Thanks Alan,

Thanks Alan

We're in.  Thanks Alan.

In like Flynn, back in November. 

Thanks for looking after this for the rest of us, Alan!

DONE!  Thanks, Alan!

We're in!!!

I think we'll go too ~

Me too

Good on ya, Alan!  Rezzies confirmed.

It'll be great to finally meet you, Jim.

we're in.

Joel and Barbara

Lane,

I'll be the guy in the Taveuni tuxedo: sandals, shorts, and a clean t-shirt. 

Some guy came with a pineapple hat a few years back so you'll fit right in in with these Knuckleheads !

I wonder if pineapplehead will show up this year??

"I wonder if pineapplehead will show up this year??"

I think we need tho start a shaming campaign to get him here.  It's been far too long.

With his fabulous new ride, he could/should drive.  Hope he comes.

I know Jim's got a big commitment he's living with.  I hope he comes too , but if he can't  that's the way it goes. He will be conspicuous in his absence. . I'll get out to the left coast to party with those knuckle heads one of these days .

Rejoining you east Coast knuckleheads is TOPS on my To Do List! Should our situation as primary care-givers for Ginny's 101 year old mom change, I shall regail your gatherings with my Pineapplehead hard-hat (courtesy of my brutha-from-anutha-mutha, Leon)! 

101 years old. Oh the things she has seen. She's known a world without Speedsters, Musbjim & egg sammiches. 

She's a fighter.

Res made

I can't get anywhere at the hotel.  They transfer me to an empty line that goes to the national res center.  Then get someone local, and all she can do is take my name and number, and someone who actually can do the deed will call me back next week. ???

They probably have caller ID, Kelly.

Lane, you're so cute . . .

Frazoo

The same experience here. The person who did that last year no longer works there and the person who replaced her has the long weekend off. I'm afraid to call again because of the caller ID.

Kelly, you must have pissed them off when we worked on your car under the entrance. Maybe I should be afraid to call too! And Cory, with the whole Hoopty/trailer loading incident. I hope that selfish beeyotch and her husband don't return! 

Yes there are rooms in the block available....Will post as soon as we have into the Hotel glitch first thing Monday AM...Regretfully there is a desk clerk that needs an intervention .

I'm in. Kelly get in touch with Erin.

Paul

Hotel glitch is resolved.........

And I have penetrated the armor, and so can report I have my confo number.  I told them to be on the alert for a guy named Piperato, and to be sure he gets a room on the top floor over on the east end.

If it rains, Danny won't need a room.

He'll be posted at the entrance portico to keep non-SOC'ers from getting in the way in the event a vehicle needs work or a trailer needs loading.

That went so well in 2015. ;-)

Roger that!!

Reserved

2016 Hotel Alert ~

As of this weekend half of our room block has been reserved.

The combining of shows into the Kit Replica Import Event Weekend, rooms will go fast at all area hotels...it would be in everyone's best interest to reserve their room today ! 

Been crazy busy and just got my reservation. I'm in for our 3rd Carlisle! Maddie is thrilled and can't wait to see everyone!

Ron you just made me realize that this will be #12 for me.  Holy CARP! 

I lost count, I have been going to Carlisle since the early 90's when I was a member of the NJ Replicar Club. Nor rain, straight line winds ( remember THAT Paul?) hail or frigid weather has stopped me ~

I've missed a few over the years, but I still enjoy every one I attend.  To me, it's the beginning of Summer, and it's always warmer in Carlisle than up where I live.  This year, we'll be heading to the Outer Banks for a week afterward, and that really extends the warm weather.

My first was 1991. And I've only missed a couple since. Then around 2000 I started up with the Chrysler weekend too.

Re: Straight line winds.... I forget the year. Had to be early '90's sometme. Carlisle used to have steel garbage cans...not the plastic ones they have around the show field today. The steel cans were blowing around like styrofoam cups. Tents down. Thankfully no damage to any NJRC cars. And I'm pretty sure no real damage around the field either.

Maybe it's me! I was in Yellowstone's Old Faithful Inn in 1988 when they had to close the park because of the massive forest fires. At 7:30 a.m., bell hops came around and said, and I quote, "No need to worry sir. But please be out of the hotel by 10:00." I was in the Bahamas for a hurricane. And was once playing golf at LaTourette on Staten Island while a tornado was reported within a mile or two of the course. Funny. Grounds crew came around and took in all the flags. But they never told us about the tornado reports, nor that we might consider ending our round!

Ha! See Al and my notes above.
Although the show used to be Mother's Day weekend. weather has actually been better since they pushed it a week or two later.
