Default Stingrays Rule the Day

A nearby casino was hosting a car show yesterday with two Corvette classes: 1953-1982 and 1984-2015. I took all three of my Stingrays and wound up with three awards! My 2014 Stingray took first in its class and my 1964 Sting Ray and 1973 Stingray took first and second in their class. Cash prizes were given with each place as well as an awesome chair with each first place cash award. I wound up leaving with over $300 in cash and prizes! Not a bad day...Stingrays rule!

Simple! Drive one car 500 ft, park it and walk back to the 2nd car, drive it 500ft, walk back to the 3rd car, drive it 500ft, and repeat until he got them to the show

Congrats on the awards!

Thank you, sir! I really wish I could have made it to Sulfur Springs, but Friday was packed with work and family things that I just couldn't break away from. Next year, however, I plan to be there!

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing pics of your mods. The money I won will help pay for another mod that I just purchased. Once it's on the car, I will post photos.
