For an Ohio Event it has to be Rick Conti's Trible Nickle Run, State Rt 555 this past October. 50 plus Corvettes, mostly C8's completing 64 hilly, twisting, winding curve miles from Zanesville to the Ohio River.

I always enjoy hanging with Gixxerman but with over 100 events this year it's too difficult to pick just one. Perhaps Corvette day at Blackhawk Farms Raceway and MCACN stand out among the best.

Well I am a HUGE car show/cruise night/car meet guy and set a personal record this year in 2023 and attended with one of my cool cars 122 of the aforementioned events (praise God). I would have to say the Downtown Sycamore, IL, car show held on the last Sunday of July, that goes from morning to about 4 pm is probably my favorite of them all. This year they had about 1,300 cars in the show with thousands of people walking through the show to admire the show cars. I always put my favorite in this show my 2019 Corvette ZR1.

As far as the best show in town where I did not put a car in the show (wish I did next year I want to) the MCCAN show at the Rosemont Convention Center held every year in mid-November just can't be beat with over 500 of the most rare, desirable and collectible muscle cars and corvettes from across the Country on display. If you guys love corvettes and muscle cars then the MCCAN show CAN NOT be beat!

Quicksilver and myself always have fun at the events we attend. The wife and I go to the Johnsburg Memorial Day Parade every year. Very small town, but DAMN.. reminds me of how are country was when I was a kid.. just an awesome feeling seeing all the flags and kids brimming with patriotism.. one we just love doing. Someday Quicksilver may do the parade with us...

I'm a simple guy. I'm really happy to just hang out with Quicksilver and the guys on Sunday mornings, Corvettes and Coffee in Addison. I go every chance I can.

Hard to pick just one:
- Mid-Ohio track days
- Pitt Race with my father and his '62 pickup
- VIR in the fall
- cruising the '66 and the '62 pickup (dad)
