Corvettes at Carlisle August 2020
Friends,
I have just learned that the NCRS has cancelled their Gallery Exhibit for this year at Corvettes at Carlisle. They are unsure if they will have their merchandise display in the area beneath the stands. I have been wrestling with my decision to attend this year. Having missed last year due to medical issues, I was so looking forward to attending this year and seeing all of my Registry friends. However, given the continuing deteriorating COVID 19 situation, I think it prudent for me, with the multiple risk groups I am in, to decline attending this years event. Your decisions are certainly unique to each of you, and may very well cause you less concern, particularly you younger healthier members. While the NCRS has no direct bearing, much of the membership is "gray" like me, and I respect their collective decision. I am not suggesting that the Registry consider changing their attendance plans, but individuals should make their own personal decisions. Have FUN next month, and I look forward to seeing each of you in 2021! Your Registry friend, Marty DRM500RUBYZR-1 |

I'm registered, but have not convinced myself 100% that I'm going.

Re: Corvettes at Carlisle August 2020
Registered but not going. I?m not going to drive across the country to see a partial showing. Instead, I?m going to the Gathering in the spring, assuming it will be on. I?m hoping zr -1 historic people and things will be there in abundance, especially since last spring?s 30th was skipped. Wife and I will drive z for the second time from state of Washington.

Re: Corvettes at Carlisle August 2020
I am registered and am going. To those who will not attend this year, you will be missed. I understand we will not be cooking this year so for the first time in the last 7 years I will be able to roam the show rather than be over a grill...but I will miss doing pulled pork for all of you!
I figure if attendance is down better chance to "steal a deal". Don't have anything on my need to buy list but you never know what you will find. Last year I found a ZR-1 front filler license plate (Jagdpanzer has it to make a mold for all of you who want one) as well as a leather hood insert for car shows (slides in between the hood interior lights). Also picked up a set of OEM spark plug wires with LT5 on them. Stay safe.

That is awesome. I've never seen or heard of anything like this. How does this "slide in" or attach? Any more images? Thanks

Re: Corvettes at Carlisle August 2020
Here you go, 3 photos showing how to feed it down from the top. It slides down the center of the hood with the edge behind the clips for the hood light wires. The hood light clips keeps it in place. Never saw anything like this until last Carlisle when I purchased it.
