What are the biggest Corvette only Events in the United States? 
Let's define "Big" as over 500 Corvettes.

I know of these:
If you know of a website and/or dates for the events you list, please mention them.  Also, if you happen to know an approximate count of Vettes in attendance, mention that too.

Thanks!

This is by far the largest Corvette show I've seen in the Great Northwest.  I don't think we have enough vettes to pull off a Carlise type show but 300 or so vettes in one show is a lot for this area. I took a 2nd place last year in 68-82 class.  This years show is August 26th Thumbs%20Up

Ya know, their website said 14,000+ over the course of the weekend, so that may be 14,000 total for 3 days, which maybe means many repeats.  So perhaps it is really more like 5,000 distinct Vettes.

The Black Hills Corvette Classic, hosted by the Souix Falls Corvette Club, is an annual run across South Dakota.  It starts out on the east coast of the state at Souix Falls and caravans west across the state to Spearfish in the northern part of the Black Hills.
 
I don't have a recent count of cars but I know the number has been between 500 and 1,000.  This one is on my list of events to make sometime in the next few years.
