I got there in time for the Tiki Bar Welcome Party!
Sunday, Sept. 12
In the morning, this was the view. That's St. Petersburg in the mist across Tampa Bay.
This little guy was by the Vette to greet me.
The show site, right by the beach. Once again, the two Corvettes Conquer Cancer Vettes are side by side. The blue/white car is Richard Fleming's spectacular other cool Vette, a GTP replica.
Some detail on the GTP.
The TV show Tailfins and Chrome was there filming the event. Here the host, Jake, interviews Doreen Ernandez, the event organizer, and Richard Fleming, owner of the GTP and the old CCC Vette. Then, after coming up with the requisite $25 donation to the American Cancer Society, Jake signs the hood.
Richard's wife, Lynnette, proudly holds their
"BEST IN SHOW" trophy awarded to the GTP!

After overnighting in Tallahassee, I got home about 2:25.
