I can't believe it I was chosen for a celebrity pic at Carlisle (Pic's)
 
First off I want to thank Roberto Simoes from the Corvette Cavalry for making my car his pick on Saturday.

My father flew all the way up from Houston Texas to go to Carlisle with me, so this was his first car show LOL. My parents have never really understood why I was so into to hotrods and cars, but him getting to see the Carlisle event and me win an award was not only an eye opener for him, but an amazing moment for me aswell.

We now have another enthusiast, and I think he's going to purchase a 50th anniversary C5 when he gets home!:eek:

Here are some pics from Carlisle:

Pic right before the Saturday night parade that will never be forgotten! Tons of wind, and limbs falling on Corvettes. We were very lucky not to get hit with anything:eek:

Thanks again Roberto! My Celebrity pick Sticker!

Brian actually it was! The judges comments were:

" 46,000 mile daily driver/ drag racer, and it looks showroom new!"

Adam did stop by to take a look aswell! Wish you could have been there longer Evil!

p.s. saw XLR8BYU take some laps on the auto cross yesterday before we left, he did well!

Congratulations! I saw your car there, it was definately looking "sick". You deserved that celebrity pic choice. :cheers:

FLATOUT 08-27-2007 07:15 AM

When I came across the stage the annoucer was like " well here comes the younger generation folks, for those of you that dont know Sick means Cool, or Great"
