Default Four C5's on 59N near Fort Payne, AL

Just wondering if anyone knows this group I saw. There was a wildly custom blue coupe (with silver stripes, wide body, etc) in the the front followed by a yellow vert, red vert, and a blue coupe. The cars looked awesome coming up in my rear view mirror.

We came back from Saturday's Vettes for Vets at Talladega today. I'm pretty sure that cool looking blue one was there also. We had a blast!

You should have seen the blue vette in person if you think it looks good in a pic! I would have voted it "best looking C5" at Vettes 4 Vets!

Fine looking ride and what a memory to do that with family.
Few beers will be enjoyed on that one.
Just wondering if they had you guys held down to a speed limit or let you fly at will. ?

I have to say this is one of those trips you never forget. My 65yr old father and mother were there along with my sister and her husband. We all were in our Vettes and had a blast. We had to pull two plug wires off Dad's car to slow him down .
There was a pace car so the speed was limited. I was able to get 142mph entering turn 3, the Vette behind me laid back even more and got to 152mph. It was all about the group and how they ran on the track, there were 15 cars at a time and we had a pretty good group.
Mark it on your calendar for next year!

Very fine foursome. That is what I'd call traveling First Class.

I've also seen the blue coupe, at Carlisle. It looks simply awesome.
