Default Pics from NCM Labor Day

A great week down south ending with the 12th Anniversary celebration at the museum. I took hundreds of pictures every generation (actually every year) Corvette was represented. Annual trip for my wife and I. We always enjoy the drive and the event along with spending time with friends old and new. Got to spend some time with many forum members, most notable were Tracey (TRAYC6) Frank (Another Yellow), Jim (Z06-Jim) John (JBeidl). The weather wasn't great but that was all that was wrong. Had lots of time for conversation and a lot of new information. Enjoy the pics.

Paul

John,

The ride (as you know isn't too bad.) The events are a blast to attend. You'd enjoy it.

The black with flames looks really good, although the Lambo doors detract. Great pictures

I did. About 700 photos, around 500 Corvettes there on Saturday. Very nice to see.

The car is a work of art both inside and out. I too don't care as much for the doors but those are the best implementation that I've ever seen. More importantly, Jim is a great friend of mine and I've seldom met a finer ambassador for the Corvette lifestyle. He truely loves these cars. The pictures could never do it justice.

No doubt, that paint job is a work of art.

Hey Paul, how's it going? We had a blast. Had a long talk with Dave Hill, Tom Hill and Tom Wallace about tops and DBS. We're in Danville, Pa right now. We drove 750 miles today, about 350 to go. Dave and Tom signed my car, and Dave loves Precision Red. He thought it was the perfect color for the lines of the car.

Hey Bill,

Lots of news. Nothing on the Blue Devil (that was the running joke all week with everyone) I had lots of time with all the principles. Here's a link to some additional pics:
