Going to Carlysle, need suggestions
We are taking the 98 to Carlysle this August, and I wondered if anyone had suggestions on emergency equipment to take along (other than beer and money).
I have been a C2 guy for most of my life, so I'm pretty familar with most of the necessitities for the 67. The C5 is a different story, anyone have any recommendations?
TIA

I'm carrying a tire plugging kit and DC powered air pump (no runflats!), and a small tool kit with wire cutters, pliars, screwdrivers,etc...
be sure to park with the Pace Car Registry!
(that's where I'll be)

no emergwency suggestions... but with you owning a C2, definitely walk through the entire flea market area (will take almost an entire day). You'll be surprised what is for sale there.

The wife and I have driven our 98 from 130 miles north of Carlisle to Daytona Beach both last year and this year. I run with the runflats, AAA, credit cards and a BIG smile. See you at Carlisle.

1. Go to Hershey park to see fake (simulated) chocolate factory. Very interesting.
2. Go a few miles east on 422 (near Hamburg). Look for Roadside America--it is on south side of highway. Huge building full of working model trains. Tour takes 45 min. You can push all kinds of buttons to make trolley cars and circuses and trains work. Take a camera. Owner has passed on, but he built most of this stuff by hand. It even has some model airplanes flying from the ceiling.
3. Go to Lancaster area (route 30). Good soft pretzels that you can make yourself--in Lititz.
4. Send us a post card from Intercourse, Pa. (East of Lancaster, Rt 30.
5. Tons of outlet malls in Lancaster area.
6. Take IH 81 north towards Scranton. Tons of mountains. Actually, look at a map north of Carlisle. Nice mountainous roads up through Pine Grove, Pottsville, Shenandoah, Ringtown, Aristes, Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg is about 80 miles north of Carlisle. Aristes is the town that has a coal mine burning underneath it. Smoke all along highway. Most houses have been torn down. Orig population was perhaps 10,000 if that much.
7. Tons of dutch food in the Schnecksville area--that is where RoadSide America is. Try Shoefly pie. Not sold in other areas of country.

Don't forget ...York, PA and a tour of the Harley Davidson plant. Never been there myself - but I think they only do tours on weekends and you need reservations.

I am also going to Carlisle for the first time. Do you have to register or do you just show up?
Since I also don't have run flats I keep a pair of needle nose pliers, a plug kit, compressor, jack and lugnut socket.

I have been to Carlysle many times when I lived in Binghamton NY. It was a much easier trip from there then SW Fl. I have a 67 coupe and 65 vert which never seem to stop needing parts, so I will empty the bank account. Obviously I will be taking my parts to a pack-n-ship as the 98 will be loaded.
Our club has some outings planned such as Hershey, HD factory, and a brewery.
Several members from our Corvette club are taking the Auto Train from Fl. to Maryland for the Carlysle trip, so if you see an Amtrak train going by loaded w/ vettes, be sure and WAVE!
