Congrats on pulling off one amazing gathering of cars. The amount of quality was amazing. I heard comments all weekend about what a great show it was. I really really mean it Bob. You really put on a great show. And congrats to all of you that brought the great cars. Wow !!

Yeah.....what Charley said not too mention some of the best people gathered together in one place. I was truly amazed at the number of people that pulled together to make the individual and/or group displays. One comment that stuck out in my mind was the one that someone said, "and to think that VetteFest was almost dead a few years ago. You would never think that now." So true. Great job Bob.

I need to talk to you but think I will wait about 2 weeks to give you time to recover. I will be in touch.

This was one of the best shows I can rember not just because of the great cars but I seen people I havent seen in years and met many new friends. I want to thank all the guys that brought their L78 to the show, it was a awesome display of very high quality cars. I als want to thank Bob see what happens when they let a true car guy run the show.

I think John hit the nail squarely! Too many times these shows are run by promoters who don't really have a feel for the theme of the respective shows. Not so with Bob Ashton. He's a complete package.
As usual, I had a ball, and the time flew by too quickly. Too much time spent (actually not nearly enough) talking with friends we only get to see a couple of times a year, leaving precious little time to get around and see the cars. VetteFest is truly becoming another Reunion for many of us.
Kudos to Bob and Vicky, and all their crew. We WILL be back.

Also a BIG Thank You to the sYc, and all the members and friends who made up the multiple displays including the L-78s, the Big Cars, the SCW's 'Rolling Clinic', and the NIC<font color="red">K</font>EY machines. Hats off to all of you!!!!

Simply put an amazing display of cars. My mistake was not planning on staying for the entire event. Not only were the cars awesome but the many, many hobbyist who participated. I plan on being there next year, because its a show you don't want to miss. For me seeing the Chris Short's L89 Elcamino was real honor, the SYC and L78 display was an event unto it self.

But what makes the show are the meeting of old friends and the forming of new ones.

A big thanks goes to Bob Ashton on an outstanding event.

Bob, another job well done. Spectators and participants were blown away by both the quality and quanity of cars.

Thanks to the sYc guys who helped put the displays together and to all of members who had cars there.
