My '73 got to ride back to Long Island with some of the cars that were on display for the race car reunion

A big thanks to Frank Stech and Elaine Raisner for arranging such a great event. Special thanks to Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair for his work on the car and arranging the transportation.

My wife and I stopped in on Friday... we did not realize that the NCRS display was actually outside the gate at Carlisle!! Live and learn... It was a super display with my particular interests being with Ed's '65 L78 and Pappy's '63 SWC... Hats off to all!!

Unfortunately, Building G is located on the perimeter of the fairgrounds, so a lot of people don't know it's there. Stop by next year!

I also missed it Steven. Is the NCRS Gallery at Carlisle each year or was this something special for 2009? Thanks for sharing William!!

Re: NCRS Gallery at Carlisle pics

It used (three or more years ago) to be in a tent on the fairgrounds. It then moved for one year someplace else outside the gate (I forget where) and for the last two or three years has been in the G building.

The NCRS Gallery has always been a great example of NCRS cars thanks to the hard work of Frank Steck and Elane Raisner. Chip and now Lance have been most kind over the years in allowing NCRS the chance to display the cars that demonstrate what we do.

If you have missed it in the past, don't repeat that mistake. Of course I admit to being just a little prejudiced about the display.

I stopped in and I hope I did not leave too much drool around the Bryar Blue 72 LT1 Convertible. Gorgeous

Re: NCRS Gallery at Carlisle pics

Hi gang, that's my yellow 65 in those shots took alot of photos. I failed to meet any of the people who said they would stop by, so I guess many people had a hard time finding. That god for that building, it was alot better then sitting out in the rain. All the cars were super, and again thanks to Elaine and Frank for all the time and effort they put in every year.

3rd year at carlisle and the first in the gallery. We only found it because my wife was on line with the Mrak K's friend waiting to get an autograph from Mario Andretti. An outstanding display!
