INDY VETTE FEST (ANNUAL CONCOURSE)

This year the Indy Concourse was held at Parklands, Southport in conjunction with the Indy Car Show.

Unfortunately the weather was not too kind for the first half of the morning but this did not deter a large contingent of Corvettes turning up to show the public what the best sports car in the world is all about.

The Corvettes had been allocated a big area so the cars were displayed to their best potential. As the weather improved the crowds turned up for the show and as normal, the Vette were a big attraction. The judges as always had a difficult task selecting the wining cars with so many superbly presented Vettes to choose from, but they did a good job and as they say "winners are grinners". Congratulations must go to Brad and all his helpers for once again putting on a terrific display of top Corvettes. For those unable to attend we hope you have enjoyed the picture spread.
