Corvettes at Carlisle, PA

We came to Carlisle to attend THIS  event, Corvettes at Carlisle    We registered months ago

and this pass grants us admission for the whole weekend

Officially things don't start until tomorrow but today is the day that the vendors were setting up their stalls.  Lots of things for sale, seminars, used parts and tech sessions.  You can also buy a new Corvette from a dealer here

We started out mid Morning from our hotel in Harrisburg and drove the 15 miles down to Carlisle

We brought our canopy and our club banner.  There are many clubs from all over the area.  In fact two Corvette clubs are staying at our hotel so our parking lot is full of 'Vettes

Here we are trying to snap a photo of a butterfly

This butterfly seemed to like my friend

Even the travel Gnome was there

This beauty caught my eye.  I like mid series convertibles.  Maybe one day when I win the lotto

Did I mention there were many used parts vendors there.  If you are restoring a classic Corvette, you may find your parts here if you look had enough

Here's the GM Engineering tent full of  2014 new C7's   Later they displayed a cross section of a C7

so you can see how it is assembled

the transmission is on the rear axle

this may be the transmission cooleer

The battery is behind the right wheel

the oil reservoir is behind the right front wheel

There were lots of cars there even though things don't start until tomorrow.

we even had time to relax and enjoy the day BUT little did we know that there was an extreme storm warning and in less than an hour there would be torrential rains mixed with hail,  and it was still 30c,  Hot and Humid.   We rushed back to our hotel to take cover and have dinner.
