Default First Car Show

I have had the 2006 3LT Convertible for about a month now. Spent many days cleaning and detaining it. I took her to "Corvette's On The Midway" this weekend, a very large all corvette car show. There were tons of very cool Corvette's there, both stock and modified. I am proud to say that my car, with fierce competition in the C6 class, took a third place award. I am still in shock as there were so many other worthy cars I was up against. Great time, great weekend!

The Car, 2006 Corvette.

The award, 3rd place.

Hey "Blindspot!" I live in Fountain Hills and will be there. Will be with my 1991 Jaguar XJS Convertible, Classic Collection. Hope to see you there. I have a fire extingisher but the first aid kit is a new one to me. I did have a cooler full of Coke Zero, does that quality as a first aid kit on a hot day? LOL

Wait a minute - The XJS part rings a bell. I think I've bumped into you in the past. Do you go to the Scottsdale CCs? Is it a goldish/silverish XJS.

I own Jaguars too and might have picked up some chats on Jaguarforums if you participate there. Anyway, I'll look for you at FH in Feb, showing the Jag??

Congratulations! Clean and meticulous detailed cars are usually always in the winners circle at Corvette shows.

A Beauty! Congratulations!
I also have an 08 3LT vert, and when we first got it did the shows, and won a couple of trophies. Lot's of work, but fun.

Good job! I still remember my first car show with my old '87 Coupe back in '93 in Buffalo NY....indoor Mall show with the Buffalo Corvette Club. Many more since then. Just have fun....don't get too serious about "winning".
