I talked to Nick, he said they are doing C6's and total install time would be approx. 2 hours. Now I need to decide if I really want them or not.

Right across the isle from your header install is East Coast Supercharging for your tune. (literally 50 feet away!)

There will be hundreds of Vettes for sale there. I would think you will find a few that tickle your fancy.

Price paid is up to you and your skills & knowledge vs. the sellers!

Carlisle can arrange for the legal stuff and transportation if you so desire!

I'll be loading the trailer this weekend (if it ever stops raining here). I plan on being on my space and set up by the time it's dark on Wednesday, and staying through Sunday.

Stop by and say hi, spaces A19-A23.

I have already started loading some small things. I will load the car Sunday or Monday, everything else Tuesday. Like food, beer, pop, water, grill, coolers, steaks and then the rest of the stuff. Leaving Indianapolis area Wed morning early and should be on space about noon or 1:00pm. Having an afternoon totty and cooking a couple steaks Wed. late afternoon. You are all welcome to come buy but I am not going to feed you. Sorry. I will give you a cold one, just for saying Hi and you say this on the Forum. Mike

It is early yet but people need to be aware of the possibility. Carlisle turns into a real mud bog during heavy rain, let alone a hurricane. Friday appears to be the only good day so far. Planning to leave Columbia around 6AM...unless the forecast changes.

Latest tracking data puts the storm just south of Maryland by 2AM Sunday morning.

Yep but, I agree...need to know...just in case it gets ugly.

Been there when I had my mustang...each time it rained. Yeah that can get ugly in a hurry! I'll make the call Friday night...as to whether I head up Saturday.

Things to do in the rain at CAC:
* Wash your Corvette.
* Find shelter and eat.
* Find shelter and drink.
* Find indoor vendors and shop.
* Just get wet and enjoy it!

I'll be doing all of the above except the first one

True, not pretty however I would expect everyone to be better prepared this time and I would guess it's not likely we'll see winds like that again.

Lets be positive, rain can be refreshing if you don't mind getting wet
