Congrats buddy! Always well deserved when it comes to your Vette. I’m betting you are almost out of room on your trophy shelf .

Great win!! Considering the amount of time and effort you've poured into making it show worthy day in, day out. It makes it really special when you walk away with some hardware against stiff competition. Looks like the event had a lot of participation, another factor to be proud of your achievement. Congrats!!

Congrats!! And very nice C5.

Love the Show Sign!!

if I may make a suggestion (based on observation), bring along a front license plate cover and screw it on before the next showing (if you think it will look better, of course), and then remove after the show.

I had a 2000 C5 FRC and when in Germany, I could not stand the look of the mandated front plate. Looked horrible. So, I left the front plate on and hid it behind my license plate cover. if I got pulled over, I had a screwdriver readily available.

Congrats again.

Where did you get the Show Sign created?

Thanks for the suggestion.
I can't remember the name of the place where I got the sign from but it was from a guy in Texas I found on Facebook.
