[B]The Car is Packed and Carlisle awaits ! I am planning to attend Corvettes at Carlisle this August 27-30, 2015. I plan to be on the road for about 14 days. ( August 14th to Sept 1) [/B .

Even though I have owned my car for 45 years, I have never been to Carlisle. I hope to have a mini reunion with many of my hosts from the 48 State Tour. Let me know if you are going !

]If you have owned your corvette for 30 or more years, I would like to stop by and add you to my research on long time Corvette Owners.

The map shows the general route (not roads yet) I am taking, PM me with your town and I will put it on the map. Once the map has enough dots on it.

I will plan the actual route. More information to come as I add details and dates of travel. I used this method to travel to all 48 states, and Europe to document these cars and owners. I will be posting to 9 US and European Corvette Forums as well as Facebook. Here are is a link to my web page with details . of my trips to Europe and NCRS National Convention.

Map link- Just click on it. PM with your town and I will put your town on the map . The route shown is just a general direction. Actual roads traveled later. ( I will not post your address , just town)

Hi Tom,

Hope my rear end (me) is ready for long drives, the car is ready, 3:36 means 100 + without red lining engine.

I can put you in contact with a guy in Cumberland md who still has his 1960 that he bought new. If that is in your path let me know.

Jackfit

I hope you and Jim , Frank in Columbus on Sunday 23rd. On phone will get back to you later today

Jack

dahogan

You want pheasant turnovers again or some same day caught rainbow/brown trout this time?

Jackfit

Hi, does that date work? Sunday 23rd. If it does, tell Frank....I have not told him what date yet as I did not know when I talked with him a few days ago. You are going fishing ?


Here is a big one for you.....

dahogan

Sounds like Frank will be in Columbus on the 23rd. I am going trout fishing on Saturday the 22nd. If you like rainbow, brown or brook trout I will bring some to put on the grill. Or if you get here early enough you can catch your own Sunday morning.

Jackfit

Hi , thanks, I should have my route down in a day or so. I know I will be in the Annapolis area on the 31st, Monday. More details later.

One of the members may have a little get together....who lives in the area.

Flash !

Just checked my route and Cumberland MD will be on my way from Pittsburgh via Route 40....scenic way to MD . Let him know I will be on road on Monday , August 31, in his area around 10-12 depending on traffic in Pittsburgh. It would be nice to stop at that time take a break... Please let him know details and if we can meet for some photos stories....

Jack

dahogan

Lets go fishing Jack. We can go any time on the 22-23 or 24th.

Two rainbows, 2 browns and a brook. This was a while ago when I just started, I would release these now for bigger fish.

Hi to all,

As I prepare for the trip to Carlisle, my first stop will be in the Lexington MA area on Thursday August 20 in the AM. I will be looking at a 58 and 67 that have been owned for 40 + years.

If you live in the area and want to have me document your car as one my 30+ year owners, please PM or email me jackpanzica@gmail.com . If we can find a local park to meet......

Thursday PM, I continue on to Ed Johnson's shop in Bridgewater , MA to do last minute prep on the car. Yes , I get to change the oil and filter with the car on a lift....nice not to get oil in your face.

Ed donated the rear end that Gary Ramadei rebuilt for me.

I leave MA and head to Columbus, Ohio on Friday August 21 with a stop in western NY or PA. PM me if you live on the way and want to try and meet.
