Had the car out for a cruise Sunday and it was 103 degrees with high humidity. Kinda Brutal. :eek2:

I took mine to work again yesterday, big mistake.  It was pushing 100 out there and having a black vinyl top did not help!  I need to fix my a/c before I do that again!

Take lots of water with you when you leave guys!

While I could probably have dealt with the heat, I am afraid my 69 will not and so I take the econobox again this year.   :'(  She got hot, really hot really quickly while in our towns 4th parade over the weekend.   :P

Still not as bad as my first year there 2yrs ago.. It was 105 on sat IIRC..  :eek2:

As much as I'd love to come, I'm not gonna make Carlisle this year. Just got way too many irons in the fire.  :'(

I just saw in another thread that your engine gets really really hot.  What gives?  Do you have one of those notorious waterpump housings or are the passages blocked?

Carlisle & heat go hand in hand, but let's pray for some cloud cover.

I'll take the heat over rain anyday. This will give me an excuse to hang around under the tent and consume adult beverages :cheers:

It rained like a sumbitch last year. Even flooded the lower section where some cars that were for sale were parked... if I remember correctly.

I think its something with the carb. After it heats up over 230 (indicated) it ends up idling at like 2.3k almost like the choke is stuck. Bliping the throttle doesn't change it. When I set the idle jets I had to dial them way out to get it to idle smooth and I didn't think that was cool but for the time being it was happy.

Rain or shine I think you guys will have fun, wish I could be there.

I'll be there with my daughter this year... We both hate the high heat and humidity, but we'll be there... wouldn't miss it!  :2thumbs:

When I was selling some parts at Englishtown's Raceway Park about 25 years ago, we had heat hovering in the mid 90's one year. I took a break from selling, wandered around the swap meet & saw a vendor scoop a handful of ice out of his cooler, fill his hat & put it on. I laughed & asked how well that worked & he said it was as good as air conditioning. When I got back to my vending space I did the same thing with my hat & put ice in it. I have to admit, it definitely worked & it felt good.   :lol:  :cheers:

If you don't have a hat you can always use bungee cords to strap the cooler to your head, but that usually makes the show car owners nervous when you lean over to look under the hood.   :o

Every time I check, it goes up a degree. It will easily hit 100 on Saturday :eek2: . It's pretty nice out right now. Who's in town and wants a beer?  :2thumbs

I'll be in town Thursday night & will take you up on that beer, but I'm buying.

What brand you prefer?   :cheers:

We leave tomorrow morning. Figure 8-10 hour drive in the Durango hauling the Charger on a trailer in 100+ heat.

Over-drive switched off.....check
Extra containers of rad fluid.....check
Car trailer.......check

Throwing caution to the wind and just going for it....Priceless

We'll see how the old faithful 2003 Durango does.  :pushup:

Bob, I have no idea how Thursday is going to play out. I wanted to do something at the house, but who wants to be outside in this heat? I'll catch up with you on Friday. I hope you find the house easily. Just give me a call if you get lost.

Don, car trailer...check...that's a good thing.  :2thumbs: You will have a great ride down. I wouldn't be hanging out in the "T" very long though...it's going to be boiling in there. Our club tent will be perfect for this year, glad we did it.

The garage Wednesday night still stands if you want it.  :2thumbs:

I'll take 100 degrees in Carlisle at a Mopar show over 0 degrees & snow anyday.  :cheers:

Wear something comfy & breathable, use sunscreen, and drink a lot.
Cooler & beverages...    CHECK!!!  :cheers:
