It's only just over a month until Corvette Spectacular where you'll be able to walk Los Altos's Main Street enjoying approximately 175 Corvettes, shops, restaurants, vendors, raffles and live music.

Make your plans to attend and reserve a spot by going to the Santa Clara Corvettes website:

Corvette Spectacular is a little over 3 weeks from now (Sunday, Sept. 17). It's always a great show with great Corvettes, shops, restaurants, live music and camaraderie of your fellow Corvette owners and friends.

Pre-registration is suggested at http://sccorvettes.org/corvette-spectacular

Is there a place to park Corvettes for people just attending?

There is no Corvette corral.

The fire marshal really has placed restrictions on the number of cars in the show and where they can park.

I just saw a picture of your new Corvette. It looks great. If you don't like having your car judged, you can check the appropriate box on the registration form, display your Corvette in the show and it won't be judged.

Deep Reflections will be there, come by and see us. We are really getting a lot of cars coming in for Ceramic Pro and will discuss the merits of that coating versus our standard Zaino coating.

Only reason I am debating is because we live in Gold River and work calls us both early Monday!

That's a bummer, this seemed interesting. I like going to shows but I have zero desire to park in one.

There is a lot of parking nearby but, as Dave said, no corral.

We block off Main Street so everybody can leisurely walk and enjoy the day.

I would love to attend this. It's too bad it landed on the weekend conflicting with the Indycars coming to Sonoma. Since the Indycars comes around once a year and there's plenty of Vette shows through the year I guess I'll have to pass on this.

I first attended this show in 2006, one week after I bought my C6. It sure was exciting being out there with all those other Corvette owners.

It's one week from today! Current forecast is for 77 degrees so it should be ideal temperatures to stroll Main Street, Los Altos, and enjoy all those beautiful Corvettes, enjoy the restaurants, shops, live band, raffle and more.

If you're want to show your car there is still time to pre-register which helps us with registration. We expect to have room for all cars so don't be afraid to show up at the last minute.

great I think I can survive 77 degrees because every year I go it seems to get hotter and hotter. That last week hot spell nearly killed me.
Hopefully we will have more vendors this year too.

I am curious...what is the modified class?

Stock or custom seem self evident.

Stock, maybe different tires and like kind quality repair parts emulating OEM seem to me to be the only allowable changes.

Would an aftermarket radio place the vehicle it in the modified class?

And additionally a different shifter handle, aftermarket interior trim, some addition add on chrome exterior trim, lowered....would that place a car in the modified class?

A blower, nitrous, aftermarket rims or fender flares...seems that would be the custom class.

Just curious, anyone care to add some clarity?
