I,ve been a member of Hot August Nights since 2003 . My wife and I didn't purchase our Corvette til 2 years ago. The price was right so we got it. I,ve done some restoration but more is to be done in the future. This will be only the second year it will be entered into The Hot August Nights car event the first week in August. We named our vette Pepper since it was a give away at the Peppermill Casino during the event a couple of years ago. It,s a Red T-Top with a stock 350. We have taken it to some of the show and shines that they have here in Reno during the year leading up to the main event in August. We enjoy it very much and lets us get out and meet a lot of car buffs. We liked it so much that we had to get a C-6 to go with it
