Corvettes at Carlisle pics from MikeFurman@Criswell***
What happens when you mix the following over three days: Perfect weather...5,000+ Corvettes...100,000 people....100+ acres...Answer~It equals one helluva great Corvettes at Carlisle Event! I had my '15 Z06 parked at the Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Race Track Tent and spoke with hundreds of Corvette enthusiasts daily. I have attended Carlisle events every year since 1978 and the weather could not have been better! Scroll thru the pictures and enjoy.

~Rick Niland took this photo of his wife Barb and I. Two of the nicest folks you could ever meet. This is tough work but I know someone has to do it.
~Got invited to the Celebrity Lunch and sat across from Reeves Callaway and Chris Chessnoe. Reeves told a great story about when he visited Zora Duntov's house in Michigan many moons ago.
~My best friend from NJ's son Pino and I. I have seen him grow up from day 1 to age 30 and getting married in November. Love this kid and his Father.

~Magic man...Ben from Adams is the best!
~Beca and Mike from Alabama picked up their new Z06 right from Callaway and attended Corvettes at Carlisle for the very first time.
~Z06 #66 made the trip down from Mass...
~Spice Red Edition on display. I hear its still two months away from the constraint being lifted.
~Chevrolet had on hand many capable people to talk about the new 2016 Corvettes.
~Thursday morning I pulled on to the Fairgrounds and went to the wash area...stocked with Adams cleaning supplies.
~I proceeded to go thru the vendors and found this magazine with the address label to ZORA ARKUS DUNTOV!
~The new C7R Convt in Black. Check out the tonal striping/lettering in the Convt roof.
~Pair of cool C1's
~Spice red interior.

Great pics! Weather was beautiful, and I saw 2 Vettes with kid-sized cars made to match. Future Vette drivers I'm sure!

One of these years I have to get out to Carlisle! It looks like so much fun! It's not really that far of a drive for me either (It's about 7 hours)

It always felt like fall was tuning up when I left Carlisle. Esp if it was in a vert. Back in the day most of the action was on the back side of the grandstand.
Thanks for taking the time on those pics. I enjoyed it.

Your photos exude a Corvette "Family" atmosphere- very friendly and inviting. I almost feel like I attended the Carlisle festivities. I enjoyed them. Nicely done.
