The Car is Packed and Corvettes at Carlisle Awaits . Route Update

Hi to all,

As I prepare for the trip to Carlisle, my first stop will be in the Lexington MA area on Thursday August 20 in the AM. I will be looking at a 58 and 67 that have been owned for 40 + years.

If you live in the area and want to have me document your car as one my 30+ year owners, please PM or email me jackpanzica@gmail.com . If we can find a local park to meet......

Thursday PM, I continue on to Ed Johnson's shop in Bridgewater , MA to do last minute prep on the car. Yes , I get to change the oil and filter with the car on a lift....nice not to get oil in your face.

Ed donated the rear end that Gary Ramadei rebuilt for me.

If you live in the MD area

Hi to all, a good friend is having a little party for me after Corvettes at Carlisle. Here is his post, please feel free to come, (need to drive your car) the contact info is in the post.

For those of you that have tuned into the Forum for the past few years, I'm sure you've followed the adventures of "Jackfit", the self-proclaimed "Corvette Vagabond" and his 2010 48-State trip around the USA, followed up by his 2012 trip throughout Europe! Well, Jack's packing the car once again and hittin' the road in a week or so for a mini-trip around the Northeast and Mid Atlantic (http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...tes-await.html) to take in Corvettes @ Carlisle and to visit family and friends along the way.

Jack's trip will take him to the Baltimore area late this month, and he's graciously accepted and invitation to stay with my wife and I on Monday night, August 31st. To celebrate Jack's return to the area, I'm planning a casual cookout (just the basic "food groups" . . . burgers, brats and brews!) for a small group (15-20 guys) of local Forum members that RSVP (first come, first served) to tomaustin52@yahoo.com.

Please note the only REQUIREMENT . . . you must bring your Corvette (rain or shine). NOTE: Jack is particularly interested in meeting you if you've owned your Corvette for 30+ years (I already have 3 guys planning to attend who are over 40 years!). Not to worry guys . . . I live in a small, quiet, well lit cul-de-sac and can accommodate 6-7 cars in my driveway, and my neighbors will likely surrender their driveways for the night as well.

So . . . clear your calendars and shoot me an email quickly . . . it will be a night to remember! I guarantee it! I look forward to seeing you on the 31st!

Hi, computer down, have to use phone to post . Rear end is great. At highway speeds 70-90 with average 75+ I got 16-17 mpg. About 3 mile per gallon then the 3:70


Great time with Dahogan and Midyear Frank. I judged a big car show with them. Off on my own tomorrow, just driving back roads of Ohio and southern PA , no destination or member to visit till Wednesday , when I will be in Pittsburgh. Leave Pitt on Thursday for Carlisle.


To members, if you live along Route 40/70 I will be on the road for two days, Let me know if you want to say hello and show me your car.

Hi Jack, Nice trip photos and hope to meet you there. I followed all of your trips. This one may seem short in comparison but wise on choosing Carlisle this time. You will really enjoy it. I drove 1000 miles to attend last year in my C6, well worth the trip.

We are looking forward to hosting everyone! The weather forecast looks incredible and the cars are already trickling in!

Life is good,

Lance

I'll be coming again, 1000+ miles from Florida to get there. This time in my friend's Carlisle Blue Grand Sport. Looking forward to the event. Thanks for doing what you do Lance.
