“Vets for Vettes” Car Show – Oct.5


“Vets for Vettes” Car Show Red Hawk Casino Placervile Ca. Oct.5: My friend Nick and I cruised over to Placerville to the Red Hawk Casino as they sponsored the “Vets for Vettes” car show on Sunday. It was put on by Nor Cal Corvettes out of Sacramento. I am running out of adjectives to describe these cars at shows, especially at this one. As you can imagine they were just amazing. C1’s Through C8’s . Some of the work and paint jobs put into them is just unbelievable. They are so meticulously maintained and cared for. The work that they put into getting them ready to show is really amazing.

Got to take the Vette out for a nice cruise on a nice day. Needless to say a fun show and I got to talk to a lot of very knowledgeable Vette guys from” Nor Cal Corvettes”and “just For Vettes” both from Sacramento. It was a blast hearing them all fire up at the end in the garage under the casino where they held the show.

Take Care,
