I tried to delete my post that showed up as #1 but since the forum sees it as the first post, deleting it deletes the whole thread.
So.... Scroll down for the REAL first post. Last edited by RedLS1GTO; 01-19-2011 at 11:52am. |

Any of you guy do car shows?
A bunch of the guys we get together with (not really a club) have had a car show they've done for 3 years and June will be the 4th. The money goes to the Marines for Toys for Tots. This thing is a blast if your into that. I will also be going to the Lone Star Classic again this year at Texas Motor Speedway. A bunch of us get rooms at the same hotel there. Man that's fun weekend.
Was wondering if any of you guy do that, or if any of you will be at the LSC this year. |

I did about 10 the first year I bought my car. Now I do 3, the 3 I really enjoy the people and the facility.
Found a new one last year that was really cool. Corvette club puts it on, but it's open to all cars- those are the best. After all, most Corvette owners are snobs with little weewees. This is it, with the centerpiece being a Car Wax companies garage. |

I used to love car shows. I took my 95 to over 40 shows and won 15 trophies. I lost respect for shows because the club I belong to cheated. The gave out trophies to Vettes that were not even close to the competition. These people gave the NCCC guy there for 2nd place and his Vette wasn't even clean. He went there to moderate and "won".
I stopped participating in car shows and quit the Corvette Club. They drove too damn slow anyway. |

I like attending shows, but I do not own show worthy cars, usually. I'll take a brand new car 140 mph across the mojave desert during sand storm season, or drive off course into gravel on a track...I do keep them clean, but even my '08 has two or three chips, a replaced windshield and been hit by road gators twice.

I enjoy Cruise-ins alot better then car shows. The guys at the Cruise ins aren't out to win anything so we just admire each others cars and stand around an talk about cars. This is alot more fun for me...There are usually alot of a--holes at car shows and alot of guys winning because they know the right people........WW

I don't do car shows myself, but I do attend some of them. I take the vette and and park and then go look around. I seldom even tell anyone I have a vette.
But I do appreciate what they do for the hobby of vettes and cars. |

Car shows are okay but i'd rather go cruising or watch autocross races. car shows at race tracks are cool though, where you can talk to mechanics and autobody guys and learn.
