Thanks...right back atcha! You have one of the nicest C4s I've ever seen! I'm getting another dyno tune Wed so hopefully mine'll be running good for Carlisle. Earlier the better for me. I'd like to run up while it's still cool and be able to get a decent spot to park!

okay, so my debate between carlisle and NCM has been settled...sort of. It was like 10 to 1 in favor of carlisle on OT:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1168512&forum_id=26
But if I leave DC Sunday as planned, I think I'll miss most of the events anyway.

So....count me in as a strong maybe for Saturday's caravan, and I'll just suck it up and drive back to DC Saturday night, and then leave for CA for real on Sunday and hit NCM on Monday. So many miles...oooohhhhhh...

But, at least I get to see the NoVA gang once more before I leave...

Btw, can I get an oil change at carlisle?

Hey guys, come up Friday for the Forum Dinner. Love to meet everyone. I'll be there Thurs-Sun, so if you see me (I'll be wearing a Forum nametag) stop and say hello.

I'll meet up with you guys at the outlets.

Didn't the Corvette only parking used to be free?

I'm driving up both Friday and Saturday. If I set the alarm early I'd be rolling somewhere ahead of you on 15 when your caravan goes through Frederick. Depends on how tired I am from Friday. Does someone want to PM me with a cell # so I can possibly join up.

Are you going up Route 94 and 34 from York Springs , or going Route 74 from 15 to Carlisle?

BTW, if the weather is like today and yesterday it will be the best for Carlisle in years.

Gonna take 15 to Route 74 this time. You can call Waspie at his cell or I'll PM you mine.

Don't forget, all....corvetteforum peeps meet up at the grandstand at 1 PM (Chip Miller rev/moment of silence at noon).

452/442 to the wheels. I tuned it myself with the DFI while they (Tony's) ran the dyno They told me if I wanted to compare their Superflo to a dynojet, then add 10%. That = 497rwhp I'll be there at Leesburg. It's going to be a late night at the Skins game and downtown...You may see me asleep in my car when you all get there
