Yes sir!

We will be there for our first show as a vendor! Stop by and say hello! I'm sure there are a bunch of local people going.. last time I was there I met a ton of CF members who were there from out of state...

I went to the last one and it was pretty cool. I'll be doing the Audi Club DE (with the Z06) at the Autobahn Country Club that weekend, so I won't be able to make this one.

I'll be there, but with my V8 Vega. My Vette isn't quite good enough to show at a place like Vettefest. It'll be my first time there to show, I'm looking forward to it.

I'll be there. I typically spend more time checking out vendors and swap meet stuff than looking at cars. Hopefully, there will be more on hand than the fall vette fest. The turn out was disappointing.

OK - please go easy on me.

I guess I can figure out what it is, but when and where is it?

I'm going, I just hope it's all they've been telling us it will be. This is too nice a show to die out.

Hey Paul, you will do great, with that car of yours you can't miss, and best of all you'll have a lot of fun doing it.

I will be there again, the show was purchased late last year by Championship Auto Shows, and they are trying real hard to make it a great show once again. This is a a great group of people who I will continue to support.

Thanks Jim, I am looking forward to it. I just picked up a car hauler. Now I can transport the cars around without worrying about the weather. I am contemplating doing the Bill Jacobs show on the 19th. I will need to get the CE home next weekend and start cleaning.

Good looking trailer, very similar to mine, realy comes in handy when the weather is bad. I have signed up for the Bill Jacobs show, if it dosen't turn ugly and do the snow thing, I'll go.

With the showing you had a few weeks ago in Louisville ( 4 top place finishes for Brian, for thoes that missed it) this should be a walk in the park, good luck to you.
