Default Went to Wisconsin

Went to Wisconsin sunday and on the way up there I saw at least 16 Vettes- a couple of C6's, a few of the C3's-C4's but mostly C5's. Was there a show of some sort up in Wisconsin last sunday? First time I saw was a convoy of 5 Vettes - what gives?

Corvettes on the Isthmus was held last weekend in WI Dells.

It's a good sized 3 day event, and typically draws cars from neighboring states as well.

If I've had known, I would've ditch my Sheboygan trip

We went to Galena on Sunday. Went out 88 to 39 then north to Rockford...
Saw about 70/80 sporty cars going south on 39. Surprisingly maybe 60% Vettes. What was going on???

And too: Nice weather coupled with very short summers will also do it. We spend a lot of winter hours in snow laden garages, bolting on mods and polishing.

Two salesmen from Bowling Green KY once told me that the number of Vettes seen hibernating in garages in WI is phenomenal

Nice to run into all those Vettes - but sure gives the arm a workout.
