Default Simsbury Fly-In, Sunday September 14th

I'm planning on going...wanted to see if anyone else was as well. Haven't shown a car there, but it's a great event with tons of vintage airplanes and all kinds of cars. My kids love going, so this year they'll get to see "their" Corvette at the show!

Very neat show, great if you have kids too. A bit dusty depending on where you end up parked but it is a real neat show, vettes, antique cars, exotics, you name it. Plus some scary old planes I wouldn't dream of going up in, yet they flew in and out fine.

We went last year, met Wayne Carini poking around my car. Had a good time. All 3 grandsons loved the cars & the planes.

Got much of my polishing done today...looking forward to going, I've been the last 2 years but my car wasn't done...it was part of my motivation to finish putting it together!

Absolutely...I was thinking about leaving like 8-8:30...whatcha thinking?

Almost was going to be a no go for me...fuel sender started leaking badly last night (it's only 6 months old), woke up and the whole house smelled like gas. Called around at work and no one has one or could get one here by the weekend. Took it apart tonight. Turned out it was just loose, I bent the tabs up a bit and it seems to be dry now.

Won't be poking around the 31 this year. Have fun. Part of Wolcott road will be closed for westbound travel in the morning.

Thanks for the heads-up...I saw that on their site so we'll just go around a bit...
