Subject: Re: Corvettes at Carlisle by rklessdriver on 2011/8/27 21:16:30 We just got to the hotel after a decent day on the fair grounds. Over cast, threatening rain all day but nothing more than mist for 10-20 seconds at a time. Got the spoiler for Elsie's 79. On sale too from Corvette America - only $35. The 92 did great on the way up here. Never got over 180*F and knocked down 26mpg on the hwy. Once we got on the secondary roads it dragged the mileage down a bit but the car still averaged 24.3mpg for the entire 203 miles from my door to the fair grounds. Hit a few minor rain showers on the hwy, which I slowed down to 60mph for and didn't have any hydro planning problems with the MT Drag Radials. All that fabricted sheetmetal under the hood gets alot of attention and I've met and spoken with a number of very nice people about the car. Since the hotel is non cancelable we are sticking it out and staying the night. We'll see what it looks like in the morning. Those if you that sent me your number, I'm sorry I haven't called but all your numbers were in my PM list or this thread.... If your gonna be there tomorow post a shout here and I'll call you if we stay. Will |
