Skyline Drive Corvettes Show Reading, Pa- 2nd Place

[EricVonHa]

I took my '87 to the Skyline show on a whim. The car was still in "Bloomington" condition so I took it to the show. No surprise, it was the only Callaway there and I had a great time talking with lots of people. Most everyone I talked to had never seen one in person. It was great fun to talk with other Vette enthusiasts about these cars.

At the end of the day, I received a great surprise that I was judged to be #2 in the C4 class! There were 20+ cars in the class and 1st place was a Greenwood bodied car with lots of shiny motor compartment stuff. 2nd place was good for a 24" tall trophy and a handshake :L from the Hooter's girl handing out the trophies.

Eric I can't believe you didn't give the hooters girl a ride in the Callaway!!

Car is still looking great! Anybody that keeps a black car looking that good always gets my respect. Probably is great to get it on the road after tying it up for Bloomington!

Enjoy Ike

Good Job Eric!... It's looking spectacular.

I couldn't resist not going for a ride in my Twin Turbo today either. On the way home a 360 Modena started baiting me and I wasn't even speeding at the time, enjoying the early evening ride on I-95. Needless to say, there is one very dissappointed Ferrari owner in South Florida. He was very quickly looking at Callaway tail lights getting smaller and further away !.

He had no clue.

Eric, maybe you can give Pete some tips on what it takes to place at a car show.

Guys, I cannot hold back the whole story any longer. I had some help in winning the trophy... I took an attractive blonde to the show with me that I've been dating and she was gracious enough to wear a bikini top. She's a smart cookie too. I gave her a quick lesson on "Callaway Facts" and she talked the lingo with more than a few passer-bys. I'd like to think that the car won on it's own merits, however, I think she had something to do with it too.

I guess that's why I only got a handshake from the Hooter's girl!
