Default VetteFest: anyone going?
I'm going to check things out. I wanted to enter my car for judging, but I got laid off from my job. ttp://www.chevyvettefest.net/ Nothing like a chevy to sing the blues away...

I'm not gonna go to Vette Fest, but I will be at World of Wheels and Race & Performance Expo. ONEBADWS6 and I are teaching the FAST XFI tuning seminar at R&P Expo, for the second year in a row.

Hmm haven't been to Vette Fest in years, too much slow junk there.

I had cars at World of Wheels in years past, I think the last year was 2002. I'd consider doing it again but not if the same clowns run it as in the past, John something.

I'm planning on going to VetteFest.

PSJ, World of Wheels is still run by the same idiots.
I'll never do that show or even attend it ever again.
