Hello, glad you had a good time. If you already haven't done it yet you might try joining a local Corvette club. Most clubs host shows and you will be competing against other vettes, not the myriad makes and types of the multi marque shows. Having fun is the really important thing! Best wishes!

Looks like a nice show. If they don't have a seperate Vette class I have a hard time deciding which class to register for too. I like the diversity of the smaller shows. There's a show down in Coolidge twice a year and they have a carnival at the same time. I go for the great fried carnival food. At least you have a good time and that's what really matters. I say go that larger show and see what you think.

Join your local corvette club. You have a great looking car and will have a better chance competing against cars in your own class.

I'm glad to see you had a good time and met some great people. I enjoy belonging to a local corvette club and participating in activities. Seek a club out and have some fun. Keep your car as good looking as it is and the trophies will come.
