I couldn't bring my 73 but i did stop by to take pictures (I only live 5 minutes from this one so it's the best one for me to go to every year!)

If any of the pics are yours let me know! Myself and another C3 owner are looking to start some kind of regular South Jersey meet up on the weekends and i'd love to know who's all local.

All of the pictures can be seen here:

The files are too large to embed anywhere so i can't post them directly here.

The Smithville show yesterday was especially great this year. Beautiful weather, great turnout--seemed like a lot more cars than the past two years--and great chance to get together with friends at--probably--the last show of the season. Thanks to the sponsoring club for all the hard work it took/takes to put on a show of this size!

Folks
Thanks for attending and the positive comments. The positive comments are some times hard to come by, since the majority of folks do not go home with a trophy, and we hear more about that after the show. The show is about coming together to enjoy the day with friends and Corvettes. I am one of the Club Members that was at the show, I was the guy on the microphone announcing the winners. This year was the largest yet, with 250 cars, all of them Corvettes!! There are not many Corvette Only judged shows around any more, so its a ton of work, but also a ton of fun to host it every year. It's great to see all the unique things that owners have done with their Corvettes and those that work to preserve the classics. We had cars from every generation at the show.
Shows are expensive to host, with all of the awards, and any profit from the events is spent supporting local and National charities. Some Corvette related charities include the National Corvette Museum and the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation, while others include Toys For Tots, Special Olympics, Philabundance Food Bank, Special Olympics and local pediatric hospitals.

We are always looking to make the show relative and competitive for the participants. We have talked about bringing back the Custom Class (or some other name) in some fashion, to separate the mildly modded cars from the over the top builds. We are proud of our 8 Best In Show or what we call Best Of Generation trophies, awarded to the best Corvette from each generation. Check out the picture below for the Best Of trophies.

The event is held every year on the 3rd Sunday in October, so mark your calendars for 10/17/21!





For a video recap of the event check out Dave's You Tube page, if you attended the Hamilton Tap Room Corvette Take over, this is his You Tube channel.

That's a sweet video, lot of Corvette, and beautiful town, and nice touch of the train.

Really nice video! People can't appreciate the scope of a show this size through word of mouth alone. Spent an hour or so telling some family members about it around the Sunday evening dinner table, but being able to have them all see what went on is so much more impressive. A picture truly is "worth 1,000 words"...and more!

It's funny some first time attendees do not even realize there are TWO sides to the show! One on the side with the bakery and restaurants and one next to the carosel and shopping. And this year we expanded into two additional lots!
