GULF SIDE CORVETTE CLUB
Trinity Car, Truck & Jeep Show
After much consideration to the unforeseen circumstances of back to back hurricanes to our area, Gulf Side Corvette Club and HCA Florida Trinity Hospital have decided to cancel the 2024 car, truck and jeep show that had been scheduled for Saturday, November 9th.
Please be aware that some of the early mailed preregistration applications were washed away during Hurricane Helene, and we have no record of them. If I haven’t contacted you, it means your application is likely lost—either floating in the Gulf or buried in the debris at the landfill.
If you had preregistered to participate, please reach out to Pat Martucci @ 727-236-0959.
We look forward to announcing our 2025 date in the near future! Thank you.
Our "2nd Annual Trinity Car, Truck & Jeep Show" will be held on November 9th, 2024...
HAS BEEN CANCELED!
Well we had a great day and a great turnout for our first Trinity show honoring Veterans. Our sponsor and host "HCA Trinity Hospital" was a fantastic partner in this event, and I'd like to thank them for all the effort they put into making this show a success. I'd also like to thank all 46 Gulf Side members for helping to make things run as efficiently as it did.
But most of all to all the participants that came out to show their vehicles. There was a lot of fantastic vehicles on display out there, making the judges struggle to determine who became winners.
One thing that I'm proud of is the way our new "cloud" system worked in getting all the vehicles registered and judged in record time. (Thanks to Joe) We had all of the vehicles registered, judged & were ready to announce the winners by 2:00. It took some time to call out names and get the 79 trophies distributed, but by around 3:00 everyone was on their way.
This was a test run for our 25th Annual Chasco Fiesta Show", which will be on March 17, 2024. As you all know, we shut down New Port Richey and have vehicles parked on all the streets and in the parking lots. It's going to be a combination 25 Anniversary & St. Patty's day extravaganza. Last year we had over 400 registered vehicles and gave out 165 trophies. Because of the venue, we had over 3000 spectators. We expect to do the same, if not more for this show.
Registration remains the same so don't hesitate and get your free t-shirt and dash plaque by being one of the first 125 to register. We already have a few registered.
As usual I will be posting all the winners here in a few days, so come back if you want to see who won.
One last thing. We are a "Not for Profit" Corporation and a 501C3. We donate to over 10 charities and give out 4 scholarships to students in the automotive division at Marchman College to help them learn how to repair all of our vehicles. One of our major charities is "Tunnel to Towers", a great organization. The club likes to help our veterans, first responders and children in need. I will put a list of our charities here within the next week or so.
Hope to see you all in March at the Chasco Show and next year at our Trinity Show in November.
Enjoy the Ride,
Pat
