2024 at Carlisle...

So how was it?

How was the weather?

How many C3VR folks showed up?  Any C4VR or C6VR folks show up?

Curious minds would like to know.

I was there on Thursday. Absolutely perfect weather. 
Saw Adam and Dave at the booth under the Grandstand. Was there with 4 other car friends and had a great day. Brought our own food to beat the overpriced vendors. Sat under the trees lunchtime. Bought a few parts but nothing big. Plenty to see and do. The $20 admissions was a bit salty but WTF. 

Thanks for the update.  I've driven thru Carlisle a couple of times when traveling between Colorado and Vermont but have yet to attend the event.

As Bruce said, the weather was great. For Carlisle, it was incredible!

The dinner on Friday was nice.

Overall, it was fairly uneventful. Seemed less busy than the past 2 years.

Had a great time at the event and enjoyed meeting the C3 members at my first Friday dinner.  Thanks everyone for the hospitality.

I did have a mishap on the way home. On 84 just past Port Jarvis a young black bear came running across the interstate and ran into my driver's door.  I was fine and the vette only sustained minor damage. Dented and pushed the side pipe into the rocker panel and some big scratches on the door. The bear jumped up and ran into the woods, so I think he was fine as well.

Could have been much worse if I had hit him head on, so I consider myself very lucky.

WOW! That's crazy!  Glad you are ok and your Vette is mostly ok too!

Thanks Adam

YIKES...!!!  It's bound to happen around us up here in NorthEast Vermont as there are all sorts of critters running around (bear, deer, moose, etc).  Glad you're ok, the bear is seemingly ok and your Vette is only lightly damaged.

DITTO on the Yikes! I hit one with a S-10 pick up a few years ago. He was going the same direction I was in the fog on a rural road in N.E. Pa. Bunted him in the rear, bent the bumper. We both continued on our way. Not sure of his demise, but Deer don't fare as well after being hit. 

I was cleaning the Corvette today, as I am heading to Lime Rock Park tomorrow for a car corral and spotted these black strands in my wheel. It took me a minute to figure out what they were. That Black bear that ran into the side of the car last September.

Amazing he hit hard enough to roll the tire bead back and trap some of his hair.
