It is down from what it used to be,but I still found some interesting Vintage Dealer items in the swapmeet section.

The cost of feeding the McCormick Place monster has to be almost unbearable..I wonder if they have checked out Rosemont or other larger exhibition space here in the area. It probably wouldn't be Vettefest if it was moved. It's been there a long time now. Gold Spinner is known world wide....so are Silver and Bronze for that matter. I heard the Vette judging is really tough

Bel-Air,
I have given some thought to a suburban event. Vettefest started at Arlington Park but they won't do inside cars anymore. The Village of Schaumburg is building a convention center/hotel at Meacham and the tollway. Maybe a group of facilities guys could become venture capitalist's/promoters.Wasn't there a small concert planned in a cornfield in upstate NY when our cars were new?
Hope all is well with you.

The Arlington shows were cool weren't they..it sure grew from there...that's the first show I saw the Morrocco/Shor Yenko Chevelle...it would be great to see Vettefest some to Schaumburg wouldn't it ??/ All good here.....see you at the cruises !!

One of my favorite cars at VF was the Nickey Sponsered Purple People Eater Corvette, being shown in memory of Chip Miller. A racing Corvette in Purple paint is a real attention getter, Sounded good as well.

Bob, was interesting to watch the judges as they judged the cars at VF. With pens, pads and flashlights in hand, performing a thankless job. Besides mine, I watched them judge a couple of others, incluidng a Corvette. Very knowledgeable about what they were doing and did it in a very professional manner. My hats to all of them.

John//are you on camera ? My wife actually gets pissed when she sees those girls....she wants to run up to them and ask them if they are nuts for wearing that crap !!!

Just one girl this time. Dressed very business casual if I remember correctly. Shouldn't bother the Mrs. at all.

Bob, Bill has gotten away from the girls with the feathers. I watched a tape of the show last night it looked pretty good. I know not everybody liked the girls but it served its purpose of drawing people not just motorsport people to watch the show.

I miss the Peacock girls in the attachment.
Did the Darren Hanson interview make it to air?
