2008 Carlisle Report

Post by Luigi »

Update 1

The Corvettes @ Carlisle event is always a great event seeing so many great cars. More significantly for the Callaway contingency, it is the one event of the year where the majority of us unite. Though this year, a few of the core Callaway Owners were not able to make the trek to mecca, it was a very memorable event. We are seeing more new SuperCharged Callaway Corvettes and owners meet us there. We, the Callaway Owners Group are expanding.

Even more memorable for me was a the launch of http://www.tv4autos.com. We has a great launch party during the parade on Saturday and now our own forum has come into existence. WELCOME Aboard!

For Callaway Owners by Callaway Owners!

Enjoy!

Update 2

Through our collective fund raising efforts were able to donate a grand total of $2150 to the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation and also donate a Commemorative "20 Years of Callaway Corvette" poster. At the C6 registry dinner, our leader "Callaway Chris" presented the donation and poster to Judy Miller.

We sold out all of the limited edition print posters. A heart felt Thank You to all the COG members who stepped up to this wonderful cause.

Here are some pictures as Chris announced the donation and pictures of the COG member tables.

Lots of joy, fun, and excitement!

A funny moment at Carlisle....

Three COG members were standing at a vendor booth when the vendor asked, "Is Reeves here at the Show ? I'd like to have him sign my balls..." he said with glee in his eyes.

"That didn't sound right." he said, and then pointed to golf balls in his display case.
