What day or days are you heading down? Shooting for Friday-Sat at this time. Sadly the new exhaust and rear arms for the 66 had been in the garage for 2 months, time has be limited for the fun cars the last few months.
Attendance will be fine, maybe up. This show never relied on the local guys. Many are very happy it left the Chicago land area.

Thanks for giving us a shot. New blood, new venue.
Trying to add more fun and activity. Road Tour should be more like the old days; going thru the country and cruising. Little town of Monticello is putting up bleachers for people to watch Vettes go thru the Town Square. Then they head back to downtown Champaign where roads are blocked off for Corvette only parking. Should be a fun time and good partying at the end!
More support from Chevrolet, more sponsors, more activity.
Give it a shot and I think you'll see the changes happening and hope you'll enjoy.
thanks
