Wow, lost of issues for our cars this year on the way to or from. I also ran into issues Saturday afternoon on the trip home. I lost 2 cylinders due to header burns on the wires. Must have been someone at Carlisle reaching in and placing the wires against the headers! So Saturday night off to the auto parts store where I bought new wires and shorty plugs for both cars. Yes Both cars since Thursday night the wires on the 72 burnt on its test drive. (how did that guy that was moving wires in carlisle get to my 72 on thursday!) Anyway all is replaced and I now have some clearance witht the shorty plugs. Good to see everyone there. 
And how about a special congrats to Mark and Shirley for their winning car! Congrats! Very nice automobile!

No, Rick, A lot of us are planning on Corvettes for Chip this year (it's always my end of show season show!). I only mentioned OC, MD because it was brought up. I know it's off topic, BUT did you get your top issues straightened out? Hope your work issues get taken care of sooner rather then later!

We left Carlisle at 7:00 AM Sunday morning and rolled into Bowling Green at 7:30 PM Sunday evening.  The "COOL CE" ran flawlessly all weekend.  We had a fantastic time at the show.   Sorry we couldn't make the dinner Friday night.  

I did get to meet some of the C3VR crew over the weekend though.  Dave (Dwright), Barry (Jaws79) and Dave (DaveM), it was good talking with you guys.  You have great looking Vettes.  I hope to meet more of our members in person in the future.
 
I'm already looking forward to next years Corvettes at Carlisle!

 Just wanted to say seeing everyone at Carlisle was great and the Dinner was a fun occasion too! Great Delmonico...
  I've got the VANITY LIST so when I get a chance, I'll post it here for grins and giggles. My car ran fine to and from the event, but I did hit some heavy rain on the way home Sunday, for a short spell.
 Good company..Good food = 1 Good Time!

Gary I'm glad I was able to get a first hand look at your ride, cause I plan to clone it!
It's outstanding!
 
Crew...Gary sat in a directors chair all day Sat at the buisest intersection and wrote down vanity plates, some times the traffic was so heavy he needed four hands!
