We have scheduled our 4th annual "Horsepower Party" for June 24th 2006. :party: Ask anyone who has been to one of my parties and they'll tell you it's probably one of the biggest privately hosted Corvette events in the country.
Last year we had about 700 C5 and C6 Corvette owners and enthusiasts come by for the festivities. We expect this year to be even bigger and better than last.
'Vette Magazine was there and did an eight page article on the party. It was entitled " Horsepower Party" I believe they will be here again this year. You may just get your car in the magazine this year.
This year we will have a live band, (they're GREAT! a HUGE barbeque, the "In N Out" truck serving burgers(FREE!), a vendors midway, and, of course, some GREAT prizes to give away.
I'm arranging some sort of shuttle to get everyone to and from their cars. Last year we had cars parked up to a half mile away.
This years GRAND prize will be your choice of one of my custom Vortech supercharger systems or a forged short block. (If you've purchased either of these from me within the last 30 days, you will receive a complete refund if you win the prize) Second prize will be a set of long tube headers with x pipe and cats. I'll be putting up a lot of other prizes for the drawing as well. (I sort of get caught up in the moment and start throwing all sorts of stuff into the hat!) The drawing will be held at the party and you must be present to win.
Some of the vendors will certainly put stuff into the hat too.
The grand prize and the second prize must be installed at my shop to ensure that they aren't sold for profit.
We will run the dyno all day for free and have the lifts available for MINOR work and installs, also for free. Please don't bring a cam you bought from somebody else and ask me to install it for free. (Yes I've actually had people ask me for stuff like this.)

For those who just can't make it, I'll have a DRAWING FOR ON LINE participants. The Grand Prize is a $1000 gift certificate. Second prize is a $500 gift certificate. Third prize is a $300 gift certificate. Fourth and Fifth prizes will be $100 gift certificates. Everyone is welcome to enter.
I do this every year to sort of "give back" to the Corvette Community that has treated me so well. All I ask is that you actually own a C5 or C6 Corvette and use the prizes for your own use and not sell them for profit.
To enter the on line drawing, just post a reply to this thread. We will take all the replies, assign them a number and throw them into the "hat"
I'm going to try real hard to have a live webcast of the party. Can anyone local help with this? Please call or email me if you can. I'd just love to do that.
Joel ( JBsBlownC5) made a great video last year for all to share. I'm sure he'll be here to do the same this year.
And there he is: (left, black shirt)
The last batch of 120 pounds of Tri Tip coming off the grill.( We had to run off to Costco to get a bunch of ribs just to settle the crowd down)
The crowd in question!!
Even the cops couldn't find parking close by!
