The beloved Chip Miller cooked up the idea for a Racers Reunion as a way for drivers to reunite, re-live their days and poke fun at one-another.
The Racers Reunion has become a fixture at Carlisle.

The first such gathering in 1998 hailed the great Dick Thompson, Dick Guldstrand, John Greenwood, Jerry Thompson, Doug Bergen, Marietta Bob Johnson, Frank Dominianni, Paul Reinhart, Joe Freitas and host of others.
2004 brought a huge turnout in honor of Chip after his tragic demise that year.
Chip’s son Lance picked up the ball and ran with it while adding to the Miller family collection of sought-after Corvette race cars.
Lance had a love for 1988 and 1989 Corvette Challenge cars which has become an annual gathering in and of itself.
Corvettes at Carlisle has become bigger over the years than the NCM bash in Bowling Green KY and Mike Yager’s Funfest in Effingham IL. GM even created a special color called Carlisle Blue for the 2012 Corvette.
This year promises to be special with Corvette racers from far and wide recruited by George Haddad of Fabulous Restorations in Florida.
Let us know how we might assist with your plans.
