

The Plant City Vineyard/Brewery usually has a booth there with their wares. Very Good Stuff! Don't believe they'll be checking ID's if you use your walker. Now if you show up wearing your speedo, those country boys may not be overly generous. (This isn't St Pete or Key West) Believe the sponsor club also has burgers/hot dogs and soft drinks for only about $5 if memory serves me right. (CRS real bad)
There is also a BBQ place across street with good BBQ and adequate beer selection. Probably has BL for the wusses.
It is a high class place, don't believe they sell any of that south of the border beer substitute which has tastes like it has been cycled at least once....
Last year best of show car was not a Corvette!

Here's a link for Tampa Bay Vettes: check out video from last year

Default Great show today

About 200 cars showed up to include a dozen solid axles and similar number mid year. Very few C3's and C4's, very many C7. Lakeland Corvette Club won best participation with 24 cars. Best of show was a 65? coupe.

Default Car show pics

You can check out all of the photos at: http://www.karwowski.net/cars/ (Click on 2016, then "Ultimate Corvette.....") Chet Karwowski, the photographer, left the show and headed up to Eustis to photograph the cruise-in up there. Quite a busy guy!

Great overhead view with the last link.
