I would think Vette folks at a Vette event know to wave. Are you sure they saw you??

There were probably 600 Corvettes at TMS this weekend for the big LSCC show and events, they probably didn't wave because they would have wore their arms out!!

I always wave without an expectation of a return wave but it's nice when I'm acknowledged.

Most Vette owners in the North Houston area that I encounter do wave. However, you have to remember that some people are just Corvette owners - not enthusiasts like us who know these things. Pull that ignorant fool over and educate him/her!

Also many out of state Corvettes I say so many if I would have waved at each I passed going in or leaving TMS my arms would have been wore out also.

I made sure to get my fare share of waves in this weekend. but to get in all the wave woulda taken an octopus amount of arms to accomplish. BTW would like to say thanks to whom were there. i had a blast!
