The Black Hills Corvette Classic rally actually started today in Beresford, SD at Jerry’s Chevrolet dealership with registration and a noon lunch. Then everyone meets at the fairgrounds in Sioux Falls, SD for a car show and other activities like the Quick 60. Thursday morning they all meet (about 200-300 Corvettes) to leave as a caravan on I-90 (with 80 mph speed limits) to head for the main part of the rally in Spearfish, SD. I will join them along I-90 at the Plankinton, SD exit. It goes on for the next couple of days with touring of the Black Hills, autocross and drag strip activities, a poker run, seminars, and another big car show on Spearfish Main St on Friday night. Some go on tours to Mt. Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, Badlands National Park, Custer State Park and Wildlife Loop, the Needles Hiway, and Iron Mountain Road with its three one lane tunnels that you can see Mt. Rushmore through them and its wooden pigtail bridges and lots of curves which Corvette drivers like. Some even spend time in Deadwood, SD, our big gambling town. A big catered supper and entertainment show with several diamond drawings end it on Saturday night. This is the longest running Corvette event in the nation, going on 51 years, even longer than the well known Corvettes at Carlisle, PA. When I get back Sunday it will be time to get the camper van ready to go again.
