Special Day in Laharpe

[mayor_b]

Thanks to every who attended the large gathering at the Gibb Dealership today. Congratulations to the 5 owners of the 2002 ZL-1 Camaros. We had 2 Hugger Orange, 1 Silver, 1 Maroon, and 1 white Camaros.Rumor is that we may do it again in the near future. Thanks again and hope to see everyone Aug, 1st & 2nd for the 5th Annual, Ken

I talked to Barker and Murphy today. They were pretty stoked about how well the day went. Sounded like a couple Magazines and a few News Crews were there ? Helen Gibb was a Delight as always. I hope Barnhart didn't steal any more Kids.

[mayor_b]

We kept the grandkids away. We had 2 tv stations, 1 radio, stories going to 3 mag. and 4 newspapers. Guess who got the tv interviews. kb

[Charley Lillard]

Oh sure, let Barnhart do the interviews. Now everybody will think Camaro people are Criminals....

[ORIGLS6]

Charley,
You'll be happy to hear the only car he broke today was his own. Matt wouldn't even let him drive the new car. They stuck Ken in the 'old' car /ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif while Matt fried the tires of '02 #16. He DOES know how to do a burn!
Pretty neat day.

Does Barnhart's car have the line lock option /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif

[barker]

An ol' drag racer without a line lock ?? NO WAY !! Yes, it does have the line lock. Does anybody out there have pictures of the 2 Barnhart cars doing the burnouts ? It would be great to see them !

[ORIGLS6]

Dennis,
I have the shots but I don't have the software loaded for the new camera yet. I'll work on it Thursday and see if I can post them. Hopefully someone else will beat me to it.

I was one of the lucky ones to pick up my 400 hp - ZL1 in LaHarpe on the 31st. GMMG (Matt Murphy and crew) did a super job on all the cars. My car has the distinction of being the only 2002 ZL1 bought and sold in Illinois. I have only driven it 13 miles but it is very fast and smooth handling and operating. I am comparing the "fast" by my 73 Z-28 RS with a 502 ci engine, 2-4's, 3.73 gear, automatic with 3500 stall - it is no slouch. The Mayor of LaHarpe helped make the 31st a memorial day in LaHarpe.

[mayor_b]

Thanks for the kind words, We had a lot of help, rumor is
03-01-03 weather permitting it might happen again. stay tuned

[Kim_Howie]

I was taking pictures that day and the only smoke off Ken's car was the clutch.Maybe somebody needs to show him how to do a burnout. hah hah /ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif

[mayor_b]

[Charley Lillard]

If Kens goin, I ain't goin............

[DarrenX33]

Barnhart? I heard about him. I am leaving my kid home. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Stefano]

I hear a rummor that there may be a few special guest appearances. I know that I plan to attend the special event.

[DarrenX33]

Sounds good. See you down there.

[Stefano]

Does anyone have specific info on the particular cars to be delivered?

[JChlupsa]

I want to say LVCAMARO's Hugger Orange will be delivered but you would have to ask him

[LVCamaro]

NOPE! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Steve, I know my garnet red, Hand's cortez silver, Stuber's fathom green, ?'s plum colored are being delivered. Also 2 others. I was told all are phase 3 cars except one. I thought yours was also? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[LVCamaro]

I WISH, Dave. Through Barker, I'm hearing it will be April, before my #15 is ready. I have a call into Dave/Matt, but no response. Do you think there'll be any added value for getting the LAST ONE DELIVERED? If so, I'll trade my position with a sooner delivery, plus sweeten the pot! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
Kevin H., it suddenly got very quiet over there! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Dave, do you know whether #23 has delivered?

[Clint_69]

So, I can plan on taking yours for a ride on Sunday correct Dave??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Stefano]

I was expecting to pick up ZL1 SuperCar number 60, but have just been informed that it will not be ready for the Big Day.

Good luck and have fun to everyone else.

[barker]

Alright Dave, I see someone s "TAKING YOURS FOR A RIDE THAT THIS SUNDAY IN LA HARPE" ???? Somehow you forgot to mention that to me that "I" was going to get to take yours for a ride !!! Must have just been an oversight on your part. Isn' that right ??!!
See ya Saturday and did you get a hold of Carl ?

Dennis, Matt said the warranty is void if you are behind the wheel! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif I guess you never did actually take me for a test drive. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifClint, you will have your hands full watching Schonye! Yes I did get a hold a Carl. He just had a hernia surgery but is still going to attend. Got a call from the guy I sold the #26 silver ZL-1 car to and he tells me it is going to be in the April issue of Super Chevy. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[82z96ss]

Now ya'll don't forget to bring your digital camera so us other guys can bask in the past moment also. I hope mine is in April also, but with the way things are going I am planning on christmas 2003. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif
