Carlisle!

[Troy]

Since Carlisle is just a bit over three weeks away I figured maybe it was time for an official Carlisle thread. Here's what I know so far...

We will, once again, have a tent. The tent is 20'x20' so feel free to bring your chairs and/or coolers and stay for a while. You can bring a grill too - maybe we can have a hot dog grilling contest with Dave (4cruzin) over in the C-C.com tent. Once again, it doesn't appear that we'll have any idea where the tent will be located until we arrive at the show.

One curve ball thrown at us this year is that every tent must have some sort of banner. There will be a contest for the "most creative banner" with an award will be given out on Sunday. I'd suggest using a plasma cutter to carve out the logo on one of the fine trunk pans found here in the midwest but it would likely end up looking like 'O' and/or someone would end up needing a tetanus shot. Maybe we should just go with the construction paper and white glue approach...

In case anyone is interested in helping out... the tent costs (me) $160. We could also use some refreshments (water, soda, etc.) if you'd like to chip in.

I have no idea who is going so it would be helpful to post here so members know who to look for. We can set up a group meeting like we have in the past if people are interested. Some of the vendors (or just members in the swap meet) have asked if we could move this to later in the day since noon on Saturday is probably the busiest time of the entire weekend. Should we try a phone number list/exchange? The t-shirts should be here in time for the show so maybe it will be easier to recognize other members.

I think several of us are staying in the same hotel. Usually there is an informal gathering each night so if you miss us during the day then come hang out with us later on.

Speaking of hotels, now is the time to try to reserve a block of rooms for next year (2009). If we get a large enough block we can qualify for a discount so be sure to let me or hemigeno know if you're interested.

Sounds like a plan Troy...I agree the 12pm meeting at my car never really works out.......especially that this year Ill be waaaay over on the hill in the LX section

[TripleBlackGator]

I'll be there....along with my personality disorders.

[Charger-Bodie]

I will e there the entire time helping the guys at the Mega Parts tent. But I will be sneaking off once in a while to check out Chargers and to meet up with as many people as I can. 


Ps Id also make a donation,

[Chris G.]

Dang, they are charging for a tent this year? I thought we had an insider from the show getting us the "perks"? Oh well, you can count on me for a donation for the tent.

I say you just sign a few trunk lids for $20 a pop, and your whole trip will be paid for. 

[Troy]

Had to pay for the tent last year too... our "insider" made sure we got one in the middle of the 68-70 Charger section.

If we have 25 (pre?) registered cars in the show then the tent is free. Last year we had 9.

I like the Paypal account idea. I will pitch in for sure.

[472 R/T SE]

It's on my bucket list.  Some day.

With a paypal addy I'd throw some $$ at it and be there in spirit.   
I know Troy won't ask for any help, unlike our last administrator.  But we had a box for donations to help with the site at a couple of the DC.com meets in Kent.    I realize money is tight right now for lotsa folks, just a thought...

[Hemidoug]

I'll be there...count on it! I'll make a donation in person...wasn't it free if enough people identify the club\website when they register?

I used DC.com as my "club" when I registered.....last year & this year as well.

Only 9 last year Troy?

[keepat]

I hope to get there around 3:00 on Thursday. Last year they had a small car show between two hotel just off the turnpike, is that going on this year? I bring some water & soda!

Shelby and I both will be there all weekend. I'm bringing 4 lb container of peanuts, some party mix, various drinks from my beer reps and Doug's limes.    Troy, If you need a big banner, I can ask my beer rep to make us one. But it will have some kinda beer logo on it, too. But I can get one for free. 

[BrianShaughnessy]

   I'll be there Thursday thru Sat.    Speedo's getting a vendor spot again so I'll probably doing somthing similar as last year.   I got a res across the road again at the Ramada.

   Set up some paypal and I'll donate.

I ALWAYS put down DodgeCharger.com when I register. Only NINE last year??? 

[y3chargerrt]

I'm one that has forgotten to use dodgecharger.com when I register. I'm going to tell them when I pick up my registration at the gate. Maybe if enough of us do that we can get to 25.

Maybe the problem is that some people use DC.Com and some people use Dodgecharger.com and some people use Dodge Charger.com.......We all need to use the same spelling.......

[Troy]

I knew we had more than 9 but no matter how I figured it we didn't have 25. The nice lady in charge of groups offered to change the registrations for any cars that I listed but it would have been a lot of work for nothing. Not a big deal. I'd rather have a tent than not have a tent. For the record, officially we are DodgeCharger.com.

I'll be there too, but I'm staying closer to Harrisburg at an Econo Lodge that's almost walking distance from where the restaurant/pub is that we ate at last year, Nathan's Cafe. If I do bring a car, it'll be on a trailer with a for sale sign. I'll make sure it's registered to DodgeCharger.com no matter which one it is.

So who's up for dinner again at Nathan's on Friday & Saturday nights?   

Last year I went to Nathan's on Friday with the DC.com people, & to the Cuda Challenger dinner on Saturday at another place. The Cuda Challenger one is just too big of a gathering, & a bit too far of a drive back & forth.
