Thanks, Frankie! Mark Horner's black #27 was right next to mine.

I guess Corvettes DON'T melt in rain :D

Re: Carlisle '14
 

It's not a sin for a corvette to get wet, it's a sin to not dry them down!

Special guest G. Gordon Liddy
It was an honor to have dinner at Stock's with a real piece of American history.
Found this book by accident at an antique/old book shop in Mystic this morning, too bad
it wasn't last week, could have asked him to autograph it.
There's a picture of him and his ZR-1 in it!

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Does he still own the ZR-1

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Sure does!
He had it at Carlisle!
Last year too.

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Frank? he claims he does but we never see it...

Re: Carlisle '14
 

That was Dave's car he left his at home.

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Kevin,

I saw his car last year.

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Inside joke. I know he has one but Robert and I were giving him a hard time about not having it there over the last few years. Your car looks and sounds great, thanks for the advice this year

Re: Carlisle '14
 

I had a wonderful time once again this year at Carlisle. The only problem it was way too short. Anyone up for a Mountain Run next year? There has to be some pretty decent hills up near Carlisle?

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Thanks, Kevin. Appreciate the compliment.
BTW, Saturday driving home, about one mile from my condo parking garage, my alternator gave up the ghost. I had just enough juice in the battery to pull in and park my car in my designated space. Am I pissed? Hell no! I was thinking my alternator looked too grungy after all that powder coating on the cam covers and plenum. What a great excuse/opportunity to get a new alternator and spray paint in silver (to avoid typical raw aluminum staining) to match the rest of the motor. It all depends on how you look at it.

Robert,
I agree. I had a great time meeting and talking to all those who share my passion. Like you said, seems too short. Funny how 8 hours at work seems like an eternity and the same 8 hours at Carlisle passes like in a blink.:cheers:

Re: Carlisle '14
 

you're going to be able to take the plenum off in your sleep soon!

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Does anyone know the total of cars that were there?
Nelson007

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Nelson - We had 71 cars registered.... I don't have the total number that passed through our area between Friday and Saturday.

Yun - sorry to hear about your troubles.... but you always seem to make lemonade out of lemons! I'm sure you are going to start another trend among the community for power-coated alternators.

The weekend sure did pass too fast, and there were a lot of folks I didn't get to catch up with as many other things were going on.... I did enjoy at least seeing everyone and being able to participate in the 25th reunion of the Challenge Cars, and the opportunity for Beth and I to parade #27 to the Carlisle Expo Center on Friday evening for the Race Dinner.

I think I spent Saturday trying to dry off, as did Everett and Brett, as we were drenched working the parking crew. I'm not sure I ever did, but Sunday was a beautiful day for those who were able to remain!

It was a great trip.... 10 days in total from San Antonio!

Regards,
Mark

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Great turnout.

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Not only the turnout was super....

The support from the vendors of the ZR-1 Net Registry raised over $1,800!!!

Special thanks to:

FIC Injectors
Jerrys Gaskets
Marc Haibeck
Bill Wenzel
Vette 2 Vette
Frank Urbinatti

So many helped out with set up, breakdown, cooking, parking and merchandising!!

Our club was the largest club for the second year in a row!! The weather could have been better, but we still packed the cars in and had a blast!!!

Already planning for next year....

:cheers:

David

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Carlisle was a blast. Saturday wasn't so bad , better weather would have brought about a much bigger crowd. Hat's off to our directors and all that helped make the event a very successful one.

Re: Carlisle '14
 

Here are a few pictures

Re: Carlisle '14
 

I agree Kevin white on a 1990 ZR-1 pops!

Re: Carlisle '14
 

great video thanks

Re: Carlisle '14
 

maybe next year put numbered stickers on the parking passes of all the cars so we know how many cars we had total?

Re: Carlisle '14
 

As David stated, we all owe a special thanks to our friends and loyal supporters, without whom Corvettes at Carlisle wouldn't be the same:

FIC Injectors
Jerrys Gaskets
Marc Haibeck
Bill Wenzel

Frank Urbinatti

These guys are the best!

Thank you!!!
