Carlisle 2010

[Tilar]

I know the economy will probably have some impact on events like this, but who all is planning on going? I just made my room reservations and they still have a few rooms at the Quality Inn. I got a room with two double beds (I think it's all they have left) and all I could get was a smoking room but that really doesn't matter to me.

The dates are July 9-11. The Retro Dealership is for the 1970 model year. Last year was my first year to go and I had a great time.

Here are a few pics from the hotel parking lot last year. The whole thread has good pics.  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,59202.msg660700.html#msg660700

[BrianShaughnessy]

Yeah...   got a reservation at the Quality this year.

Bringing George68HEMIRR along for the ride.... or is that the other way around   

[Cooter]

Been going for the past 13 years...The Christine Car Club will be there, along with Mr. Stu Charno (Don Vandenburg from the movie)...

Come by and say high...You can see the remote start in person if you like....

[moparmoynihan]

I'll be there with the rest of the crazy Mopar boys. Right by building T and the guy with the signs for sale. We'll be the loud ones from NY I really can't wait.

[71charger_fan]

Barring a miracle, I'm stuck in Iraq until August. Maybe 2011.

[69bronzeT5]

I'd like to go for sure but I don't know yet. It's seeming slightly bleak right now. We'll see though.

[Cooter]

First, lemme thank the person above for his/her (whichever), service....

Here's some of the pic's from last year...We hadda blast!

[71ChallengeHer]

I wouldn't miss it.  It will be the 20th year for the Chrysler show this year. And I've been to all of them. 

[NHCharger]

Have missed the last two years because of my work load. Just booked my motel for this year. Amazing how they more than double the rates for that weekend.

[THE COLONEL]

Well, I had to miss last year because my grille took too long to get restored, but I am all set to go this year.  My showfield registration is done, and I am staying at the Sleep Inn.  I was fortuate to get two double beds and a non-smoking room, but like some of the other places, that is all that was left!

[TUFCAT]

I have a room booked at the Quality Inn also!

[71ChallengeHer]

Yeah, Tufcat is gonna be at Carlisle.    You know where the beer will be 

[THE STIG]

I'm not gping tp rule anything out but I'm pretty sure I won't be ablr to make it.

[Khyron]

I'm planning on it, but not too sure. Finally made it into registration for the Adirondack Nationals so I may blow my load there I spent too much at Carlisle last year

[moparmoynihan]

Khyron is that the big car show at Lake George? If so I went last year, it was awesome!! It really reminded my of the Mopar Nationals a few years back when it was crazy there, with all the burn outs in the hotels and on the streets. You can bet I'll be there this year as well

You bought a set of Eddy heads... and a bunch of other stuff     The dam thing runs now      Go figure.   

All you need to do is figure if you're driving or trailering it! 

There's nothing to spend $ on at Lake George after you get in the gate.

[Bob]

As usual, see ya there.

If I did anything it would be drive, i will never.....NEVER put this on the back of a trailer again. I almost lost the car

In your trunk, then in my hand!

[bordin34]

I'll definitely be going. I'll more than likely be hanging under Jackie's tent.  I'll probably start my trek down there on Wednesday with the Charger so I can definitely make it there by Friday in case it breaks down. If the Charger makes it there I'm going to try to enter it in the drags.

[kokxville]

I'll be there with my dad and my 66 belvedere 
We are staying in the Super 8 south.

Dan, I hope Paul comes with the Fury Vert. So we can all ride out with him to the Drags. 

[bordin34]

That would be nice. I'll be able to take three people if he doesn't. This year I'll remember my own chair and water.

I got the water covered. Don't worry about.  And you broke my fav chair.

[AKcharger]

We'll be there, but will have to split our time between the DC.com tent and the 1970 Charger guys, they're having a "thing" this year since it's year of the '70s.

I was hoping between the two groups we might be able to organize a cruise to the Cumberland drive in on Friday or Saturday evening. I wrote to the owners to see if they'll have a MOPAR themed movie. Susan and I went there in '08 and it was an absolutely PERFECT evening. They reserved the two front rows for classic cars but there surprisingly were few there...I was hoping we could make it an All charger event. I'll have more about it as we get closer and hope to get some intrest

Count me in for that one!!!!  That would be soo cool!!

[AKcharger]

YES! we have two cars so far!!. I'll get more info from the theater, plan will be to meet at that strip mall parking lot by Walmart say around 6 pm, hang out for a bit then all leave in a "convoy" at 6:30...it's about a 20 min ride down a nice country road

[Khyron]

If im there, I'll be there too :-)

Im planning on having the Charger with me, i think I finally scored a 3.23 geared 3rd member... no more long drives at 50mph on the highway ehhehe

[Troy]

I'll be there somewhere. I have no idea if I will have a car though.

A word of advice on this topic... I don't think I'll be able to secure a block of rooms like has happened in the past.  With previous shows, I dealt with a gentleman who was very accommodating.  Right before last year's show they changed ownership/management and the guy I worked with got canned.  When I talked with the new guys after last year's show, they pretty much blew me off and had little (if any) interest in either a block of rooms or any type of discount.  I've sent them a few emails over the fall and winter, but they have not replied to a single one.

The QI-Carlisle is still a great location and facility, but for those who plan to stay there it might be a good idea to book your rooms soon.  

Personally, I'll probably reserve a room but may not be able to attend.  

[Khyron]

well, after finding out Brian was paying less across the street then I was with the Discount at QI. I would say QI can go F themselfs

[4cruzin]

So far I'm in.    Look forward to the show but not the 9 hour drive.      

[TeeWJay426]

I haven't missed one yet, and I'm not about to start with 2010!!    Just a question as to what I'll be bringing this year.

[Khyron]

[autodynamics]

im gonna be there hopefully this year i will get to meet some of you guys...i think i might have a spot in the keisler booth...

[jeryst]

Which members are going to be vendors? If I go, I will visit all of them first before looking anywhere else.

[TUFCAT]

bump...only two days before the show! 

[Old Moparz]

I'm leaving Thursday night after work & will be there until Sunday afternoon.   

[bakerhillpins]

I'm leaving Thursday night after work & will be there until Sunday afternoon.   

Same here. Well, leaving at 4am Friday morning.  Ill have at least one son with me. (the other is still making up his mind?!    ).

Its the first time for all of us. Should be fun. My mom might even drive over for a day! 

Looking forward to meeting everyone. 

[Tilar]

My intention was to leave Thursday after work. I work 4 hours a day from 5:30 AM to 9:30 AM and planned on being there by 5 or so, but decided to wait till early friday morning so I should be there shortly after noon on Friday. Leaving out Sunday. Mom is coming along. It amazes me how much she still likes car shows at almost 78 years old.  I guess I get it honest.

[Troy]

Leaving tomorrow (Thursday) morning and I'll be there until some time Sunday afternoon.

[69 OUR/TEA]

Will be heading out to thurs morn,be there by 1-2 o'clock.

[BrianShaughnessy]

  I had Q.I.  reservations for Thur>Sat.     George68hemiRR and I are coming in.

  Speedo bailed out this year ( no nappytime under the big tent  ) .   George's tow vehicle (ferd) is at the dealer and his Beast is getting a fan shroud made at a local shop.   No updates on status so far today.

  So I called off Thursday.    Drive in Friday a.m.,   probably Jeepin cause I don't really feel like fighting the weather and BS this year.   This HHH crud makes simple maintenance items a flipping PITA.

  I spent the morning washin and waxin Black Betty to go to the local car show on Sunday.    I'm kinda fried.

[NHCharger]

I'm heading out at 5:45 Thursday morning, going to hook up with Tom (TeeWjay426) and his buddies somewhere in Mass. We should be rolling in mid to late afternoon. I'm staying til noon Sunday.

[resq302]

Heading on out from NJ about 9 AM on Thurs to get the Chally vert into the Retro Dealership Display hopefully early.  Then tool around in my charger for the remainder of the weekend prior to me leaving sometime Sat night after the show and my parents hanging around till Sun when they can get the chally out of the display.  Wife's b-day is on Sun so I want to be home for that.

[bill440rt]

I'll be there, too!!

Looking forward to seeing all of the members on here I know, and meeting those I haven't yet.
My '70 Charger will also be on display in the retro dealer this year. Stop by & say hello!!

[71ChallengeHer]

I'll be there . Not sure if the Challenger will be there . I think a leaf spring cracked. Gotta jack it up tomorrow nite and check. If not I'll be driving a 89 Red Lebaron Turbo 2 . 

[TUFCAT]

I'm leaving Thursday morning from metro Detroit. Should be at the Hampton Inn around 4-ish.   Leaving on Sunday morning.

[bordin34]

I'm leaving Friday morning.

[jeryst]

I now have space E119, but will only be there Friday. A friend of mine may take the space for Saturday.

I'm going to try and hit the tents some time Friday, but any members are welcome to come by E119 and chat
if I am there. I'm the one with the shaved head.

[moparmoynihan]

I'll be leaving in about an hour. Me and my boys have a spot near building T. On the bleacher side. I would love to have some visitors. We'll be the loud guys from NY drinking beer. Johnny 

[THE COLONEL]

My wife and I will be leaving in about 7 hours from now.  I should be there between 7-8am.  We will be staying until Sunday just after lunch time.

[ODZKing]

Just checked into the hotel. WOW! What a hot ride down today.  Charger ran a bit hotter than is the norm but it was 98 and 102 degrees today when we passed a temperature sign.  Did I mention it was HOT!
We'll be there bright and early tomorrow morning. I usually have a sign on the window of the 3 forums I frequent.  Stop by, say hi.
