It has been 13 years since I was there and I'm sure it is different as these
shows/events seem to grow over the years. That was only a few years after Dances
With Wolves came out and part of it was shot just off Spearfish canyon.
Interesting seeing the camera mounts and plaques where the listed time, weather,
scene number, and everything for retakes if needed. It was down some gravel
roads but was worth it with some of the small waterfalls we saw in the stream.
More Corvettes than you thought possible, like when you go to Carlisle, MAD
Corvette Fest, NCM events, NCCC convention, or any of the Corvette forums
events.

It was above 100 degrees that year and Spearfish canyon was much cooler. We
stayed in Deadwood at the hotel which was a bit expensive but it had
air-conditioning so price was not the deciding factor. Many more things to do
than we took time to do, you just can't do it all. Plus I don't race my Corvette
when I'm 1,200 miles from home.

Went on out to Applevalley CA. to see some old friends and then back home
through Sturgis just in time to hit the beginning of the bikers. Three weeks on
the road was enough but most was in the wide open country and many National
parks.

To sum it up, the event gets a little overwhelming but then I'm old enough that
those kind of events are getting a bit much for me. Would I do it again? You
bet, would try almost anything at least once.

my wife and i shot it for vette in 98. we went to the first showing of
the c5 convertible at the factory then back to az through the black
hills. if you do it, don't forget the caravan across the state. lots of
things to do, hundreds of vettes, tours through the beautiful country
around there. if you race (drag, autox) they have that too. lots of
shows.

never been to the "Black Hills Corvette Classic"
but have been to Sturgis and the Black Hills many times.
the Black Hills from Spearfish all the way down to Custer,
sure is beautiful to see.
also a lot of history in those hills !
