I went last time and this is not to be missed. Dick is a great guy and a gracious host. He'll give you the skinny on performance as well as an entertaining history of our beloved vettes.
Previous Vettes:
'00 Torch Red convertible, Black top & interior, Z51, 6-speed, 3LT.
'87 Dark Red Met. 'vert, 4+3 shifter.
'70 Donnyebrooke Green coupe, 454/390, 4-spd, AC, PS, PB.
'89 Dark Red Met. 'vert, A/T, ZZ4 engine, 4-pt roll bar, big brakes, bigger radiator.
Dick is a great guy and has lots of stories about the old days. Be sure to ask him about the time they "borrowed" a fan's radiator to complete the race. That one cracked me up.
