Caffeine & Octane

I took the ZR-1 to the local C&O this morning. It's been a few months since I attended one, and holy crap it has exploded. We got there about 6:30am and we were late...lucky to get a parking spot. The influx continued all the way to 10am when the show ended and people started leaving. There had to be at least 400 cars and 4000 people, just incredible. I was amazed at how many people came up to the ZR-1 and knew exactly what it is, lots of great conversations with a bunch of different folks. We had a great time.

Here's a few shots.

First, getting all cleaned up yesterday.


Scored a great spot between some incredible customs. The Corvette has a built 350 with a 6-speed behind it, and the Camaro...well just take a look. The paint was insane, just an artist's job.




Tons of Corvettes, and just about everything else. Here's just a tiny fraction of the interesting stuff there.

Looks like you had a great time Mark, I will have to try and make it up some time.

Looks like a great turnout and some really nice cars too. Some other cars of special interest as well. Your Z looks great but i'm kinda partial to the black ones.

Personally, I like the one in the cowboy hat the best.

Wow! Excellent turnout! That black Z looks incredible! Yellow, then Black (or was it the other way around?) are my two favorite colors. (My least favorite is ... RED. Funny how things work out some times. BUT! The RED cars are faster, so there's that!)

You have to come up some time, it's just amazing how big it's gotten. There's a significant police presence too, directing traffic and making sure no one gets stupid. Really a well-run event.

Thanks! It cleans up pretty well, but parked between those two show cars really pointed out how bad my paint looks. 15 years uncovered in a warehouse didn't do it any favors. This summer my brother and I will be giving it a thorough correction, clean and buff, and touch up some of the bad spots. We'll have it looking like new.
