I left Jeff H. after breakfast about 7:30 a.m., made one stop for gas and got home at noon. Drove through a little rain on US15, but for the most part, it was uneventful and a pleasant drive.
I hope everyone had a good time and arrived home safely.
Here's to another great C3VR event.

It was another one for the record books 
speaking of "Record Books" Marshal your ears had to be ringing.
speaking of "Record Books" Marshal your ears had to be ringing. - Wow thats a big piece of meat
- Your husban has a big one also
- Thats a pretty small box for that big piece of meat, can you stuff it in there?
- I figured if I had one girl going one way and another going the other way it would be better so I got two girls
- That looks bigger than 10 inches
Next time we will hand out Marshal Books to capture quotes when your not there bud!
It was also nice to meet some more new faces, we had a Huge group this year!
What I don't understand is when I say "Hi I'm ebo" they say "I know"

Returned home late Sunday afternoon after a hectic 2 days trying to resolve a lost cylinder issue encountered Friday night. Found 2 burned plug wires from headers ans assumed that was my problem. Did a gang 
replacement of wires late Sat. at the show which did not solve the problem. Bought a new set of plugs and replaced which also did not solve the lost cylinder. Only thing left I could do relatively easily in the motel parking lot was pop valve covers off and this is what I found.

Our trip went well also. Had a GREAT time with new and past meeting of friends. Dave -n- Mary, the car is BEAUTIFUL! Happy for ya. What a great group, weather, show and events with plastic car people. DAN, glad you rectified the problem. THANKS to all for a SUPERweek-end. The Birthday Girl was thankful for her friends as well.
Ms. Funbucket and I got back around 4 last night after a quick trip up to Chocolate world at Hershey. I'm really sorry to all that we didn't get to spend more time together with the group. As it was my first time to carlisle I was waaaaay overcome by all there was to see.....speaking of which did anyone see the Kerbeck Chevy girls??? They all knew who Ebo was......
I was looking for a T-top pad for my car and had no luck....alot of earlier model ones available....well theres always next year or glass tops whichever comes first.
Rose and I really enjoyed our dinner at the Rustic Tavern and thanks to everyone for making her feel right at home.
Oh and BTW when I got back to work today that hood liner material was on my desk. Must have come on Friday
. It looks pretty cool and he sent me 3 decals too. I will keep it if anyone wants to see it.
