Nope. Nobody on this entire forum is going to the biggest national Corvette event in the country.


Sorry, I'm a dick. I'll be there with my Dad and girlfriend. Went with my dad for the first time last year, bringing my girlfriend for the first time this year. We are coming from the St. Louis area.

I was real really looking forward to it. It would have been my first one owning a Corvette. Unfortunately we did not realize it was the same weekend as the IMSA race at VIR...so VIR wins.

Wish I was going. I moved from MD to Indiana and I drove the ride twice in a 1980. Those seats are not designed for that.

I was hoping to have bough a c7 by now, but people are being ridiculous about prices. 2014 with 17k miles, z51 and 2LT is not worth 54k when you get an new 2lt for 58. You don't have warranty any more either. no one in their right mind would pay that.

Unmodified C8 of the Year 2021 Finalist
2018 C7 of Year Finalist

Default I'll be there to buy at least six corvettes!!l

Would not miss it. As a matter of fact my two two grandkids insist. I need to add to their Corvette Collection.
PS, and maybe find some C7 mod toys for myself too.

Some people have their head in the clouds for sure. I think used and new prices will start dropping once the weather starts getting worse. I would expect at least 30%+ off MSRP on a 2014 anything at this point for C7.

Be careful! They are cracking down on speeders just outside of Leesburg. I see them pulling people over every day now.

For those that do attend, they have in the past taken a CORVETTE FORUM members picture in the vicinity of the main grandstand. They announce it in plenty of time for you to make your way there...and its shady to boot.
