In the past, judges deducted for any smudge, dust, lint, residual wax, etc. At this year's show, the judges will consider such things as the general appearance, condition, color combination and rarity. There won't be so much focus on a piece of lint or a spec of dust.

I would suggest being there at 8:00.
Echoing the sentiment on advance registration. I wasn't sure if my '59 would be done in time, so I held off on registration...sold out! So bummed. Next year, I'll sign up first thing.

While Motorsport West shows Spectacular is Sold Out, you may still have the opportunity to enter. Currently, 4 people who registered have dropped out. If you are willing to wait to see if registered vehicles are no-shows you may be able to take their spot. If so, you will want to arrive early to get a good place in line. If you don't get in, you'll still get to enjoy the fantastic All-Corvette car show.

Guessing from the reflected image, I think this might be my taillights. I was parked in front of that display.


The C5 with the kiddie paint job was representing Corvettes Conquer Cancer. He came all the way from Colorado for the event.

Turnout out of people appeared to be smaller this year. Lots of Corvettes but maybe more people went to the ball game? There was alot more walking space this time. I am not sure what the total Corvette count was of registered cars in show.
