Thanks for all the cool emails and business opportunities, still working on a lot of those and glad you folks understand how important it was to make an appearance at Carlisle.

Carlisle ‘07 Day 3 Final remarks

Monday, August 27th, 2007

carlisle07-112-300.jpg Although there was a bit more drama than we all cared for this year and for my first ever Corvettes @ Carlisle, it is over. Spent 12 hours in the DC / EVS Corvette on Sunday and again I’ll say, the most comfortable stock Corvette seat EVER!

I was able to see my past customer John Thompson’s Vintage Corvette too, glad he got it to the event from California!

While driving I had a lot of time to reflect on our Carlisle appearance… A pleasure seeing old friends and meeting new ones and after talking with a ton of folks at the Carlisle event, YOU do read what I am writing….

I enjoy communicating and appreciate your support, interest and business association, thank-you. I do hate it when an event is over, I enjoying being a part of this lifestyle so much…sometimes I don’t want to leave…

I just came back from the fairgrounds, looks like a mircoburst or something touched down right on top of where we were with Digitalcorvettes. Had a tornado or some sort… Most of the show is intact but The DC tent gone, West Coast Corvettes gone, Adams Polishes gone,Pfadt Racing crushed… as I know this evening thankfully we did not loose any Corvette family members.

What happened was when the parade was ending…
