car show
Hi, all. Went to an all Vette show in Random Lake, Wi. today. A dealership put this on for the 6th time. Over 300 cars in attendance. All generations. Beautiful day, great time. Interesting observations- C-3's, C-4's all sound like Vette's should. C-5's, C-6's sound like new cars[quiet, boring] They had on display in their showroom a '63 Grand Sport- Haven't seen one in quite awhile! Outside, there were 4 C-5R machines. Noticed the C-4 people seemed to be more friendly, willing to talk. Next were the C-3 people. C-4's were well represented. Yummy. I REALLY like the ZR1's. Sigh! SOME DAY!! Also noticed on the way to and from the show C-3, C-4 people did the wave. Others didn't. Very telling. Mark

I passed at least 2 C5s on the way to the show, plus numerous C3s and C4s, and ALL of them waved.
What was that Javelin doing on the lot, and the RX8.

by the time i was able to get near there, all the cars were gone!! Passed a whole bunch on the way home though, the grandsport racer was cool looking on the trailer. Had the family up at plymouth rock campground, so if you got a wave from a red t&c minivan it was me

Here's a link from the C3 section with a few pictures (about 1/10 of the parking spaces are shown here in the last picture)

Two of our own took first place in there categories. I will post pictures when I get time. 
Was a great show, gets bigger every year. We had the forum banner there, a few stopped to say hi, we didn't see you.

My parents' red '85 took best in show. I couldn't make it this year due to work commitments. I'll put up some pictures when they get them back.
Edit: their car is next to the black '69 in the above link.
