Bloomington Gold 2023

[Figure8it]

Anyone planning to attend this year's Bloomington Gold? I'm thinking about making the drive on Saturday morning (June 3rd) from the south burbs. Last one I attended was years and years ago in St. Charles. I'm up to cruise down with anyone interested.

Here is a link for the schedule: https://www.bloomingtongold.com/index.php/attend/event-schedule

I'll arrive on the 1st to help get the Gold Collection set up. On the 2nd, I'll be judging Certification for 68/69 and on the 3rd We're having our 89 judged for Survivor/Benchmark.

I'm happy the show is back in Bloomington/Normal:cheers:

I was unimpressed when I went last year, not sure I will be going back..

My wife and I will be there on Saturday. We meet my BIL who lives in NE and "caravan" on Friday.

Because of my work schedule, Bloomington Gold is the only big show I can attend each year.

I just looked at the list...almost 70 judged cars including two 2nd gen ZR-1s.

I'm going to grab my ticket for Saturday and give it a try. I don't mind looking at Corvettes all day log. Hopefully I can meet many of you going in person.

Bloomington set-up day. Cars receive ops and then get parked in Redbird Arena for Certification judging on Fri and, if selected, Survivor/Benchmark on Saturday...

I saw both of your cars. Those are amazing examples.

Airbus, I had never seen a pre-production 89 in person before - very cool

How do you each do in judging?

[AirbusDriver]

Just saw yur question. The 89 received Bloomington Gold Certification, Survivor and Benchmark. After that, it went to the NCRS National Convention and received it's American Heritage Award.

It's judging days are now over.
