~Another Corvettes at Carlisle Show is in the books. Yes it's still on today but I was on site from Wednesday afternoon thru Saturday 3:30pm. I couldn't have possibly had more fun, met more Corvette enthusiasts or had better weather! The absolute best part for me were the many dozens of folks who went out of their way to come and thank me for all that I do for the Corvette hobby. I was blown away at the gratitude that was awarded me for these delivery posts, stories and throwback pics that I share each Sunday morning. It's become a right of passage sort of speak sitting down at the computer on Sunday mornings at 5:30am (after I feed and walk the dog) and compiling my weekly pics and putting a story or two together. So enjoy todays pics from the Carlisle Event I just attended along with 100,000 thousand other people, and if you've never been...get there...it's well worth it. I'm fortunate I only live 90 miles South of the Carlisle Fairgrounds but I met folks from as far away as Australia so clearly it was on their radar to attend the Worlds largest Corvette Event.

Thanks for sharing the photos! It appears as though a fun time was had by all. I wish I could have made it, but job requirements & work hours got in the way once again.

Maybe after I retire, it might be possible to make it up to Carlisle.

As for a favorite picture? Too many good shots to choose just one.........but the trailered C1 with all of the dirt on it stands out - as does the "You've waited your whole life for a 'Vette" advertisement. Keep them coming!

As always...above and beyond the call of duty.

Sorry I missed you at Carlisle.....you were either tied up or out and about each time I went by your spot. The weather was the best I had seen in about 20 years of attending. Two photos below...one is the scene where the "moss car" was found (took it from the seller's binder collection) and the second is the artwork of a nice lady....she made that from snippets from car magazines. It was awesome! Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. The photos are great; especially the '73 red T-top Vette; just like my '73 that I owned and drove daily for over 20 yrs. Brought back nice memories. Looking forward to additional weekly Vlogs.
