Lots of fun had by all. The "King of the Hill"? The red 56 running on "stock" donald duck skinnies!

This event was the 34th annual Northern California Corvette Association's WSCC Type 1 Corvette car show and all Corvette Drags.

Have no idea on the numbers, but they ran seven eliminator brackets and the pits where full of spectators rides.

Thanks, had fun shooting the event.

I've run it 25 years straight and look forward to it every year. It's great to get together with that many Corvette owners.
