Well Ienjoyed the show. There were some nice cars there and the setting IMO was great. The weather was not bad until late in the day around awards when it started to turn cold.
Here are a few shots I took.

This is mine. Took 3rd in The I Class Street

Sorry we missed you guys!

We thought we heard your name called for a trophy! Both Traci and I thought you mentioned being there, and we looked, obviously never finding you!

I'm sure we won't have that issue to concern ourselves with come the Ponce Inlet show in May! Any who...here's a picture of Traci with the silver 82 we entered. We had the 06 conv there at Celebration as well, but I decided not to have it judged. How can anyone judge NEW vehicles against one another??!!

Both Traci and I, along with tons of other folks, are glad that the Eckler shows will move back to Titusville. Seems this venue at Celebration (and at Old Town last year) did not sit very well with others. To move that many Corvettes through the the smallest of margins and clearance made no sense.

Felt we were treated like second class citizens.

IMHO of course.

Can't wait 'till May to see you both over here!!

It was great meeting you TR6Speed when you came by with Rob & Mary. Yes it was a great time. IMO, the should continue doing this show at a venue like Celebration vs the parking lot at Ecklers...

Deb and I enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone. I got to put some new faces with old names. Other than Freezing my florida butt off, it was a good time. Deb liked the atmosphere at Celebration and says she would go back there for another show. I thought it was a neat place to have a show, nice photo opps.

Deb won 3rd place in her class," Hurray!"

I'll post some pics soon.

Later.....

Well another year at Ecklers.
The weather held out,at least the rain,very windy but sunshine all day.A bit nippy though.
Not sure what is going with the judging,but we had some friends that had pre-reg,but Did Not show up for the show,but some how they won 2nd place in there class.

I had 21 cars in my class and 6 places we're avaible,needless to say I did even place,not saying that there we're not good looking car in my class but come on,not to brag but have you seen my car,remember TOO SHINY

Other then that the show was nice,it was nice to meet new memebers from here,seen some members cars but they we're not near them.Had a great time with all of our friends.

Enjoy the show
