Just a few junk pics pics from my cell , more will be coming later tonight . I had to break off early as my car was running way over temp. in this heat , but the part I did attend was fun as usual . Thanks Bob , (6Speed98) for setting up a good time





The outside temp , as felt through my onboard readout


My gauges were on fire by the time I got home , and that was with no A/C leaving a sweat trail down the West Side Highway

Oh Josh! That doesn't look good at all. If you don't have a few dead animals in front of the condenser, I would say the stat isn't opening all the way, or what? Post what you find.

Nothing exciting , just issues with airflow and the procharger kit - It gets real cranky when it get into the high 80's and above . It will be going into the Vette Doctors next week , they will figure out a way to make it work

Josh that sucks! I was looking at similar temps yesterday while doing the speed limit

220 coolant
230 oil
212-215 trans

I don't even wanna discuss what they were when I had to stop for five minutes of toll traffic

Anyway, the beginning of the run looked like fun Glad everyone had a good time.......waiting for the rest of the pics

No one else is gonna be back untill about 7 , maybe later with traffic . I wouldnt mind if I saw those coolant temps when I was doing the speed limit , but this was taking it REAL easy .

Beginning of the run was fun though

Trust me, I didn't see more than 10 over it........I saw those temps four blocks from my house. I literally watched the red needles rising when I stopped for the toll......I've never seen them move that quickly - this was my face

Only difference is........my problem should be solved in another day or two - I'm sure Carmen will make it work for you - I feel your pain

Nah, no glitch.......just not enough coolers - my fault for thinking that one big radiator could handle all three systems.

7lbs huh? All in the bucket seats of the vette

Getting back to the thread title topic - I didn't take many pics this time. Danny and a few other folks had their cameras pointed in every direction, so I just took it easy and enjoyed the ride.

It was a great run with no traffic problems. (OK, there was one traditional cruise occurance, but I'll let the guilty party explain themselves)

Amazingly we had great weather the whole way, and within 15 minutes of sitting down for lunch at the restaurant the heavens opened up with buckets of rain. By the time we all finished eating, the sun was out and the roads were dry.

Great route plan Bob! My favorite cruise to date!

So here are a couple pics I clicked from today:

Bob tells us where to go:


We stop to look for eagles:


Eagles elude us:


Ben teaches proper spaghetti twirling technique:


The photographer's table actually gets caught on film:


And Danny takes on the worlds largest and sloppiest cheesesteak:


I'm looking forward to some of the other guys' pics too!
