Hope to see some Forum guys and gals at Carlisle, particularly you autocrossers!! Our club is doing the auto-X again - practice sessions on Friday and competition sessions on Sunday. Good chance to show what your vette will do or to learn basics of auto-X - lots of experienced coaches to ride along.

Don't forget to buy your tickets to participate in the downtown parade Saturday night - hundreds of vettes parade into town and park 4 cars wide, remain on display for couple hours - there'll be a band at the town square. Hope to see you!!!

Wouldn't mind trying the Auto-X out there sometime, but this year Solo Nationals is the same week as Carlisle so I won't be making it at all

Maybe next year. Good luck and keep the cones away.

I'm all booked for it and have enjoyed going the last few years but my Dumb A$$ company decided that they wanted everyone to fly into San Diego On the Sat for last minute sales meeting. There will still be the usual crew of 20+ Canadians convoying down, I was looking forward to this event as its always a great Corvette /bonding event and a GREAT place to pick up a bunch of spare parts that will or have broken on the track It was great to meet you last year Donna.

It's tight - two chicanes on the short straights, two laps to each run. It's a fun little course and there is usually some competitive juices going!

Great!! That's why we do the practice sessions and provide some coaches, see you there. Look me up, I'll be working tech/grid and doing ride-alongs.

Yep, verts are good and if you need a helmet, we'll have a few loaners.
See you there!
