Default Ecklers show a good one.

I just got back from the Ecklers springfest and it was very good. The Corvetteforum.com area was filled up with our members. A great turnout from the Forum members is always a good thing. The weather was perfect and it was just a great day for a Corvette Show.I'm sure someone will post some pictures. Here I am a photographer and did not even take a camera with me.

What a great time! Next time I'll remember to bring a chair or two. I got third place for the Street H category. I think they liked my shine. I also think I was the only one there with magnesium wheels

Hi Kevin (fixed)

First, you look fat in the reflection pic.

Second, how long have you had your vette and you are already becoming a polisher.

Third, congrats on third.

Kinda weak in my opinion.

I thought the old school stuff was the best, very respectable and very clean. There were some very nice classics.

Some stock C5's with an air intake and some cheap looking chrome/stainless bolt-on accessories.. same as usual.
