Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
Was your L78 Rag a burgundy color?
I think the Camaro portion of the show has gotten better, while the other makes have dropped off a bit. The Nova club held a mini-nationals at the first GM show, and had an excellent showing (even a debuted a certain gobi beige Yenko Deuce! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif ), but there are a lot of shows competing for the same cars! I go to see friends, and overpay for junk I don't need! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif |

I took my L78 Camaro SS convertible to the first GM nationals show. I had purchased the car from Charlie and sent it to Bob Harris to re-restore. It was a great event, lots of vendors, lots of different makes, a wonderful show. That's where I met Brian Henderson, I had a great time talking with him about his yellow Yenko Camaro, wish I had bought it then. I have heard that the show has not been as good since the initial event, and haven't been back, but I continue to go to the Corvettes @ Carlisle show, will be there again this year.

You could say that... some idiot was trying to take it off an open trailer by himself and forgot he didn't have it in gear when he removed the last axle strap... rolled right off the trailer (without any ramps) and down the hill about 75 yards right into my car. I sold it the next day as-is and bought a 69 SS396 El Camino to drive home. I have no idea where it ever ended up.

Crazy yes... 500 cars in the show field but of course mine's the one it crashes directly into. Actually my dad's '82 Pace Car got lightly grazed too, so I guess its a Barr thing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I figure if I went back to the GM Nationals after that, anyone can! Actually I've been to all of them, and every Fall and Spring Carlisle since 1987.

Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
Yeah. We're square.. Just a long day. I booked my flight thru Expedia. They sent my confirmation a few days before the trip and I used that as a reference. When Sam dropped me at the airport I thought I was an hour early. I then found out I was late cause the flight departure time changed. I was stuck on the wait list for 3 flights that were already over booked so I booked a flight home with another carrier. According to United the flight time changed a long time ago but Expedia never updated my itenerary. I had them on the phone for a while and they finally refunded me $ for the mix up. It was a mistake but they stepped up and took care of me. Nice customer service I say. I'll have no problem using them in the future. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Does not look like I got a photo of Chris's survivor 67 Z. Too many people around it to get a shot. Sorry Chris. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
Brought my customers Red/Black 1970 Z28 for Bowtie, they said if they knew how nice it was they would have put it into Legends, anyway it scored 982. My customer was happy did the car 2 years ago. Great show, great cars but the Carlisle show and vendors was a ghost town !

Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
If it wasn't for the guys from the site and looking at some of the fine restorations that are there it would be a bust! No matter what we can always learn something there. John Karvonen and his friend Dave Valentin set me straight on some good info. Of course Brian H., Steve Shauger and Bob Harris and Craig from Camaro Specialities always add some good insite. I was also glad to have met Rick Hoffmeister out there. I actually had a real good time this year. I learned some key things from a couple guys. Darren added alot to the fun. We always pick on BBBenny! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Coming back from Power Tour I could not print boarding passes for one flight on United because it was thru Expedia. They also didn't tell me the United flight was really a Northwest flight until I was on the phone for a hour. I avoid them when possible but sometimes they have the only seats on the flight you want. |
Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
I try to avoid airports and airlines whenever possible. I would rather drive, even to Europe. I just feel like I have to vomit whenever I think about flying.

Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
On my Air Tran non stop from Baltimore to Seattle.....I had one bag to check. The woman at the counter has the printer spit out the label which is applied around a bag handle, and the small portion goes in the boarding pass jacket/folder they hand you.
Turns out she punched up another last name that started with same SHAR of mine, but was different. I arrive in Seattle and luggage went to Tampa. I'm still awaiting its delivery to my house. In the future I will actually LOOK and READ those small baggage claims stickers !!!!!!!!!!! I did like the Air Tran non stop flight even though it departed 1 1/4 hr late (weather related). No checked baggage extra charge (flown to a different city), complmentary soda, and I booked direct with air line |

Re: Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals
Bruce, et al,
You guys get the humor...you always do. Flying is a bitch. Why?...there is plenty of blame to go around. I will tell you this, if any of my Supercar site buddies are EVER on one of my flights, it will be first class and a tour of the cockpit. What the Hell, I might even let you fly the jet!!! Thanks for flying US Airways...we REALLY do care...regardless of how it seems. Take care, Mark |
