    Great concept, but the people who tried to drive it were terrified of the engine’s ability to go over 44,000 rpms, and since the horsepower increased the faster you went there was effectively no top end.  All that on ’60’s tires and brakes.  Yikes!

    Welcome from another PA (Allentown) newbie!  My wife and I will also be at Carlisle, looking forward to a great car weekend.

    billnparts, thanks.  I’m not sure yet whether we’ll be going out on Thursday or Friday, but if we head out Thursday I’ll make sure to link up.  So you’re in Douglassville?  My best friend lives there, he’s a pastor at St. Paul’s Lutheran church.

    Hi, and thanks for the warm welcome!  The model I bought has the Chevette engine.  My wife loves it!

    It’s funny that this group is going to be hanging out with a speedster group all weekend;  Nadine (wife) will be driving and showing the BCW, I’m going to be bringing an old 911 for the autocross on Sunday.  It should be a fun trip.  Nadine’s brother lives in Mechanicsburg so we’ll be spending at least one night at their place, but it’s good to know about the Marriott. 

    Should I contact Carlisle about placement near the speedster group?  I don’t know if they have pre-set parking or if we can pick a spot when we get there.

    Anyway, thanks again for welcoming us, we’re looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out cars like ours.
