Ummm... That would be me.
Man-o-Man...the Oban was flowing.....Thank you guys....
We drank in your honor Vince. I'll have to admit, OBAN is pretty good stuff. That being said, it's still Scotch and my poorly tuned palate still prefers a nice Jack Daniels on the rocks. Or a Manhattan. Or.......
...Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey!!! Mmmmm...
Hey John....Taste this.....
You had to know that was coming....

Hey SueZ, thanks for sharing the lineup from behind. I guess us old fellas didn't bother to huff and puff up the hill to get this shot. It's pretty neat!

BTW, tell Marc that the "Little Bastard" (# 130) is definitely a cool ride and will bring him lots of fun. Good choice.

He looks right at home in that seat.
That skinny little black speedster with "turbo" that Susan M. posted is really cute!
Dale:
That's Rob Young's car. You may have read about him giving a ride to a Cancer patient just recently.
It's running a WRX Subaru 2.5 liter, I think, with a super-mega-puffer turbo in there. My racing son got to drive it and stated that it was beyond "seriously quick". Says a lot, coming from Chris.
The rest of the the car is immaculate, too. I think this was Rob's third year coming to Carlisle.

Actually, it's a 2.0L. A lotta punch in a relatively small displacement engine.
Rob came to Carlisle two years ago in '07, and then again this year. I had the pleasure of driving the car in '07 when Rob had tossed me the keys to take a quick spin. Hoss is correct - it's a 2.0L motor with the stock WRX turbo setup.
I thought it was pretty stout back then, and just about on par with Danny's Spyder in the tune he had it in last summer which, for anyone who's been in Danny's Spyder, is certainly not slow.
Anyway, two years have gone by and the turbo Speedster is very well sorted out now. Boost comes on quicker and harder, and the car just feels much more balanced. It's noticeably faster than it was two years ago.
But, that doesn't really do it justice. There's no doubt in my mind that even babying it out of the hole, it has a solid 12-second 1/4 mile pass in it.
Plain and simple, that car hauls ass, and gives me a goal for the power we need out of the red car. ;-)

Uh-oh.........
I see lots of pan stiffeners in my future..... ;>)

Just add some Viagra. That'll stiffen it up.
I just noticed the look on Teresa's face as Lane pours the Oban.
Uh ... I hope it was something funny ...
You guys who keep posting these pictures -- THANKS! I can't tell you enough times how dry it is over here. I still haven't seen an air-cooled VW. Somebody explained to me a week or so ago that this was a French colonial interest, and that I'd be more likely to see an old Citroen 2CV than a Bug.
Speedsters are right out of the question on this part of the continent, and I don't know that I'll make it to South Africa to see Greg's amazing construct.
Keep those electronic imports coming!

It appears you had a good time with our buddies on the east coast. I guess you're our official left coast rep. Anyway, who was the lucky winner of the badge?

There were actually three Outlaw Racing badges and an '06 Carlisle Badge up for grabs. I think Angela and Crazy Pete scored an Outlaw Badge but the remainder escapes me.

I only saw 2 outlaw badges, I scored the second one but traded it to Angela for some ADAC dash badges. My Grill was getting filled with badges already.

Maybe someone was foolin' around. A lot of people wanted one.

Warren - your 'Outlaw' badge was a sought after item at the raffle. I think Michael McKelvey (Michigan) got it!
I got it but passed it on to Crazy Pete because of his worthy mounting grille.
And it looks great my car thanks Mike. If anyone is posting pics of Carlisle at other sites please let us know .

Great pics Chris ..thanks ! ~Alan
awesome pics
Hi, Wonderful pics. Matt and I enjoyed this years get together. Great to strike up conversations and have some fun. Danny's spyder popped my eyeballs out. Thanks for the ride. Lets cruise somewhere soon!
Danny's car has a way of doing that, Howard. Took me a couple of days to find my eyeballs after driving the Spyder last year.
Ahhhhh ...
Thanks, Chris!
Thanks, Chris!
No problem, Cory. I'll put the rest of 'em together as soon as I have them in my possession, and you'll have post on the way.
One thing I forgot to mention - the first 20 or so in that album are Hotfoot Norma's, so thanks go to her, too! :)
