One of the things that I've found so rewarding about working on the Corvettes at Carlisle videos is the pleasure of meeting so many great people that are involved with the Corvette hobby. I've tried to introduce many of them to you in my tapes and now hope to use this section of our website to tell you a little more of their stories or introduce to you some other Corvette-folks we've found interesting.
So it seems appropriate that for our first feature I tell you about some of the people, who without their help, there wouldn't be any videos or website.
Corvette Show

First off there's Carol and Vince Somma. We've been going to Carlisle shows, Hershey, Atlantic City and other car shows together for more years then I can remember. I have to say that going to these events is never as much fun without them. They are both certified car nuts. They own a black '66 big-block roadster, a '36 Ford, a Harley, a Benz, a Jeep, and a Durango. That was Vin's '72 coupe that the two of them are standing in front of in this picture, but he's since sold it. I happen to know for a fact that if the right 40th anniversary ruby red Vette came his way he would have a hard time saying no.

Now they both have day jobs, but have been helping me endlessly since we started making these videos. Carol makes sure that everyone we videotape signs a release. She also keeps track of all the video that we're shooting and monitors the weekend schedule so that we don't miss a thing. Vince is an all-around utility guy. Whatever needs help to get done he's usually on it before me. He started helping out on sound and now shoots a lot of our second camera video. He's also the guy who's been putting you in the passenger seat with his cool Parade-cam footage. Whenever I start going crazy from trying to do three things at once they remind me that car shows are suppose to be fun. Without their help I would not have been able to pull off a project of this magnitude, so I am forever in their debt.

When you stop by our booth you'll get a chance to meet this cute blonde. Susan takes care of managing our booth and handling sales at the show. She also helps out with keeping track of all our great customers' files and with the packaging and fulfillment of our videos.
Susan
She's been such a great asset to this project and my personal life that by the time you see her at the Corvette show she'll be my wife, Susan Del Monte. Now that she's been going to these shows she seems to have caught the bug and is willing to make room in the garage for a special red convertible. So if you know of any…
My sincere thanks to all the other people who help us out, like Andy Obeck, Mike Kirchener, the golden pipes of Mark Kaufman (who owns a couple of Vettes himself), Sam Beacom (stop by his truck at S & S Sales and get some great deals on tools) and Nicole Miller, whose great design work is seen here on our website. I'd also like to thank Chip Miller, Bill Miller, John Kutsch, Scott Berger, Lisa Leathery, Bob Hall, Diane Vaughn, and all the great people at Carlisle Productions for all their help and input. Thanks for all your help with these projects and for putting on such great shows.

And last but not least, I'd like to thank all of our customers. Thanks for taking your hard earned money and spending it on our videos. We can't keep doing this without you. So I hope you feel that it is a worthwhile investment and stay with us for the ride. A special thanks to all the great folks who wrote to us, or told us or e-mailed us with their compliments. Of course we love to hear about how much you enjoyed the videos, but let us know if you feel there is room for improvement also. What you think means a lot to us.
