Your welcome John, it was also a pleasure meeting you and your son John. Besides checking out your 95, I also enjoyed the 66, what a nice Vette!!!
Yes, see you in 2017 if not before........

Tom,

Thank you so much for taking time out to take pics and correlate to name/forum nick name. Every year after the Carlisle I realize I had missed someone because I had not been able to put face to the name.

Hope to see you soon at another WAZOO get together.

Excellent work capturing a "sliver" of the event, Tom!! It was my first Carlisle adventure, and it was WELL WORTH THE EFFORT to make the long trip!!

WOW! I had never seen so many Corvettes anywhere! By Saturday our ZR-1 parking area was overflowing. It was, as several have said, terrific to get to see several people I've come to know on the Forum, but was able to put faces AND (some) cars with names was especially good.

I was in awe of several of the cars there - beautiful - inside and out. And, there's NOTHING like a paint job by Marc, but there was an (I'll call it 'metalized') aluminum-like high-gloss finish, and of course those powder-coated motors...ALL were spectacular...even impressed this old WARRIOR (i.e., not a waxer, ordinarily.

Tom, if you don't mind, I'll tag a few pix of my own onto your post so as to avoid people from having to jump around.

The Poster awarded to our club for the largest number of attendees of any club (pretty impressive achievement, huh?)

Jim Voter performed a plenum-pull "how to". The car was crowed around so that some had to peek between the "front-row" shoulders to get a peek at the goings on.

Here's Jim standing by his handy work. He did the plenum pull for free as a teaching demo. But, I asked him if re-assembly was included...or did he have to PAY for that! LOL!

Just a few candid shots...

Here's Charlie and Steve at main bar at the Clarion (VERY NICE) hotel (thanks, Robert DeMarco!!)

This was taken before the "Rusty Nails" had a chance to 'do their thing'; what followed wasn't pretty - but what do they say in Vegas? "What happens in Vegas....." Just (half) kidding. We had a great evening, and the dinner there was incredible!

Steve's portrait in the reflection of his beautiful, black/black (and now RED) Z

Two very dear friends - nicer people you'd be hard pressed to find - Mike (aka Trippler) and his lovely lady Desilie (aka Riviera) (Truth-be-known, knowing they would be at Carlisle was a good portion of the reason I made the trek...to see them! Such fun people - you'd love to meet then if you haven't done so already...)

Last one (for now): Three of the four hardest working people without whom the gathering would not have been possible: Mark Horner, Dennis Fierstein, and Jim Voter. NOT to exclude Robert DeMarko from that group, but unless that is his chubby legs in the background, he wasn't in this one..

I did a 'panorama shot' of the Carlisle gathering, from our location. I'll try to get it on YouTube later.

Paul.

Your welcome Yun, glad they turned out good!!! Still trying to find some missing pics......lol I can't post some members pics if I can't locate them

Also looking forward to the next WAZOO, as I have a small list of things to do whenever the time permits over many WAZOO get togethers. Hurst shifter, etc., etc. Nothing that need urgent attention. My 94 is running great...
Enjoyed our conversation Yun about the Muscle Car era!!!

Thanks Charlie, my pleasure....We did have a good time and enjoyed your stories over a few beers, they were great, and so were the stories!!!

Yes, looking forward to seeing you and everyone else at the next WAZOO

BTW, as many have stated, your pulled pork cooking abilities are second to none, thank you for the delicious lunches, very much appreciated.

Thank you Paul, it was a pleasure to meet you!!! Paul and I were busting on each other and had some good laughs. Glad you made the long haul.
Post as many pics as you like, never too many to view....
And Paul is right on about Mike and Desilie, two very nice people.....
Let us know about the YouTube video when it is up and running....

The thanks go to Rod for allowing his ZR-1 to be used as the demo car.

My hope is that other ZR-1 owners (and potential owners) will understand that the LT5 is not an "untouchable" beast that is impossible to work on. As we know, many ZR-1 owners work on and repair their LT5's, and now, many owners have done major engine modifications. The ZR-1 is a great hobby car, with outstanding performance. And I can attest, also a great touring car.

Jim
