Looks like the weather is going to cooperate.

Too bad it's so far from me. Jazz band AND bake sale, no less...……. ENJOY - and send photos if you get any.
 
So what an amazing day for this event, the weather was perfect. 350 + cars in attendance and lots of smiling faces. We brought my dad who requires a some help getting around on foot at his age with his Parkinson’s so I didn’t take any pics of cars and just a couple more of this killer old boat which I’ve posted pics of in the past.

Oh yeah, I forgot... I swung into a spot wide so my buddy with the Magnum could park next to me. Then typical Corvette owner behavior was exhibited...

I've attended several events at the Packard proving grounds, but none since the 1980's. I never got tired of the place. One time, during a Packard national meet, I rode on the boot in a 56 Caribbean convertible, filming with a video camera, doing laps on the track at 100 MPH. I was younger and not so wise then.
