'Vette showcase at Yonkers Raceway
I am a huge Corvette fan, have been all my life and recently stumbled across this press release about a showcase at Yonkers Raceway this Sunday, celebrating the 56th anniversary of the Corvette. Don't know how many of you are from the N.Y. metro area but this should be a good time at a nice venue. Free admission, planning to go off rain or shine . . .

Celebrating the 'Vettes' 56th Birthday, Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway to Host Corvette Car Show on Sunday, June 28, from noon - 5 p.m.; 200 Cars Expected to be Showcased from the Fifties to Today
New York, June 23 — In celebration of the 56th birthday of the Corvette, Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway will showcase ‘Vettes from six different decades at its inaugural Corvette Car Show on Sunday, June 28, from noon to 5 p.m.
Admission is free, and the event will be held rain or shine.
Corvette aficionados will get the chance to take a glimpse at vintage to present day cars from the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties and 2000’s. A total of 150-200 cars are expected to participate.
Empire City has joined forces with The National Corvette Restorers Society and the Westchester Corvette Club for this event. In addition, the National Corvette Museum (www.corvettemuseum.com), located in Bowling Green Kentucky, will be on hand to promote the Museum.
The following categories of Corvettes will be judged: C1: '53-'62; C2: '63-'67; C3: '68-'82; C4: '84-'96; C5: '97-'04; and C6: '05 to present.
For participants, registration will begin at 9:00 am through 11:00 am for the Corvette Car Show. A $15 entrance fee will be charged to all guest entering vehicles into the car show. Participants will receive a $5 food coupon and a $5 free play from Empire City. In addition, participants will receive a car plaque and t-shirt while supplies last.
