Yeah, we always like when Rick comes along! He's one of the original 3 amigos (with Mike, IRON82)! Are you planning to go all the way,Rick, or just to Corvette America? You will be a little tender, huh? Talk to you soon.

Hey, Ebo, good news on the car today! The tach is working fine. The plug pulled out of the distributer. He said it probably hadn't been all the way plugged in before. Had to also replace one of the heater hoses. They also solved my alarm problem. The driver's door switch (for arming and disarming) was cracked. You could set the alarm and it would work fine for a while, then go off. At least THAT shouldn't happen again! (off topic, I know)

Although I'm not going to the C3 gathering, I'm going to try to meet you guys for the tour at Corvette America. I've been to their showroom but a tour of the whole place would be interesting. 

Barry all great news!!

Glad to have you come, Jim! You bringing the Vette? Alan, the party starts earlier! This is going to be quite a trip! We should all get walkie-talkies set to a common channel (of course!). It is such a shame about Paul. But we're all going to get TWO trips for the price of ONE! AND a huge caravan! BONUS!

 Just spoke to Suzie. She is gearing up for our arrival. Looking forward to meeting our group, and gawking at our cars. She indicated we could update the attendees as close as a couple days out, so no one will be left out.         We do not want any of these in the bunch. Anyone needing last minuet changes can do so.   Mark

 You can count me in,I may have a couple of folks with me I will let you know real soon.No Barry I can only do the tour(wish I could go all the way).Not tender yet they had to reschedule for april due to I had a real bad bout with the flu.

Sounds like you and me will be in the same boat Rick..don't think that I can do the trip out either..but a drive up there will be nice..maybe we can catch up somewhere on the way up..I am just south of Harrisburg on 83..not sure how you will go but if you head towards your brothers place near Shrewsbury I am north about 20 miles or so..hopefully no steer!

And Mark ....YOU ROCK! !!!!!!!!!yostusota2011-03-08 18:22:19

Well..I got the either or from the check book..either tires and clutch..or trip! Found the trailer and truck to rent and pull on out to MAM..will cost as much as the tires and clutch..so unless work kicks on OD soon that's where I am at...I can meet you guys somewhere...I do now remember talking about that at some point in the past..maybe get Hank to run up also! This will be fun.

Rich

Rich I will be taking the back way rt23 and crossing over to 83 on rt 439.It about 2 1/2 hours to Corvette America from my house ,so we'll have to figure a place to meet and time for the drive to Corvette America.Just to throw someting out is the Hess station on 83 near you? tinbender2011-03-08 20:33:50

If you know the exit it is on or about what mile marker I would know where it is..buncho Hess stations out there! I am on exit 24 off 83.

 RICH! No sadness from you! The clutch and tires will pass Pa. inspection, and you don't NEED to get in the float bowl so far. Make the trip, enjoy the gathering, see your buds and take a chance on getting some perks from C/A and  Mike at M.A.M.  We made the trip to HOT SPRINGS with the rivets touching. I am SURE you are not that far into the disk. Prices for your parts will be LESS costly if ya order them at the show, ship them home and have a ICE CREAM party at the house to install them. NO if, and, or buts. You're GOIN!   That is an order from the "TOP"  First Shirt Wartell.

Your right about the clutch..it actually holds fine I just want it to do more..as for the tires not so good..after a winters worth of reading horor stories of tires blowing out due to age I had to check mine..they were puchased in 2000..I have the reciept..tire life is 6 years from what I can find on these tires..so I dismounted 2 of them and they don't look so good on the inside..cracked up..outside looks decent..so they are top of the list now..you ever price out stock tires..249$ each..add shipping and there goes a week of my life! So I am up for CA but that will be about it except for some local stuff this year..

______________

My first parade at Carlisle 2010

You know, Rich, you could get a set of the Firestone Indy 500 tires for about $350 for the set! Do that for now for use and buy a set of originals later for local shows. Work smart, man!
