I like the show and have been every year, but my biggest complaint is how the cars are parked. To be fair to all participants, the cars should be parked according to their category, such as C1 or C2 etc. or modified or custom. It makes it sooooo easy to vote when you can look up and down the rows and vote for that particular category, instead of roaming all over the grounds trying to remember what you've seen. I'm sure most voters just see a nice car in a particular category and vote for it, instead of looking at all the cars first, to be fair. People just get tired of roaming around and trying to vote on sooo many cars and that's not fair I've heard and seen people do that. I've heard that people like to park together and thats why the categories are so scattered, but Ocean City Md. show parks the cars in categories and it's very easy and enjoyable to vote. Three of us got there early last year and was parked all the way in the back and not many voters came back there probably because they already picked their cars up front. The voting is just frustrating! I'm done!
Lansdale, Hatboro and Doylestown's car shows are HUGE ... but they do not line up Corvettes by year (or generation). Some Corvettes are parked together ... but not all.
When I walk through the field, I make notations of various cars I like. I do not cast my vote right away. Regardless, how many people are showing up to the show, JUST to vote for a car? NONE (so far as I can tell)! People are either registrants ... in which case, they are there for the whole day. If they are a spectator ... let them meander around the grounds!

I'm really looking forward to this event. I can't thank the attendees, show-goers the volunteers and sponsors for helping raise money and awareness for something so close to my heart - the CHIP MILLER CHARITABLE FOUNDATION. Amyloidosis is a terrible disease and we're thankful the Corvette community continues to support the cause. Thank you for helping us make a difference. I'm eager to see everyone on Sunday at:
Thomas Car Central (old Thomas Chevrolet site)
1010 West Chester Pike
(Corner of Route 3 and 202)
West Chester, PA 19380
Life is good,
