Did anybody hear about the disaster at the Corvette Show at Carlisle in August? :blackeye: (Credit to Rodster for passing these links along to me ;))

First link not so 56k friendly

This link to the Keystone State Corvette Club's site contains thumbnails of all the pic's/reaction from a few who were there.

Wow :shocked: . Makes ya thankful that this wasn't us at Ford Carlisle in June.

Wonder if our big yellow and white tent got destroyed? :confused:
 
Besides the fact that it always seems to rain at the All Ford show ...(except last year!) :) there have been some exciting times at Carlisle events. One year part of a building was knocked down by a storm and a other year at a Spring show, State Police shot and killed a vendor (criminal) on the run from the law.

I also tend to remember all of the cheap NOS parts I DIDN'T buy! :mad:

Wow! That's some devastation. :(

The Staties shot a vendor. :eek: That's crazy.
 
The guy was a nutter . Long story (very) short - IIRC he killed his family (or something similar) and went to Carlisle , the cops cornered him and he resisted , threw parts at them and then tried to assault them with an axle & they shot him dead .

firearms in the right hands FTW

:eek: and that
's considered an act of god too right? which means the insurance won't cover it? talk about pwned!

on a lighter note...seemed to be some cute chicks there!
 
How the heck does the front get ripped off?! Seems like a lot of vettes with damage were ugly 80/90's any who. LOL!
 
Wow I didn't even realize this happened. I had gone home that weekend and was passing (and getting passed :cry:; my SVT wouldn't keep up, go figure) by many nice vette's on Friday morning. Such a shame.
 
if you notice on the front corner of the silver vette is says "rebuild able salvage title"
i don't know about any of your insurance companies, but i sure as hell couldn't get an estimate, a reply and a new title in the same day the damage happened.

i think a lot of that damage was existing.

Wow good eye. I never even noticed that.
 
Yea, I believe that pic was taken before the storm hit. Hence sunny weather, ground/car not being wet, many people in the background/ tents still standing etc.

It was probably a posting error and should be with the pic's in the "before the storm" grouping.
