post show-Bel Air Md.
Hi guys, did any forum members enter or visit our show at Bob Bell yesterday? I believe we had 58 cars and about 35 of them were inside. It only spit rain for seconds and the day was just cloudy. I thought it was a good turn out considering the clouds. It was nice to see people you haven't seen since last fall.I didn't enter my cars because I don't do judged shows but I was a judge. The corvette season is upon us!

I dropped by for about an hour. I was actually surprised at the good turnout. Some very nice cars there.
I just bought my first Vette, and I was thinking of joining some local group. Can you give me the rundown on the differences between the local enthusiasts groups? Looks like Freestate is closest to me, but I can't tell very much from their website what they do, other than some OC event. I picked up a brochure re: your group, and liked the variety of events you have. Its just that Belair is pretty far away. I'm in Howard County. Do all the clubs run rallys and autocrosses? Do they ever pitch in for a track day?
Sorry for all the questions.

Could not make it after all since I had to take my son back to College Park since spring break was over. Glad the weather turned out since the weatherman screwed up like usual. Hope to see you @ the East Point Show.

Thanks for the input. I'm glad to hear that Freestate does more than the OC show. You couldn't tell from just looking at their website. I'll be sure to check them out.
Yeah, I recognize your car from your avatar, and remember checking it out. Very nice. I was wondering why it wasn't in the show.

I was there as well, but the car (with it's busted up front bumper) sat with the non-judged. My daughter loved the new Z06's. That's my girl! Greg, I will call you tomorrow re: other details.

Check out the May or June issue of Frederick magazine. They are doing a spread on our Corvette Club. They took a photo of about 30 of our Corvettes a few weeks back at the Frederick Airport with a Jet in the background. Then they did some individual shots and interviews.
