Default Pics from Corvette Crossroads

Finally got around to putting some of the pics from the Corvette Crossroads on my computer, these are from end of August. About 300 vettes or so made it to the show, it was a rainy crappy overcast day, but what can you do...it's Michigan I ended up with my first show trophy, so needless to say I was happy even if it was raining.

Heres a pic of the lot we were in, a lot of people weren't happy because we were on grass, and their cars could possibly get muddy!!! I'm sure they were the trailer queens in the show...



Only a couple other orange vettes, had to get this one just cause of the plate...



Winner of the super modified class...



more pics of the show...



I thought this vette was interesting, very nice....


Here's mine....people next to us were really nice, let us stay under their tarp and have a couple of 'beverages' when it started to really pour so we weren't stuck in the vette. They ended up with a trophy too....




After the show, we all lined up and caravan over the Mackinac Bridge, unfortunately, by the time we left it was pouring rain... Here are a couple of pics as we were starting to line up, took like an hour. Wish I could have taken a pic of the whole field from the air, 6 lines of corvettes took up pretty much the entire area. 300 vette caravan was great, everyone was waving as we went across, by the time we got across there were already vettes coming back from the other side, waving, no matter what generation vette. Pretty cool.





Overall a very fun time, if you ever feel up for a roadtrip, check out Corvettes crossroads, last weekend of August in Michigan.

Don't you just hate when it rains on your parade. Looks like a great turnout anyway. You would not get that good of a turnout for one of our club shows.
