I would like to extend congratulations to C3VR member eurodesk (Marion) on his win at the Hoosier Corvette Club's annual Spring Fling yesterday!! In the participant judged contest, he took the trophy for best C3. Also in attendance besides myself and Marion were C3VR members totop73 (Charlie) with his Red 73 and new member turbo78vair (Gary) and his Pace Car. Tux(blacray) (Larry) also stopped by to check out the field.

In a field of about 100 Corvettes (10-15 C3's), Marion's custom painted car with the sharp interior really stood out. Marion was there with members from his Classical Glass Corvette Club and other members of that club took prizes for other categories.
The event was hosted by Ray Skillman and his classic car showroom. I took pix, but historically, I'm not the fastest about getting those posted (still haven't displayed my few from Hot Springs!). Lots of great cars - maybe even a Corvette or 20 
. When (not if) we do a C3VR event in Indy, this place will definitely be on the itinerary!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Way to go Marion! 
In my opinion, you should have taken one home from Hot Springs too. You had the best looking custom there.

Way to go, Marion. I agree with Dwain, you should have won at Hot Springs. Definitely one sharp car.

Congratulations Marion! Your C3 was definately top of the class at the Spring Fling. I've enjoyed looking at your car at previous Reeves South Central Corvette Club shows.
Take care
