I think those NCRS folks would hate all the mods we have done to our cars!

Is it true that they are judging '94-'96 now for Top Flight. I have been on their site but have not quite figured it out yet whether they are or not.

Not quite; they are judging Corvettes up to 1995. Next year they will include 96 models.

Right now, it's up to 1995 - though I'm not quite sure why 1996 isn't included (we were test judging 1996's last year).

Here is some pictures from the 2010 NCRS Winter Meet. Lots of cars there, not too many for sale. Some people asking ridiculous prices, some seem to be in line with the economic conditions. For example, I saw a very nice 96 Grand Sport for $30K, and a nice C6 for $27k. Parked next to a nice guy trying to sell his beautiful red C4 ZR-1. No serious takers. The car was immaculate.

Lots of Vendors there but I was very disappointed that they did not have much in the way of inventory.

Tip - if you need to order something from Eckler's this week, call them and tell them you want the 10% off and free shipping from the show. They told me it is good all week for all phone in orders.





That's the ZR-1 with the hood up that was for sale. It is parked next to mine with the hood down.

Just do what I do. Wander the swap meet, and then leave. I found several decent deals on stuff.

I guess I must have been on Venus or Mars for the past month or so. The wife, son and I have a trip to the show planned for next week. Guess I'll consider the Rollex 24 instead.

The show was fun, but I too didn't see any killer deals, but at a show like this, I really wasn't expecting any either.

Here are my pics from the show on Saturday.
