Default Chip Miller of Carlisle Productions passes away.

I was just informed the Chip Miller of Carlisle Productions has died. Chip is legendary for his efforts at the great Carlsle swap meet and the hobby. He gave us a stage with GM Carlisle and the Camaro meet that is second to none. A sad day...BKH

What a shock. I had known of Chip for many years, but had never had the pleasure of meeting him until this fall. We spent quite a bit of time visting about Yenko Chevrolet, Don Yenko and his cars, and the supercar hobby, past and present. A sad day indeed.

Wow! What a shock! Sad day is right. We met him this summer at the NCRS convention. Great cars, even better guy!

Wow and just today I opened a Invitation to the Corvette event for Vintage Race corvettes this fall from him and his brother.

Iam sorry that I will not get to meet him in person. I have know who he is for years but never got up that far to get to meet him.

Such a loss. I bet he has had a hell of a good life though.

--------I have known Chip Miller since the very first Carlisle event he and Bill ever had. Some time around 73/74. For me he was simply the nicest guy on earth,and I have known a bunch of nice people. His posative attitude was legendary. Sometimes long periods of time would pass between meetings,but every time we saw each other it was like we hadnt missed a day. Every once in a great while you meet someone who always seems to be on the same page and that is what our relationship was like. I will miss him greatly............Bill S

-------Pantera; Bill was not his brother. They just shared the same last name,and passion!

I am sorry to hear this although I heard that Chip was ill from a friend that attended the NCRS meet in Florida recently. I had visited with Chip in November in person about vintage racing and documenting vintage race cars and at the time, I had no idea he was ill. He looked great.
He put on a seminar about vintage race cars at the Chevyfest in November. I would always see him at Road America and we would visit. This is certainly a loss to the car community.
