I took a big truckload of parts to Carlisle last night - wheels, interior panels, bumpers, rust-free hatch, louvers, struts, gauges, grills, etc. I brought my 1972 240Z ITS race car to display in the race car paddock. I'll be taking another truckload of parts up today and a Z to sell.

My brother sent me this pic of my car with the BRE 510 at Carlisle. :-)

Made it home safe and sound. Great show!

Wish there was more of a forum presence there... Would like to meet other members.

Thanks Chuck. And I had a great time chatting with Ed as well. Please thank him again for me as well.

Wife & I enjoyed it too, a lot of walking. Talked with a member from White Rose Z Club whom we haven't seen for over 25 yrs. he now owns a 300ZX. Took some pics. too.

Lets see some pics or video.

Here is Carlisle in 1993 don't toss car parts at cops.

Fred, Sorry... I should have figured out a way for us to meet up at the show. We probably saw each other there without even knowing it! :disappoin

Have you got your pics uploaded anywhere?

[Fred Sigarto]

I took some, Wife did too, never posted before, is there anywhere on a "how to" page?

[cbuczesk]

I hope everyone had fun! I wish I could have talked more with Captain Obvious and others but I get really busy at the show. There are some big things in the works for next year that I'm really excited about. If there are things about the show that you really liked or disliked please let me know (cbuczesk@comcast.net). Ed wants everyone to have a great time at the show.

My brother was there when they shot that guy. He beat an elderly couple to death before going to the show.

Here is StealthZ's LS6 powered car getting ready to do the on-site auto-x. Awesome looking car!

Yeah, you were clearly rushed and I completely understand.

I would have tried my Z on the autocross, but it just wasn't worth the risk. As I got on the Turnpike that morning I came to the realization that the trip to Carlisle that morning was the single longest trip I've ever taken with that Z! It was also the only time so far that it's seen highway speeds for an extended period of time.

Thankfully it made it to the show and back home again without so much as a hiccup!

Which car was yours?
