Anyone plan on going? Three of us from Long Island will be making the trip: my bone-stock CRM '08, a cammed AO '07, and a Laguna Blue '15.

Very sad it sure isn't what it used to be...

That said, I'll probably come up if I don't have to work.

Have to agree it is certainly not what it use to be. Had been going there for years, lately just disappointing. I do remember back in the late eighties early nineties “Long Islanders” showing up. What a fun group, had a large tent and plenty of refreshments (no alcohol) and brought some fine Corvettes. Maybe you can rekindle that. Good luck and enjoy.

I don't expect to see many LICOA members there. It's the day of their club picnic.
I didn't go last year; year before was a little disappointing; year before that was shortened by heavy rain. I'm hoping for better this time.

Didn't even know they were still having the Show N Go. Is there any type of show or swap meet anymore, or is it just a few Corvettes running down the quarter mile??

Ever since the track had the falling out with Corvette Express, and couldn't find another club to replace them, it just hasn't been the event it once was. Express did a great job of promoting and running the show for E-Town.

I have just heard that some LICOA members will be there. I'll be looking for their tent.

Did anyone here go? I'm just curious how the turnout was.

Thanks

Nothing like Show n Go's from a few years ago. No clubs were there, and only about eight or nine cars were there to race. I red-lighted on my first race.
