Does anyone attend the weekly SAT night cruise in at the Hardee's on route 10 in Hopewell (or is it Chester?) My seven year old wants to take a ride in the Vette so I was going to ride up around 630pm. Just wondering if any other Vette owners will be there. It is sponsered by a local car club, but I can't remember the name.

Just returned. There was probably 30 to 40 nice cars on display plus a lot more just cruising through the parking lot. There was only a handful of vettes. I saw the cleanest 85 on display. It looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. There was also a late 50's white vette and some C5s. Oddly there was no C3s. There was a strong showing of 67 to 69 Camaros and 60's to early 70's Mustangs. I really liked the two Cobras (kit cars) that were there. If anyone in the area is bored on SAT nights it is definitely worthwhile to attend.

I go almost every Sat night. It starts around 5:00 PM and goes til ? 9:00 PM. I go around 7:00. It is at the Hardees just east of I95 on Rt 10. There is another car show on Friday nights on Rt 301 about 1 mile north of Rt 10 in an antique store parking lot across the road from a Wawa.
Have not take my '73 Vette to show, have driven through the parking lot a couple times.

Don't believe so. It is been in the parking lot at the antique mall for the two previous years. Before that I believe it was at Southpark Mall in Colonial Heights. The one you are talking about is in Varina on the north side of the James River. I understand it is still being held.

There was a lot more Vets there tonight. A really nice 80 or so and some really cool 60s and 70s Vettes. I had to drive my mustang because I had both my daughters with me (I parked in the back HA HA). For RMS 73, what color is your Vet and were you there tonight (6/3)?

My 73 is dark blue with a black vinyl interior and I run YOM license plates. I was not at Hardees tonight didn't even get to drive by, I was playing softball with my church team.
