National Corvette Caravan 09 ... Underway
Well, we started out our trip this morning. The PA Captain Ernie met us at our hotel this am and we headed off for Breakfest. First part of the run was to Carlisle to met up with the Caravan group.
We passed the GTA group heading back home from Carlilse, you guys all get straight A's for waving!
Our staging area was at Gate #1, can't believe it but we had to each pay 28.00 just to pull into the gate stage and leave an hour later. Oh well it's just another Corvette Tax.
We had approximately 50 cars in the group today and more will be joining us tomorrow.
Had a great run our first day to Clarksburg Pa. In the morning we are to get a police escort through the town and then out of town to the Interstate.
Here are a couple of pictures from today.

Hi guys and gals. Missed most of you at Carlisle.
Today at lunch just before arriving in Bowling Green CSURFER had the largest ice-cream plate of ice cream I had ever seen.
All is well and we are having a great time.
Yesterday, we ran a new road track which is not open yet. AT SPEED!!! As many runs as you wanted.
Had a great time, Dam 6 speed manuals kept hitting the brakes in the apex of the corners and I almost ran over them. Love that paddle shift!!
See you all soon with the real stories.

Yesterday was an unbelievable day. We started out to the track for 8:am. It was supposed be at a cost of 20.00 for 4 laps, paced.
It turned out to be a free track day at full speed, the pace cars were the caravan captains and they were not holding back! I hit 120+ on the straight. Now that the bug has bitten, I think it may be time for some upgrades.
The video is the first 10 min of me following a C4 around the track piloted by Roy ( BOXCAR7), had so much fun, it will take weeks to get the grin of my face.
This is brand new track that isn't officially open yet, and it will be great!
