I left Brooklyn just before noon Friday the 18th and arrived at Charlotte (Matthews) about 13 hours later where I spent the night before lunch at Tony's store, Ferrucci's finally leaving for Montgomery around 2:30 Saturday afternoon. I pulled into my driveway 1220 Sunday morning. My road trip totaled 10 days and 2667 miles and I could not have had a better time.
Except for those two Kunzler hot dogs at the back of the fairgrounds by the hill where people were getting rides in a late model Challenger
Tony was blown away by everyone. I had explained to him there's Carlisle. Then there's us at Carlisle.
He's still trying to wrap his mind around the concept of a Burnout Contest
, what to do with it if you win the 3G Hemi giveaway motor
, and my snapping iPhone pictures while doing 75 on the interstate
He's really the least likely candidate to be a car guy - I just smile when he talks about the "mean looking squared-off front of a 79 Grand Prix" - yet due to his living one exit from Mooresville, NC his GP is getting fresh paint, freshly redone sunroof, a new stereo, exhaust, and some other odds and ends at the Hotchkis Facility there. Scroll just past halfway down and there are a few pics of his car....
