Great pics, John! Thanks!
Random things: 1. Did the weather hold? 2. That 3900.00 76 for a project, fair deal for a VIN to do something cool with 3. That 79 4spd colour combo is neat! Very different 4. Big crowd? 5. Make it to the Middlesex Diner? 6. I love the Ron Fellows edition 7. The storage space in a C8 is the same as in a C7, just split over two bays - the frunk and trunk 8. When are you all getting a C8? 9. I love Mosport Green!! 10. The Bowling Green C7 is a fave... 11. Carlisle Blue is another fave, just needed a deep red interior 12. I love black rose. The Vette I drove at the Ron Fellows Corvette Driving School was black rose. It had the 3LT interior package, lots of Alcantara with black leather and red stitching! Sexy as hell 13. Did you all buy anything? Being nosy. As always, John, great pics!!! Thank you for sharing, it almost felt like being there. |

1. Did the weather hold? Not really. We bailed just after noon on Friday, and it was starting to drizzle. When it wasn't raining, it was hot and/or windy—likely the worst overall Corvettes at Carlisle weather in a decade. 4. Big crowd? I believe it was a good crowd considering the conditions, but nothing like last year's record crowd. We saw more of our friends than we thought we would, but not as many as we had hoped. 5. Make it to the Middlesex Diner? We eat at the Fairgrounds Diner—not the Middlesex Diner. In the years we stay all weekend, I never remember to try the Middlesex Diner. 8. When are you all getting a C8? Maybe 2022/2023. 13. Did you all buy anything? Not much. Ivelis got a couple of shirts from the Corvette Museum, and we got a couple of nicely constructed red Corvette masks from a vendor who was obviously a seamstress. I will shortly buy some parts from Top Flight (was Corvette America); we're trying to support vendors who made a showing. |

Love the red C4/C8 shot and the long view down the road with Corvettes parked everywhere shot. A few others as well but I find my tastes mellowing. |

Nice report John. As I said the other day, Carlisle is on my list of events I want to attend. I love the mid-year Marina Blue/white color combo, as well as Carlisle Blue. Still waiting to see a C8 in person. Holding judgement as to whether or not I would ever be a buyer, until I see if I could get enough luggage for a trip in one.

thank's for the update, John!!!
The C8 has a lot of room for storage... the rear trunk will hold a medium sized adult male. Also, the frunk has quite a bit of room. The first pic shows the top stowed in the trunk... think how big that top is and how deep the trunk is! The 2nd pic is of the frunk. Just make sure you tie it down so when the frunk lit flies off... |
