Hello everyone! I am interested in finding out what the big events are for our friends abroad. In addition to sites such as this one, I would like to be able to direct our European readers to websites similar to http://www.sytynationals.com or http://bash.j-body.org that have information on past and future events held in Europe for owners of GM vehicles. Thanks!

Most events over here are not make or model specific. The only one I can think of right now is the Corvette/Camaro/Firebird meeting and swapmeet in Belgium on 14 April.
Are you going to feature this site in the Mag? That would be awesome!

This is sweet!! We are getting noticed by my favorite magazine!! Bruce and Tony are the people who know where all the racing events are. I'm not sure about the shows.

Hi Jim
Here are a few sites that have events, racing and club meets in different countries. By far the Cruise brothers is the best for getting out and meeting people. Hope your multilingual or you like Babelfish.

http://www.cruisebrothers.demon.nl/

Here are some vette clubs with events

http://www.scci.ch/start/aufbau.htm
http://www.corvetteclub.at/News.htm

American cars only

Regards

Make me famous and put my name in the next edition or better yet how about a club bio done on our club with club member cars in it. It also could be an exciting field report abroad at one of the events in Germany.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys and thanks to Robert Hoover for sending me a link to this site. I can't promise anything, especially a column devoted to this site, but I am working on incorporating it into a future column. As for actual event coverage, I would suggest you read the editor's comments in this thread- http://web.camaross.com/bb/Forum1/HTML/091774.html

As a magazine, we really appreciate your support and hope we can continue to bring you GM's best.

Jim M

If you do happen to come over, come during the summer, then we can take you out to a fest, cram about 4 fest beers in you and make you take pics of our cars. lol j/k.

But thats cool that we got noticed. There are alot of nice cars in the club. Hope to hear more from you.

Best Racing is Dracthen NL 40Km From Amsterdam. Bigest race is Hockenheim. We are puting together a program Operation Street Legal where we rent the track and run our cars in Grudge/ Heads-up. Street backet and Pro Bracket. We also did Auto-X at one event which was fun.

Well, i can tell you right now that Drachten is NOT 40k's away from a'dam but more like 140 km's !!!
It's not a big deal but still.
Also Drachten is ALL the way to the North making it further away from most of you guys ...

But they do have serious dragracing though :)

I go over the border near Papenburg, Gronnigen is the bigest city near Drachten. Maybe it is more but I had a blast last year.

Have been there twice and it's pretty good show. Cruising tends to be too crowdy.
