Here's a youtube clip I threw together from all my video clips from today. A kinda low turnout compared to some years.

Event though you skipped right over my car (Atomic Orange Coupe). Well at least you got a shot of my hood.

What Happened ?
First thanks for posting the video but I must say it was a shock. You are truley correct, it sure looks like a "light turnout". I particpated in this show in the eighties and nineties and if you did not get there early you were banished to the woods. One of the "must do" Corvette shows. The place is perfect, for a car show, don't know what happened to it. Always packed and the spectators had to pay to get in, still drew crowds.
Hope this is just a fluke.

I've been going since the very first Glasstown show, and have only missed a couple years. It was by far the lightest turnout I've ever seen!
Usually there are a lot of Delaware cars, but I understand that there was a show rained out in DE Sat., that was rescheduled for Sun. The Spirits of 53 show in Princeton hurts the turnout from Trenton and north. The Central Jersey NCRS had a chapter show that day in Lakewood. I knew 7 or 8 guys who would have preferred to be at Wheaton, but had to go to the NCRS show because of commitments to the Chapter. I was told by a couple people there that some of the South Jersey clubs won't go to Wheaton anymore because they see very little support from Corvettes Unlimited at their events throughout the year. Though this complaint about Unlimited is nothing new, it goes back many years, it may be catching up with them?
