Corvette & high performance swap meet

[Warren F.]

Can anyone tell me if this meet that is held in Puyallup, WA. this weekend is a big or good meet to go to?

I'm in Northern California, but would still be about 1000 miles to attend. I will always attend Bloomington and Carlisle, those are just fantastic for a Corvette lover like me. But I'd sure like to hear from someone about this meet.
Thanks, Warren

It's usually pretty good however, I can't comment on the other meets but I understand it is small compared to those. You can do the swap meet here in a 1/2-3/4 day depending on turnout.

I live in the SF Bay area and my wifes' family is from Seattle, so we are going this weekend and go to the Feb Puyallup meet as often as possible. I would say it is best west coast Corvette parts swap meet. Pomona is/was as good, I had not gone in a few years but did go last fall and it was raining (rain chased most sellers away). Plan to try again this year. Ironically, I grew up in Western PA, never went to Carlisle, joined the NAVY, ended up living on the west coast, bought my first Corvette in 1986 and wish to attend Corvettes at Carlisle every year (made 3 visits since 1986). Carlisle is worth making the effort. If you make it to Puyallup in Feb, dress warm and bring rain gear. C Ya there ; - )

Re: Corvette & high performance swap meet

Its definitely one of the bigger shows on the west coast, but nothing like Corvettes at Carlisle. There is some construction going on at the Puyallup Fairgrounds this year, which may limit the number of exhibitors. Even more significantly, eBay is taking its toll on these swapments, which may soon become just a memory. It used to be that these meets were the only place where you could get needed parts, but now all you have to do is cozy up to your keyboard. And they call it progress.
