Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals

[mudjnky]

I just got a flyer from Carlisle that said Linda Vaughn and Jungle Pam will be at the show.

[bkhpah]

I cannot explain why, but of all the national events held at Carlisle {Ford, Chrysler,etc} GM is by far the worst. The turnout for the GM marks beside Camaro is pathetic. I am disapointed more and more every year..BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[CamarosRus]

Brian, Apparently you are correct. I've heard year after year that the ACES Chevelle regional event is always the same weekend or therabouts. Nobody can mediate or negotiate a plan where as the high quality Chevelles can support G.M. Carlisle. I'm not in the know as to why the Novas, Buicks, pontiacs etc etc dont support the G.M. Carlisle event.
Thanks to the American Camaro Assoc there is a good turnout of Camaros. This is also the only show in the country that runs a top notch restoration judging, aka LEGENDS. I'd also be remiss if I didnt mention Steve Shaugers bunch judging Survivor "VINTAGE" Camaros.
Anyway we can only hope that G.M. Carlisle gets better, bigger, but with $4.00 per gal gas looming, we'll be lucky to maintain the mediocre turnout we already have......

[Alss]

I would like to go to all GM show, but yes it is the saem weekend as ACES and with the poor reviews year after year why should I?? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif and $4.35 diesel aint helping none either

With the Chevelle show established in Maryland, not much in the Chevelle world shows up that's for sure. Once years ago, other marks had "mini-nats" during GM. The Novas did it and had a good turnout, BUT you would be lucky to see ten Novas today. The Ford guys make the GM guys look bad. There will be more Merkurs than Buick, Olds and Pontiac combined. The Camaro show field is the ONLY thing keeping that show afloat. Its a dirty fithy dust bowl with freaky summer storms that blow in. It is not on my must do list...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

[m22mike]

I went last year for the first time, was not impressed.
And for sure the Camaro's are the only strong point of that show.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

The Nova Club held a mini-nats there the first or second year, actually took home the 'Club Participation' award! However, the Nova club prefers a smaller, more intimate venue on the grounds of a hotel - as it fosters the 'family' atmosphere that has proved successful for the last 27 years! (How many single marque car clubs can boast about that type of longevity?!) It's also a busy time of year, there are a lot of shows trying to snag your car.

I like going to the Camaro Nationals - with a few other GM brands tagging along! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jl8z28]

the Chevelle show changed it date this year its not on the same date as the GM show, that is what I was told by the guys that run the club.

Watch what you say about Linda. You're treading on holy ground there....

If all you're looking for is visual satisfaction disregarding accomplishments or history, the Bud Girls are usually there.....all 87lbs of them. But nobody's going to be asking them for an autograph in 40 years.

[Nova Jed]

I have to agree that the turnout at the GM show was not that spectactular last year. The first year I went, they had the Nova club participate and it was awsome to see that many Novas and Camaros in one spot! The Camaros are great and also the Chevelles, but Novas tend to be somewhat of an uncommon place at shows. What gives??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Charley Lillard]

I try to go each year and have a great time. Probably the most Camaro's I have seen in one spot.

[Steve Shauger]

Darren, You will have a blast at Carlisle. If you are in to Camaros this is the place to be. This show pulls around 700 camaros in from everywhere. The people are great and and the cars are outstanding as well. This is more of a car event/show rather than a vendor-swap meet. There are still plenty of vendors but not nearly the draw of spring and fall meets (Its GM only which limits vendors). I have never been much of a swap meet person, I rather utilize connections or the internet for purchasing rare or hard to find parts.

Regarding the other brands not being as involved; well all it takes is a little commitment on their part. Its a great venue with lot of potential, which the ACA(Camaro Nationals) has taken advantage of and is growing.

Looking forward to hooking up... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I think that is the 68 ralley green Dana. That is going to be a killer car when completed. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[Steve Shauger]

No, I said prefer factory built cars, however any car with provenance such as this Dana is OK in my book. The ralley green color helps as well http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I'm looking forward to the GM Nats this coming weekend at Carlisle and seeing some friends. I'll be at my normal spots (L-44) most of Fri. and all of Sat. Feel free to stop by for a cold one of your choice.
Also, if you cruise through Bldg.T and see a freshly restored '61 409 Super Sport, please stop by and say hello to the owner. Tell him I think he's a PITA http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif But then tell him I'm kidding. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Starving myself for cheesesteaks! If anyone sees me (Friday) who I have yet to meet, god knows my mug has been all over here. Please stop me and say hi. I'll be with BBBenny and Sammy.

[1969l78]

Watch out for that Sammy http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[Donutblue]

I've only gone to a few of the GM nationals, the abundance of Camaros is the only salvation for the event. Corvette weekend in August has always been great (if you can handle the heat) and I have not missed one in years. My friend said this years Ford event was a big flop with a lite attendance, cars were mostly all newer generation Mustangs. I think gas $$$ will keep some attendance down this year.

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.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

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! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/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! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Holy Cow Joe! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Did the guy's brakes fail?

[camarojoe]

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.

[ORIGLS6]

"Dang Joe, you backed right into somebodys cool Camaro." http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Xplantdad]

That's just crazy... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

[camarojoe]

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. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/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.

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. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

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 !

[Salvatore]

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.

Virtually every time I use Expedia there is a problem. 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.

[737Driver]

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.

[CamarosRus]

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

Nice shots of some beautiful Camaro's-Thanks!!

[RPOL88]

I can't be the only one that wants to know. Linda or Pam???

[737Driver]

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

[737Driver]

On second thought, I'm thinking letting Brian and/or Joe fly the jet may not be the best idea. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[737Driver]

By the way, the best jet the good Lord ever created...

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for the Pic's from Carlisle. We were not able to go.
Too many family commitments. Graduations and such.
Got the Wagon to the ISWC International Station Wagon Club's National Meet in Sturbridge MA. It's No Carlisle but it was a fun Saturday.
Thanks again
for the Look via Pic's.

You know damn well you can't let anyone in the cockpit or you'd lose your job. But I DO feel for the pilot's agony. They get searched and inspected the same as a passenger. But they also have a crash axe in the cockpit, and..............if they really wanted to crash the plane all they have to do is lean forward. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Sorry I didn't get to meet up with any of you guys. I was there from about 8:30 Saturday morning until a little after 5 when I headed home. I tried to hang around my car but there's too much to see and I kept finding myself walking around looking at stuff. I was dreading the 2-1/2 hour drive with the car but it wasn't too bad other than a broken exhaust hanger after hitting a high spot on the turnpike! I had to avoid some serious roadkill as well. Friday night must not be the night to be a deer on the tpk! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Still working on it.. I had someone come up to me. Forgot who it was but they said "I have a Cortez Silver Z, but I'm not bringing it". http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Did a lot of asking around for Champange. Gonna be tough..

[SOM2001SS]

Cool pics, thanks for posting. I was going to attend but was just worn out after Power Tour. It's a shame that the show looks kinda dead compared to Chryslers at Carlisle though http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Trying to figure out why our Benny was parked a mile from the show. Over the hill and thru the trees.http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif I bet his rig has cooties! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Darren, what day did you take those pictures? Looks like Sunday or early Friday? I know Saturday was pretty crowded but still not as many cars as last year.

[DarrenX33]

Friday Jeff. Was hoping you would have your car there. Nils and I were looking for you..

I was there all day Saturday from 8:30 to 5:15. There was a much bigger crowd of cars on Saturday. It's a great show with an awesome variety of GM cars to look at. I think they have a few too many classes of Camaros which made it confusing for a lot of people and the cars weren't organized as well as they could have been. A lot of people were commenting that they didn't know if they were in the right area and there wasn't much of a pattern to the groupings. I think I got around 14.5 mpg for the trip out and back so I can't complain!

[Mr Yenko]

Well for starters I would like to congradulate Kenny on his second year through the Legend Series and taking his 69 L-78 Camaro from 98.3% to 99.9% http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
Second I thank Kenny for his trust in me in taking his car to the Show so he could spend time with his son playing Little League.
And Lastly, I want to Thank Kenny for a BIG eye opener. To becareful of the a-holes that we sometimes call friends. This so called "friend" of Ken's wanted to look at some tires that he wanted to sell and this "friend" was just pedaling them for Ken and that is fine. But when this so called "friend" leaves these tires in the middle of a field with out so much as a F-ing phone call to let me know that he was to busy doing donuts in the lawn then to call me and tell me to come get the tires back or bring them back to me. Thank god for good friends like C. White for calling me to tell me where he left them and I could catch up to J. Dottier to retrieve them. I asked Jeff he was asked to watch them and if he even knew who's they were and with no surprise he had no idea. I wouldn't trust this person now with so much as a bucket of S@*t to watch for me. I apoligize to the nice folks that had to here me rant, i just had to get that off my chest. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

I was in line for the first signing session at 11 am along with a bunch of other people. Got there about 10:45, at like 11:20 they said they hadn't heard from Linda, come back at 3. Pam was there, I thought she looked pretty good for her age. I never made it back to see Linda.

[Steve Shauger]

Ed, Robert and I saw Linda at about 9:00pm and the Sunnyside restaurant.
