Who ever went to Carlisle this year, how was it? Where there lots and lots of C3's? How many were lucky enough to go? Any possibility of sharing your experiences and possibly pics would be appreciated by the rest of us.........Thanx Much!

The attendance seemed to be down a bit but the weather cooperated nicely - Warm to Hot but no rain We had a great time hanging out at the Parking Spot for the C3VR members - meeting people and sharing information.

I warned her about as she walked up - I seem to to get branded myself once a year in the begining of the season.

I did go. For once my car broke before Carlisle, instead of at Carlisle. My son was able to fix it before I left. The weather was great---not too hot and no rain, but somehow I didn't think it was as good as in years past. As Adam said, he thinks it is getting to be a social event and there were less vendors. Also most of the cars for sale were by Corvette dealers--hardly any private sales it seemed to me. Just my 10 cents worth. Been going 20 years. Kathy

   Hey Jim,

As a first timer to Carlisle we thought it was incredible. Nothing even close to this anywhere around us. We got some pieces for our recently purchased  80 Corvette as well as some trim rings for our 67 non Corvette car. We will go again but will give ourselves more time as we did not see even half of it in the time we had. Maybe next time won't seem so interesting but I guess that's why we always remember the first one.

Sure wish I lived closer.  I've always heard this was a show to go to for sure.  Congrats on your win and thanks for posting the picture....very nice ride ya got there!

Corvette Central and Mid America were not there... if they were, they would have to start charging their phone/mail order customers dales tax if shipping to PA.  By being at X (I think 4) number of PA events per year, you become considered a PA Retailer, which would require PA sales tax.
