Nice pics,,thanks for posting!! LOTS of green showing in areas that used to be packed with cars way past the flag pole in the past!! Glad you got your pics before the rain,,most of that area had anywhere from 1/4" to 1-1/4" of water
!!Had fun,,wasn't worth the money though, IMO!! Less cars,less vendors,,and while the show was pretty good,it was nowhere as good as the free REO show a few years ago!!

Had a great time as well. It was a definitely a mess during and after the rain storm, especially when you're in the middle of a field under your tent trying to keep it from blowing away and hoping you don't get struck by lightning at the same time. 
Still had a fun time, though.
Luckily, no one in the corvette forum parking area got stuck in the mud.

I must say....anyone get an aerial shot? Was the copter even flying this year? From those pictures attendance definitely looks way down compared to last year! Guess the money and late promotion of the event didn't work out like a lot figured...Oh well..glad you all had a good time!
I would love to have a low mileage GS

atteneance was down. they had a couple of screw-ups and some rude parkers. for 25$ you ought to be able to park closer, there were a lot of spaces left forthe higher cost "guests" that were not used. the club parking was not really well marked and FAR away from anything.
