NICE Day With BarryK And His Club Yesterday

[ChuckG]

Had a real nice day yesterday with Barry and Linda K, and his fellow club members from the CC or Northern Delaware.

We met up at the York County CC show in Emigsville, up near York, PA. After the show, Lance Miller (Chip's son) led a caravan of the CCND members up to Carlisle, PA for a private showing of his and his dad's Corvette collection.

Amazing collection of Corvettes, especially old race cars. NEAT day.

Thanks for inviting me along, Barry. Chuck

Chuck
it was our pleasure to have you and Linda and I were very glad you were able to be there and you enjoyed yourself.
Of course winning TWO trophies at the YCCC show with your BEAUTIFUL '69 Tripower helped a small bit too I'm sure

Lances collection was awesome to see and he is a real asset to the hobby and i'm sure Chip can look down and feel very proud of him. Lance definitey has the love and enthusiasm for the hobby and the generousity to share it with others. It was a great privilege to see the Miller collection and the entire day was great from the drive out to the show, the weather all day, than seeing the Miller's cars, dinner as a group, and than the WILD drive home.

i'm sorry you couldn't join us for dinner but well get together again another time and do it.

again, it was our pleasure to have you join our club for the day. After all the generousity you have shown me and help you have given me it was good to be able to offer you a small token of my thanks by inviting you along :

PS: that wild drive home i mentioned......... I found out that my Baby (the '65) can keep up with a Calloway on the PA turnpike.
I was behind Jack the whole way home and he keep going faster and faster and I stayed with him. At one point Linda looked over at the speedo and freaked at bit when she saw it read 110 at that moment.
Jack called me this morning and said he called simply because he was amazed that my "old" car was able to keep up with him in the Calloway and the C5 guys. Her siad he actually kept pushing it faster and faster expecting me to drop back and not be able to keep up and was amazed that he never shook me
I don't think I'll ever abuse Baby like that again but sustained speeds of that level for 40 or so miles really made me proud of the old girl.
I was even able to tell Jack that not only did he NOT shake me but that I also had another 2000 - 2,500 rpms left in her easily. Thank god for having an L76 with a 6,500 rpm redline and I was barely pushing over 4500rpm.

Those are the first trophies I've won at any NCCC show in decades.

I never win anything, not even at my own club's shows. I usually either get nothing, or a certificate saying "Thanks For Coming".

The old 69 ran great on the trip up and back. Had to stop for gas on the way home. I get about 10MPG on the old girl.

Sounds like you had a quick run home. It's nice to give them a run every so often.

Now, we hope to see you at the Vintage Thunder Drag Races at Cecil County Dragway in June. Chuck

i'm glad you got the trophies. I NEVER get trophies at any show I go to - good thing they aren't important to me or I would have given up by now


I used 3/4 a tank of gas on the way there and a bit more on the way home because of the fast run.........

Yep, I'll be at Cecil County event. Linda and I are both looking forwars to it and it's already been mentioned in our club newsletter also so hopefully we will bring others from our club also.

Hi Barry / Chuck..

I'll second and third that..A great day at the YCCC show....About 100 cars or so...Some dynamite looking rides and resto's....As was pointed out, the Miller collection was significant....How about the 1953 with the lowest miles in existance on any '53 with only 153 miles!!.....Or the famous "Lead Sled"...or the "Purple People Eater"...But of them all, I'll take the earnhardts C5R...Yikes, has to be scary fast!!! My drive home was lengthened by a 30 minute stoppage on the PA turnpike!!!

110MPH Barry..Knowing you..NO DOUBT!! (LOL):L
