Nice... would be interesting to understand the logic behind who they selected to offer passes to. I assume, even if I were to be considered, I’ve disqualified myself with my openly stating that, no manual = no C8 for me.

Ya I’m sure they really give a **** about your open proclamation.
If I received an invitation, I honestly don't know if I would go. I guess it don't mean as much to me as it does to some/many.
Congrats on your invite!!!
Well, I will be going.

I would be interesting to take a poll of all the people who got passes, and see if any of them owned a Corvette with a manual. I'm thinking perhaps not.
Shortly the cars will be shown other places. No big deal to see it on 7/18.
I plan to go to Carlisle next month.
I’d go to kerbeck but can wait.
I can’t, I’m doing both. Hopefully at least two C8s at Kerbeck and every color at Carlisle. Both events a 100 mile drive for me in opposite directions. Probably do each on the Friday dates.

You really think the Gen is scanning social media and Forums to disqualify people

You should keep those afterwards, it would be a neat collectible to have. Not saying they'll be worth even a penny in the future, but still a neat item to have that most will toss in the trash once it's over.

Agree. On an immature level I can’t help but feel a little sour grapes over other owners being chosen but I take comfort in it appearing to be completely random. If it was all press/media/social media influencers, I could care less...but it’s not.
I’ve owned 9 Corvettes (I know I’m not alone or near the top in that regard), been a rabid Corvette fanboy since I was a teenager (also not alone in this), have a large Corvette racing “Jake” tribal tattoo across my back AND converted a Porsche buyer into a Grand Sport owner! Lol.
We are all fanboys and girls in our own dedicated way.
I actually credit the Corvette for motivating me through school, college and to later start a small business which I still own 18 years later. The Corvette was always the carrot that my mom reminded me I could have if I studied and worked hard it could one day be mine. So I have that...oh yeah, and a kick a** C7 in my garage that I can to drive to work!

2011 Z06Z07 with a manual is the car that I am bring to the event. Something about a corral for owners, much like IMSA races I assume. The reasons that I was picked was because: I live close to the event
I responded very quickly.
That is it. Just lucky.
