Default It was our first trophy

We had a GREAT time at the CKCC show "Vettes at the Port" this weekend. We got our first throphy and I won the 50/50!!

How much better than that can it get?

150-170 cars. I was cleaning so much I didn't have time to take photos of the others. These were taken after the show.

Congratulations on both wins James

Your C5 deserved the win. I voted for it myself. I'm with the CKCC and we had about 40 additional cars show up that had not pre-registered. Obviously, that made parking the cars a nightmare. Sorry we had to put you on the outside perimeter, but you made out just fine.

Thanks for attending

Wow....that's nice...and now you're hooked......
I love to go to shows.......I like the 4 hour shows....anything above that just wears me out...by the time you leave home, set up, and spend time there the shorter shows work best for me.........and I'm so glad that they're playing more up to date music....that oldies stuff is so out of date when you've got a lot filled with newer cars.....my teen grandkids would come more often if a few newer songs were rocking the parking lot.....Congrats on the win....and next time you need a car club put CORVETTE FORUM......
hope to see ya in Bowling Green.....
Carol
