Default Rat Pack - Langley Pace Lap (PICS)

Hey RAT PACK the other thread was getting large so started another with the pics from last night. Doug as always great job. To all the new faces that I had never met before you all rock and I hope to see you all again soon. So here are the pics:


Didn't get any action shots as I didn't have my C5-copilot (Jynean) with me but here we are lined up.


























There was very little room so that we could all park together but here are a few of us at the Quaker Steak and Lube food joint.




The food joint was pretty cool they had a room that we called the corvette room as 98% of the pictures and memorabilia were corvettes. They even has a C3 hanging upside down.




As we waited for our food and also ate dinner we thought something was missing but what could it be?




AAAAHHHHHHHHH we figured it out. It needed to be RAT PACK inducted. So with a club sticker provided by Joe, I tagged it.





Now it looked much better



Dinner was good but some needed tissues to wipe thier eyes and milk to cooldown the atomic sauce. While others were surprised by the atomic dipping sauce for thier french fries. All in all a great night. Oh disreguard Dougs friend with him middle finger up. I think he was just saying he was no#1.




We will all have to do something again soon. I know some of us are driving up to Kerbecks next month so if your interesed let Joe or I know. Again we will be leaving Friday morning.

The wedding was a blast! The reception was on a roof top with a pool. We groomsmen threw the groom in the pool towards the end of the party. We all waited about 30 seconds and jumped in after him. A few minutes later the bridesmaids jumped in as well.

Yes, we had two spin out into the grass coming out of turn 2 (I think). One was right in front of me! Looked awesome... I took it easy around the turns and hammered it on the straights (had the wife in the passenger seat).

I am surprised no one mentioned the Einstein that walked into the room spouting his vast Corvette knowledge....

This hockey puck walks into the room with his buddy, points to the C3 hanging upside down on the ceiling (see states evidence in the earlier posts) and points to it and says "It could be a 63...no, there is no thing in the back window, it must be a 64...yeah, it's a nice example of a 64"

Little did he know that there was a table full of Corvette enthusiasts sitting right there, to go in for the kill and joke him before his back was completely turned.

BTW, it is a 1978 25th Anniversary badged (I don't remember if there was a specific 25th anny package, or just a badge) C3

Any of you Virginia Rat Packers able to recommend a Chevy dealer with a good C6 Corvette mechanic?

I need a fuel pump replaced quick in a 2005 C6 A4, and I know that a good mechanic can drop the fuel tanks without dropping the entire rear end.

Dealer X wants $1800 for the labor alone, since he thinks he has to drop the entire rear end.

I had the fuel pump replaced 2 years ago, so I know a good tech can do it.

Problem this time appears to be the leveling pump or device, leaving the right tank full and the left tank empty.

I am enroute to Hampton from PA on Wed, and need this addressed quick - any suggestions appreciated. Gonna try Casey Chevrolet if I don't get better suggestions.

My apologies for high-jacking your thread, but Southeast is a big geographical CF section.

Hey Trunk Monkey - you owe me a cup of coffee!

Thanks all

I was one of the inner track travelers. I was a little to heavy on the loud pedal on the turn, no damage so all is good. I didn't let the spin stop me, on the straight away I was coming down on it enough to fishtail. I need to find a place I can do that more often.
