Corvettes at Carlisle - Sat. 8/26 one day caravan

[LilRedCorvette]

This is always a HUGE event every year. Expect to see thousands of 'vettes in every model, year and color. Many vendors, swap meet, corvette auction, and displays of all sorts to look at. It is the "Superbowl Sunday" of Vettedom.

I will be going up for one day only (Saturday, August 26th) and hopefully leading a caravan of fine 'vettes with me. We will meet in the Leesburg Premium Outlets parking lot (in the middle where the food court is, parking area #10, faces Route 15 Bypass) and take Route 15 through Maryland into Pennsylvania for a nice scenic drive. Drivers' meeting at 7:15 AM, leaving at 7:30 AM SHARP. PLEASE remember to bring your family radios and gas up your cars BEFORE we leave! Be advised I like to go at LEAST speed limit...and then some! Once we arrive you are on your own to enjoy the many wonders of Corvettes at Carlisle.

If you wish to join this caravan to Carlisle, please register on the events tab, OR reply to this forum post, OR email me at lilredcorvette94@yahoo.com. Please use only ONE of these methods to RSVP! You MUST pay a registration fee at the gate if you have not pre-registered online. General admission is $12 and children under 12 are free. Corvettes get to park on the fairground infield (Corvette Only parking is $10). Visit www.carlisleevents.com to read more about the event. Bring lotsa money.

Laurie,
I really wanted to do this event but August 26th is my Father's 92nd birthday and we're having a celebration in Philly. Maybe next year.

Thanks to all who came out for the caravan. We started out with 20-something cars and as we caravanned up, other vettes saw us and folded into our line. [:)] When all was said and done, we had 40-50 vettes in our caravan. [B-)]

Hope all had a good time. My whole body is aching from walking around searching for parts and I'm exhausted. Got some stuff but not everything on my wish list for both vettes...C4s are interesting to shop for. I wish my neighbor didn't decide to use some power tools this morning at 8 otherwise I'd sleep in till noon.

On the upside, the seats from Al Knoch for the '94 look great but they didn't finish till about 8 PM. [:O] They did give me some $ off though so I guess it worked out.
