Corvettes At Carlisle
Carlisle, PA
August 24-26, 2007
Here
you see Bob Pinckney, Joe Calcagno,
and Karen Pinckney looking at Bob and Karen's
new air-box '57.
Dropping

New
York's very own Jerry
Vandernoot secured a new hardtop
for his ride.
(Lt to
rt) Bill Miller II, Lance Miller, and
Bill MillerIII. This is a passing to the new
generation event.
Corvette
Plant Manager Wil Cooksey won the
Tire Smokin' contest. The right rear tire may
have just had a little too much stress placed on
it, as you can see it shredded and damaged
the fender in the process. But to make
lemonade out of a lemon, look at the next
picture for the end of the story.
Corvette
Plant Manager Wil Cooksey auctions
a rear fender that was slightly customized during
the tire smokin' contest. The money raised
went to charity.
Mid
Atlantic Chapter invited all SACC members to a wonderful dinner at General
Pickett's
Buffet in Gettysburg.
Here's
some more of the happy,
contented diners.
And a bad
storm that produced a tornado
that hit the fairgrounds shortened the road tour.
Max was a
VIP judge. Surprisingly he
chose this '58. He explained that he
personally knows that it is difficult keeping
a car in show condition. This owner did
just that.
If
you are wondering what the fairgrounds looked like after the tornado, check out

So that's SACC president Max Brockhouse's pictorial run-down on
the 2007 Corvettes at Carlisle. SACC
had a primo parking area right near the entrance, across from the Subway
restaurant that is on site. Hmm, I am
wondering if that is strictly a coincidence. Anyway, be thinking about
attending the 2008 show if you couldn't make this one.
