3:28
Events, and he's back to preview this
3:30
year's Corvettes at Carile. Buddy,
3:33
welcome back to Corvette today.
3:34
Hey, I'm excited to be on. Well, I'm
3:36
glad you're here. First,
3:38
congratulations, Lance, on your 50th
3:40
anniversary of Carile Events, and
3:43
everybody knows that Corvettes at Carile
3:45
is the world's largest Corvette weekend,
3:47
too.
3:48
Oh, it's a big big event, and we're
3:50
super excited about it. Obviously,
3:52
always ends up being the end of August,
3:54
so it's usually warm, but it's always a
3:56
great weekend.
3:57
It's a mustattend event if you're a
3:59
Corvette enthusiast. That's for sure.
4:01
Buddy, I saw that you have something new
4:03
this year called the historical timeline
4:06
wall. Talk more about that and where
4:07
that's going to be located on the
4:09
grounds.
4:10
Sure. That's located in building T,
4:11
which is where Chip's Choice is located
4:13
as well. I'll tell you what, our staff
4:15
did a phenomenal job. I'm going to
4:17
embarrass Rebecca and Andrew with our
4:19
team because they put a lot of hard work
4:21
and effort into it. It's very
4:23
professionally done. In fact, I stood
4:25
down there alone when I first saw it and
4:28
literally went through the whole thing
4:29
myself and I had tears in my eyes. It
4:31
did such an incredible job. It did a
4:33
great job of just walking through the 50
4:36
years of Carli events and it was great
4:38
to see it all just right there in front
4:41
of your face. It's pretty neat. I
4:42
encourage everybody that comes to any of
4:44
our events this year, be sure to go into
4:46
building T and check it out. It's
4:47
incredible.
4:48
Boy, I can't wait to see that thing.
4:50
That's got to be absolutely fantastic.
4:52
And also Corvettes Carlyle has a great
4:54
vendor area too. Let's do a little name
4:57
dropping and talk about some of the
4:58
people that are going to be exhibiting
5:00
this year.
5:00
Oh boy, I could name drop all day, you
5:02
know, and and I'll go through some of
5:04
the ones that I personally use. You
5:05
know, Adam's polish being right there at
5:07
the top of the list. I enjoy cleaning my
5:09
car. That's my relaxation. I'm sure it
5:11
is for you, too.
5:12
Oh, yeah.
5:13
And many of your listeners always just
5:15
great product. I always do a shout out
5:17
to them. Another one that I use often is
5:19
American. Well, I shouldn't say I use it
5:21
often. That's not a way to say that.
5:23
American Collector's Insurance just
5:25
because of the fact I really hope I
5:27
don't have to use it,
5:29
but ultimately you need it, you know.
5:31
So, they always do a great job. I always
5:33
shout out to them because of the fact if
5:35
you do need it, they're there, but they
5:37
make it so easy for you, and I love
5:39
that. Another one that I just used,
5:41
which you may have done as well, is
5:43
Spring Mountain. I love that place. Ron
5:46
Fellow's Corvette Driving School. It's
5:48
just great. That one's a lot of fun.
5:50
Have you done that ever?
5:52
I've done that two times and I'm loving
5:53
it.
5:54
Yeah, I've done it a few times as well.
5:56
It's just so much fun. You really need
5:58
to experience it more so than me or you
6:01
talking about it as you well know. You
6:03
need to go and enjoy it and really see
6:04
what these cars are capable of. Of
6:06
course, if you want to bring your car to
6:08
the show, you got trailers. We have
6:10
installs that are going on. If you have
6:12
an exhaust, wheels, Callaway Cars,
6:14
Lingfelder is incredible. I could go on
6:16
and on. I don't want to bore you.
6:18
There's a lot. And it's a great place if
6:20
you're looking for something for your
6:21
Corvette. And it doesn't matter what
6:23
generation either. You can find it at
6:25
Corvettes at Carile.
6:26
You could build a Corvette, right?
6:28
Absolutely. You could build a Corvette.
6:31
Yeah, you really could.
6:32
This is something I love doing. I love
6:34
wandering through the Carile car corral
6:36
because you've got Corvettes for sale
6:38
there, too.
6:39
We do. And that's really nice for people
6:41
that may not even be in the market for
6:43
one. You may very well stumble across
6:45
some vehicle that you may fall in love
6:47
with during the show. It's always fun to
6:49
go through and see what's for sale. So,
6:51
we do have a car corral as well. It's
6:53
all just Corvette. Be sure to check that
6:55
out if you're in the market.
6:56
If you're looking to expand on your
6:58
Corvette inventory, make sure you bring
7:00
your checkbook. That's for sure. Also,
7:02
Lance, let's talk about the People's
7:04
Choice and the best of show because
7:06
that's coming again this year. And this
7:07
year, it's sponsored by Aerolari Wheels.
7:10
Yeah, they have incredible wheels. A big
7:12
shout out to them. They've been
7:13
supporting us as far back as I can
7:15
remember them actually being a company.
7:17
Great people and I love the fact that
7:19
he's really got like a cult following.
7:21
You know, many guys come in with his
7:23
wheels, park and have fun. It's a lot of
7:26
camaraderie and you see some amazing
7:28
vehicles. I don't know if you recall, I
7:30
think it was last year there was the
7:31
Trans Am Corvette which was just cool.
7:34
You know, people's imaginations and the
7:36
wheels were absolutely stunning on it.
7:38
Yeah, that was a really cool car. And
7:39
Chad Bay does a great job there at
7:41
Aeroli. That's for sure.
7:42
Oh, Chad's a great guy.
7:44
Also, tell me more about the sweep
7:45
stakes. This is pretty cool. I saw this.
7:47
It's a 59 Restood Corvette, isn't it?
7:50
Yeah, that was a vehicle. I actually
7:52
took it on trade a while back and my
7:54
daughter fell in love with this
7:56
particular 1959 Corvette Restood. Mainly
7:58
due to the color. It's like bright
8:00
orange. You either love it or you don't
8:02
like it. So, there's no in between with
8:05
this car. But, I love it and so did she.
8:07
So, I said, "You know what? We'll keep
8:09
it." And then I thought about it. But
8:10
I'm like, ah, let's try something new
8:12
cuz we kept doing a new Z06 for the
8:14
sweep stakes. This year we decided to
8:16
try the resto mod and see how it goes.
8:18
We're excited about that. All funds that
8:20
are raised go to the Chipm Aloidosis
8:22
Foundation and obviously it goes to a
8:24
great cause near and dear to my heart. I
8:26
always encourage people to buy some
8:27
tickets and hopefully you'll be driving
8:29
this 59 restood to Corvettes of Carlile
8:32
future years.
8:32
There you go. Go to corvette.com
8:35

8:37
let's take our first break. When we come
8:38

8:39
what's going on this year at Corvettes
8:41

8:44
know that wheels make the car.

11:58
I'm your host Steve Garrett. With me is
12:00
my buddy Lance Miller. We are previewing
12:02
this year's Corvettes at Carile. Lance,
12:05
let's talk more about the Corvette
12:06
Challenge car reunion because these are
12:09
cars from 88 and ' 89. This will be a
12:11
really cool display, won't it?
12:13
It really will. It's a fun group of
12:15
people, but more than that, the cars are
12:17
so neat. Obviously, they're factory
12:19
Corvette race cars. There really aren't
12:21
many of them out there in the world. So,
12:23
I'm super excited to host the Corvette
12:25
Challenge cars. They are 8889, as you
12:28
said. I'm also working very hard to get
12:30
a lot of the drivers to come and talk
12:32
about some of the races that they did. A
12:34
lot of these drivers were big names back
12:36
in the day because it was a big carrot.
12:38
When I say that, they had the
12:39
opportunity to win a million-dollar
12:41
purse throughout the year. So that was
12:43
massive for a race series. I'm fond of
12:45
them. Selfish side, I own a few. So it's
12:47
one of those things. I love them. I love
12:49
pushing it out there. You know, I try
12:50
and do it every 5 years. So this is the
12:52
fifth year and it was time to do it.
12:54
Absolutely right. And this year's
12:56
feature year for Corvette is 1974, isn't
12:59
it?
12:59
It is. It's funny. A lot of people don't
13:01
like the mid70s cars, but you know what?
13:04
The people that own them love them, and
13:05
I respect that. So we try and continue
13:08
that theme. There wasn't a ton of
13:10
horsepower back then. You know, I think
13:11
the highest horsepower back then was 270
13:14
horse for the 454 if I'm not mistaken.
13:16
So, you think about that in today's
13:18
terms. You know, you've got cars that
13:19
are over 700. Well, heck, you have cars
13:21
that are over 1,000 horsepower now
13:23
coming out of the factory. 270 just
13:25
doesn't sound like much, but they're
13:27
great cars, you know. So, we're excited
13:28
to host them for their 50th anniversary.
13:31
That's cool. And seminars. You've got
13:32
lots of seminars. Let's talk about some
13:34
of the presentations that'll be done
13:36
this year.
13:37
I always love the seminars. I think it's
13:39
so good to go to any type of event and
13:41
become educated and getting an education
13:44
from those that certainly know the
13:45
stories and the background of whatever
13:47
it might be. For instance, your seminar.
13:50
We always love having people like
13:51
yourself that can just convey something
13:53
good about the Corvette hobby and really
13:55
you might light a fire under somebody
13:57
and possibly sell them a Corvette and
13:59
you don't even know it. It's a lot of
14:01
fun. I'm a big advocate of seminars just
14:03
because of the educational background of
14:05
it and of course the stories. you know,
14:07
we plan on doing something for the
14:08
challenge series as well that we just
14:10
talked about. Doing more of like a
14:12
roundt with the drivers, team owners,
14:14
and some of the principles of the
14:16
series. So, we're really excited about
14:18
that, too.
14:18
I'm looking forward to doing my two
14:20
seminars. I'll be on Friday afternoon
14:22
and Saturday afternoon at Corvettes at
14:24
Carile. So, make sure you come by and
14:26
say hello. Also, something that is a
14:28
must attend for me on Friday night is
14:30
the Chip Miller Amaloy Dossis Foundation
14:32
dinner.
14:33
You did a really good job at saying
14:34
amaloid doses. I'm impressed. Thanks
14:36
buddy.
14:37
It's a tough one to say. I wish I didn't
14:39
know that word, but I do. It was my
14:41
father, unfortunately, that passed away
14:42
from it. So, what we do is try and raise
14:44
funds and awareness in a positive
14:46
manner, you know, rather than be upset
14:48
and down about it, let's celebrate his
14:51
life. And that's what we do. We have a
14:53
dinner that is just awesome. It's so
14:55
much fun. It's a bunch of people there.
14:57
You have the opportunity to bid on a few
14:59
cool items that certainly you'll never
15:01
get anywhere in the world for that
15:02
matter that are signed by people at GM
15:05
and the Corvette team. There's lots of
15:07
opportunity to own really neat product.
15:09
I call them wall hangers for your house
15:11
and what have you or your garage at the
15:13
same time. Just the camaraderie is a lot
15:15
of fun. It's just a good time. We always
15:17
try and have people just come and
15:19
present. We try and keep it fun and
15:20
energetic. So come on out on Friday
15:22
evening and join us.
15:24
It's really great. The meal is fantastic
15:26
and the auction items are not only fun,
15:28
but it's great to see some of these
15:30
things. Like Lance said, some of them
15:32
were signed by the Corvette team and
15:33
people at GM. It is a fun fun evening
15:36
and we're raising money for a wonderful
15:38
cause. And Saturday night, buddy,
15:40
Saturday night is awesome. The whole
15:42
town of Carile shuts down downtown for
15:45
the Corvette parade and the display of
15:47
all the cars.
15:48
Oh, I love the parade. It's one of those
15:50
things you need to experience it to
15:53
believe it because the entire downtown
15:55
of Carlile, Pennsylvania shuts down and
15:57
what do you do? You park Corvettes and
15:59
congest the whole area and you have
16:01
parades going on. You have basically
16:03
it's almost like a concert. You know,
16:04
you've got a couple different bands
16:06
playing throughout. It's just fun. It's
16:08
a good time. You can go downtown, eat,
16:10
you can have a few drinks and
16:12
everybody's there smiling. I love it.
16:13
Yeah, it's a lot of fun because like you
16:15
said, there are food trucks there.
16:16
There's a band that's playing and then
16:18
you can just walk the downtown streets
16:20
of Carlilele and see all the Corvettes.
16:22
It's a fantastic night and a great way
16:25
to kind of wrap up the weekend. That's
16:27
for sure. Well, buddy, let's take our
16:29
final break. When we come back, we're
16:30
going to talk more about what's going on
16:32
and we'll give you ideas on how to
16:33
register and the dates of the show

Hey honey, are you awake?
16:55
M I am now.
16:56
I can't sleep. Since turning 50, I keep
16:59
dreaming of a red door and a blue door.
17:00
Somehow knowing there are only choices
17:03
for retirement.
17:04
Okay.
17:05
Through the red door, we outlive our
17:06
money. We have to rely on our kids.
17:08
We're stuck on a fixed income. It's
17:10
terrifying.
17:11
Yeah, that would suck. But through the
17:13
blue door, our money outlives us. We
17:15
retire on our terms. Our kids stay our
17:18
kids, not our caretakers. We make work
17:20
optional.
17:21
Yes, that's much better. That's what I
17:23
want, too. But what do we do?
17:25
We call True Wealth and Company at

19:37
I'm your host, Steve Garrett. With me is
19:39
my buddy Lance Miller. We are talking
19:41
about this year's Corvettes at Carile.
19:43
In this third segment, we're going to
19:44
tell you how to register. We're going to
19:46
give you dates and a few other things
19:47
that are going on. First glance, our
19:49
buddies at Lingenfelter Performance
19:51
Engineering are sponsoring the 2024 King
19:54
of the X competition. Talk more about
19:56
that.
19:57
Absolutely. This provides you an
19:59
opportunity to get out and enjoy your
20:01
car the way it's meant to be driven on a
20:03
small autocross track that we host. It's
20:06
in the northern side of our fields. It's
20:08
always a lot of fun. You do need a
20:10
helmet for this and you do need to sign
20:12
up. It's just a lot of fun to have fun
20:15
in your vehicle and just bounce around
20:17
the fairgrounds there in the back side
20:18
of it. And you can win some cash for it,
20:20
too. And I love Lingfelder. They've been
20:22
a big supporter of just getting out and
20:24
enjoying your car and enhancing your
20:26
car. Certainly, they do a great job. Big
20:28
shout out to Linganfelder Performance.
20:30
Ken and all his people there at
20:31
Linganfelter Performance Engineering are
20:33
the best. That's for sure. And also new
20:36
for this year is the C4 Challenge.
20:38
What's that all about?
20:39
Yeah, the C4 challenge is going to be
20:41
neat. That's new this year. It's going
20:43
to be presented by Mild the Wild
20:44
Fabrication and Laser. So again, there's
20:47
going to be cash awards for that. Now,
20:49
you do need to have your C4 to go out
20:51
and play. So, obviously, it's going to
20:53
be running, I believe it's on Friday at
20:56
2:00 if I'm not mistaken. That will be
20:58
again right at our autocross on the
21:00
northern side of our facility. So, if
21:02
you don't have a C4, be sure to go up
21:04
and check it out. It's not only cash
21:06
prizes on this one and up to $500, but
21:09
there's also some neat trophies as well
21:12
and some product giveaways, too. So,
21:14
that'll be neat to watch.
21:16
That's cool. Also, one of the cool
21:17
things if you're in a Corvette club,
21:19
this is really neat because we want to
21:21
get Corvette clubs officially recognized
21:23
at Corvettes of Carile. You can win some
21:25
nice stuff, can't you?
21:26
Oh, you really can. And there's a huge
21:28
array of things that are out there. So,
21:30
we're thrilled with that. We're very
21:32
fortunate. You know, we try to bring
21:33
everybody together. As I continue to
21:35
mention, the camaraderie is what it's
21:37
all about. The people and certainly
21:39
miles throughout,
21:41
smiles for miles, that's for sure. Also,
21:43
the flea market is gargantuan. Now,
21:46
didn't Corvettes at Carile start kind of
21:47
at as a flea market?
21:49
It really did. You know, we take great
21:51
pride on bringing a lot of different
21:53
vendors. So, you do have a strong
21:54
variety. Through the years, yes, you've
21:56
seen some drop off just due to the fact
21:59
with online and what have you. So what
22:01
we do is really focus heavily on the
22:03
showfield which continues to grow. But I
22:05
always tell people be sure to go and
22:07
check out the vendors. Not only because
22:09
of the great product, but because of the
22:11
knowledge throughout. Those are some of
22:13
the most interesting people to speak
22:15
with as far as the background. They've
22:17
been in the hobby for just about ever.
22:19
And you can find any product that's
22:21
Corvette related in that vendor area. So
22:24
I always encourage people to go down and
22:26
enjoy themselves, shop, spread the
22:28
wealth, and have some fun. And also, if
22:30
you own a Carile blue Corvette, you
22:32
still get free admissions to Corvette at
22:34
Carile on the fun field.
22:36
Absolutely. It's funny. I said that
22:38
right after they unveiled the color
22:40
Carlile blue for our 30th anniversary.
22:42
Cash was there, Harlem was there, a few
22:44
other the GM team. I had said, you know,
22:46
hey, it's always going to be free for
22:48
anybody that owns the Carlile blue
22:50
Corvette, and we will always stand by
22:52
that.
22:52
That's really cool. Also, buddy, let's
22:54
talk about the dates of the show this
22:55
year and where they can get registered
22:57
and how they can get discount tickets,
22:59
military discounts, and so on and so
23:01
forth.
23:01
Absolutely. It's going to be held August
23:03
22nd through the 24th, and it's warm in
23:06
Pennsylvania, so bring your shorts and
23:08
your walk-in sneakers. It'll be a good
23:09
time.
23:10
Where can they register online as well?
23:12
caralvents.com.
23:13
So, again, carvents.com.
23:16
Also, I know that the Atlantic caravan
23:18
that's going to the anniversary at the
23:21
National Corvette Museum is going to be
23:23
leaving Sunday from the grounds there at
23:24
Corvettes at Carlilele. And they're
23:26
going to go on into Bowling Green,
23:27
aren't they? They are. It's going to be
23:29
fun. We plan a little sendoff. You're
23:31
going to probably be the first person
23:33
I've ever told this, but on Sunday,
23:35
we're going to do a Cars and Coffee for
23:37
the first time. That goes for any
23:39
vehicle, and we're going to do a proper
23:40
sendoff for them. So, it should be a lot
23:42
of fun. If you're around Sunday morning,
23:44
be sure to join us. come on out.
23:46
Obviously, Corvettes are certainly
23:47
welcome. If you're not going on the
23:49
Bowling Green fun trip, that's not a
23:51
problem. It's going to be a good time
23:53
sending them off. So, be sure to stop by
23:55
Sunday morning.
23:56
