Hello all vetteheads - for the past couple of years I have attended different car shows everyweekend and while I get the occasional trophy most often I see the radical rods or Hurst Olds types take the prize.  Made a new years resolution to attend vette only shows this year.  Is there any sites that you know of that list these type of shows around the midwest?

Vette(s): Frederick County Corvette Club (Maryland) Tan 64 365 Hp Conv 4 sp Red 72 4 sp Conv ..running a '68 327 Blue 76 Coupe L 48 4 sp White 79 Coupe L 82 auto Silver 98 Conv, 6 sp 35th Anniv '88 vette

I feel just the opposite...I like General Car Shows better then All Vette Shows... A restored 1947 or 48 Intermnational DUMP Truck took best of show at one show last year...reallly cool truck..(owned by a guy who
runs a trucking company naturally)

Maybe I'm jaded but while I love Corvettes I kind of like to look at other brands ..have eneough trophies in the garage but NEVER enough Dash Plaques stuck on the walls...

Vette(s): 2005 Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic Coupe --------------------- Sold 1974 T-top, 4 spd to BillKS

Went to the annual Darryl Starbird Car Show here in Wichita this last weekend.  Had some real nice cars.  I agree with Bob, I like a variety of cars.  Don't get me wrong, I still love the vettes, but there's also a lot of nice cars out there other than vettes (not as many though..)

Bloomington Gold is a Vette only show, but many of the weekend shows aound my area have judging for Vettes in their own category, sometimes 2 or 3 vette categories. Personally, I really like the cruise nights better, can't stand hanging around all day long at some of these shows. Running out of places for dust collectors anyway. Big Fish38740.8646527778

Vette(s): 1976 restored,new interior,custom paint(purple),body kit,rebuilt engine,trans,upgraded sound system

I attended a lot of shows this past spring,summer and fall and agree,I

have never seen a corvette win,I live in the NY,NJ area and there is

a lot of corvette only shows and chevy only shows. one show was a

peoples choice show in which the spectators vote on the best corvettes in each class.

I with Bob on this one. I have been showing cars for 15 or more years. And I love cars in General of all shapes and colors. In the past two or three years I have noticed more shows around here are starting to judge corvettes in there own class. I dont go for the trophys anyway I consider them dust collectors. I go to met some great people that love what I love Cars.
