Corvettes at Carlisle, 2022

[Erik]

Man, I?d love to come out for it. Will people throw rocks at me if I arrive in a Mustang?

[dredgeguy]

They will not care, all are welcome but you will need to park outside the fairgrounds. Lots of parking close by and walk in. You are welcome in the ZR-1 Net Registry tent, will have food, drinks and chairs available.

Yes they will Charlie, but no point in spoiling the fun for Erik. A related story from a galaxy a long, long time ago: In college one year I worked a summer job as a mechanic and driver at Ford's Dearborn test track. I drove a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair and parked in the employee parking lot. Not much was actually said about it, but when my clutch cable broke and I had to fix it in the parking lot, I didn't get one offer of assistance. Lucky to get it home that day, and lucky to avoid people throwing rocks on the way out. --Bob

I've not done the autocross there, Steve, but I observed it about four years ago. It seemed to be well organized and like the downtown parade, it is something probably worth doing once.

By the way, all, we have 66 registrants (cars), so not a bad showing. It won't be enough to take top spot in the club participation award since I know of at least one other club that has more, but we may still get a "podium finish". Regardless, that may ZR-1 owners is more than enough to have a lot of fun which is what this is all about.

Safe travels all!

This was my engine bay 2 weeks ago, so I've had a bit of a last minute thrash as well. Luckily, I'm only in the office 3 days a week so I've been able to put in 35-40hr/week in the garage to get everything accomplished "while I was in there".

Good news is yhe full R134a conversion was a success & I finished the paint last weekend so I can focus on the servicing the Dmaxx before I leave town on monday for the 3250 mile round trip. This will be my first Carlisle event and I'm really looking forward to it.

[dredgeguy]

Looks awesome, great job and we are looking forward to meeting you in person shortly. Safe travels!

[Erik]

Still humming and hawing over it. It?s 12 hours drive either way for me. But it sure would be fun to meet with you guys.

There is always Lime Rock a week later and 4 hours closer?.
