With a total of 170 Vettes registered for the show, competition was extremely tough. Our own Bob and Helen Keyes were awarded a “Best-in-Class” trophy for their Vette in the Modified Class. Please join me in congratulating Bob and Helen on their win.

On Sunday, Brother Wally & Jeri Schmaltz, and I attended the car show hosted by the Corvettes in Paradise Corvette Club in Naples, Florida.  Brother Wally won two trophies with his beautiful Red Mist, C8 convertible. The weather was great and the host club was very cordial and appreciated us attending the show.  Check out the photos below oof Wally and his trophies.  Congratulations Wally.

Congrats to Bob and Helen for the win.

Congrats to Steve for grabbing 2nd place in the "2002 - Present" class.

Eight PRCC members entered their cars in the Ideal Classic Car show today. They were: Bob Keyes, Jerry Suminski, Lou Rivera, Paul Remillard, Terry Tracy, Bill Wannall, John Waiswilos and myself. It was great to have Bill Wannall with us at a car show again. We had missed him in the recent past as he recovered from some medical issues.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that Lou Rivera had brought coffee and donuts for us who got up early to attend the show. A BIG thank you to Lou for his humanitarian and considerate deed. I think Lou has now set the bar for future shows. 

It was a typical HOT Florida morning on that parking lot. Once we completed the final “clean and shine” of our cars, we quickly moved to the shade against the building where there was a little breeze. At the end of the day, two PRCC member’s cars were awarded trophies. Today’s winners were Paul Remillard with his Black Mamba C8 Z06 and John Waiswilos with his beautiful white C3. Congratulations guys!!

Following the show we proceeded to Artur’s Restaurant to cool off and have lunch. Kathy Tracy and Sally Betancourt were smart enough to not attend the HOT show and instead joined us for a nice lunch.

Congrats to Bob and Helen for taking the Best Engine trophy home.

It was a very good day for PRCC Corvettes at the Ideal Classic Cars show on a hot 90 degree Saturday morning. We had eight entries in the show and our cars took up half a lane in the parking lot. In attendance were John Goodspeed, Bob Keyes, Paul Remillard, Lou Rivera, Jerry Suminski, Terry Tracy, Susanne and Lin Beverly, and Diego Betancourt.

PRCC walked away with 5 trophies. The winners were Susanne and Lin Beverly’s C8 orange/black coupe, Terry Tracy’s Indy 500 Pace Car C5, Lou Rivera’s yellow supercharged C5, Paul Remillard’s black C7 ZR1, and Diego Betancourt's supercharged C7. 

Congrats to Bob Keyes and Bill Wannall for wins in their class. There were over 100 corvettes entered in this show, so quite an accomplishment.

A bunch of us attended the South Gulf Cove Car Show hosted by our own Ed Kerschke and Elaine McNeill. It certainly was a gorgeous day for a car show. Many, many beautiful cars, old and new, which must have been tough for the judges. But… Mark and Gretchen Doran received a trophy for their beautiful 2023 Red Mist C8.  Congratulations!!

Five club members attend the show on Sunday morning. Bill Wannall , Jerry Gilbert , James Morgan , John Waiswilos and Bob Keyes entered but no trophies went our way. Maybe next time. Thanks to all who attended this benefit for Veterans show.

Saturday's car show was attended by Bill Wannall, Paul Remillard, James Morgan, Dan & Connie Agnello and Bob Keyes. Club members who came to enjoy the show and cheer the entered members on were Kathy & John Goodspeed, Linda & Cliff Kelley and Helen Keyes. The weather was great with enough breeze to make it enjoyable.

Paul Remillard and Bob Keyes received Best of Show in their Division Trophies. While I wish we had more of our members recognized for their great looking cars, I think everyone had a good time talking with spectators and other entrants.

Congrats to Bob on yet another win.

Congrats to Bob for his Best of Show win.

Congrats to our winners. Bob Keyes, Bill Wannall, and Steve Schowdoski.

The PRCC participants came away with a sweep in their respective classes.

Congrats to our winners.

Congrats to Bob, Steve, and Bill on the wins.

It was a good day for the Peace River Corvette Club as everyone who entered the Show from our Club won a Trophy/Plaque!  Congratulations to Bill Wannall, Diego Betancourt, my wife Helen, and yours truly. 

And a big thanks to the members who dropped by to cheer us on:  Steve and Rachel Schodowski, Jim Dandy and Mary Ortiz, our Prez Jerry Suminski, Wanda Wannall, and Sally Betancourt. 

The lot was full of nice cars with a large number of spectators to enjoy looking and enjoying the venue of food , drink and live music. There is a repeat of this show on July 3rd.

This past weekend at 1Daytona the Ponce Inlet Corvette Club had their annual Corvette show.  PRCC had Steve & Rachel , Susanne & Lin and Bob & Helen representing the club. There were approximately 250 Corvettes there from South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida because of the popularity of the show and the fantastic venue.

Steve & Rachel’s C-7 and Susanne & Lin’s C-8 looked great in the two most heavily competed classes at the show.  Bob & Helen were lucky enough to get a trophy in the C-2 class. The hotel is great and we were fortunate to be parked just a few feet away from it for great convenience.  I think everyone had a great time at one of the best all around Corvette shows I have attended.

Members attending the St. Armand’s Corvette Show this past Saturday were our Prez Jerry Suminski, Lin and Susanne Beverly, Cliff and Linda Kelley, Jim Dandy and Mary Ortiz, Steve and Rachel Schodowski, and Bob and Helen Keyes.

Getting to the show was interesting because of the coming rain. We all knew it was going to rain but not when or how long. We were a little lucky in that the rain did not start until we were close to the show. After arriving at the show the weather was great but the threat of more rain was real. Again we were lucky as there was only a sprinkle while at the show and that did not interfere at all with the show. There was little luck to go around for the PRCC members in the judging as only Bob & Helen were awarded a trophy and that was because of considerable help from the PRCC members in attendance.

Members enjoyed a great lunch at The Columbia restaurant. Back to the luck thing- no luck on the way back as it rained the entire way except for the time it poured! But all in all everyone enjoyed the show .

Congrats to Bob Keyes for a win at this well respected show.

The Pelican Car Show  was attended by several PRCC members Saturday.  John Goodspeed , Jim & Mary Ortiz , Steve & Rachel Schodowski , Bill & Wanda Wannall , Bob & Helen Keyes and our Prez Jerry Suminski.  The show was well attended with cars and what seemed to be an extra large group of spectators.  Rain threatened but never materialized and temperatures were great.

Trophies were won by Bob & Helen , Bill & Wanda and special recognition to Steve & Rachel for their first ever Trophy!

Our own Jerry and Kit Gilbert took the Peoples Choice Award. Congrats.

Bill Wannall and Bob Keys both took trophies home.

Several members attended and even with the tough competition, Bill Wannall and Bob and Helen Keyes took home trophies.
