Steve, thanks for doing what I just haven't gotten around to doing (yet) -- Marie is putting me through my paces since a week off playing gearhead (or, at least, supervising the Dutch gearheads). Great pix, and it was a real treat to see another convertible. (Earl Hess, by the way, is the owner of the blue one. You can find his black hardtop in the Events section for a previous Carlisle.)
Great to finally meet you -- hope you make it again next year!
Dan
Can you believe it - it only took 15 years for me to move the content below, from the "Events" section of the old website to where it belongs, here. And here I am thanking Steve Storey for his post of 15 years ago, promising to get to it soon - and now Steve is gone. But his nephew Brian is now the proud owner of his uncle's car! Gotta get him in the Showcase...
