Carlisle '08 - Calling all Spyders

Ok, guys, we Speedster owners are challenging y'all to have more than one (Danny Piperato) representative at Carlisle next May. Alan Merklin has reserved a block of rooms at the Ramada Limited Carlisle at a special rate of $119.95 per night for Friday and Saturday. Make a reservation ASAP before they're all gone. We'd love to see more Spyders. Leon Chupp, are you out there? I'm holding slot in the southeast caravan for you. C'mon, ya know ya wanna come. It's quite possibly the most fun car-centered weekend you can have.

Go to SpeedsterOwners and go into the Events forum. Look for "Carlisle 08 Hotel reservations".

Come on, do it. The Dragon's tail run was a hoot.....Carlisle should be much bigger....ergo, better.....See you there....

Vicki V. Is there any chance of your attending? We have a caravan forming up on the western Va. state line, and would welcome the company.....Come on in......

See you at Carlisle???

Leon C.

Man! That's one long drive! Thanks for the personal invitation. I'd love to join you guys. v

V., If you decide to come, you can join me on I-40 in E. TN. for the drive to VA and the overnight stop. At that point, we should have a bunch of us Speedster guys joining together for the run to PA. I know, I know, we're only SPEEDSTER folks, but the more the merrier. Leon, you'll be there in your Spyder too, right?

Vicki - Your drive on day one would actually be shorter than mine (from Charleston, SC), and I think you'd enjoy it. The next day would be shorter and even more fun because you'd be in a caravan of several Speedsters and one other Spyder (Leon Chupp). C'mon, I guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Well, Spydie sure is running really nicely lately. Can you tell me the route so I can look at it and see what's in store for me, please? I need to get my speedo fixed. And my passenger-side wiper blade is acting funny after it froze on the car one day. I have another question about the speedo I'll place on another thread. v v

The route couldn't be easier. Take I-40 E until you run into I-81 and then follow I-81 all the way to Carlisle. A group of us will be spending the night in Christiansburg, VA. on Wednesday and heading north to Carlisle Thursday A.M. We will probably divert and do a stretch on the Blue Ridge Parkway which is slow but scenic. Our arrival in Carlisle will probably be mid-afternoon Thursday, allowing enough time to get settled, greet many of the arrivals and then head off to the dinner location.

A good time will be had by all. Count on it.

ps. Depending on your timetable, we could meet at the Loudon exit off of I-40 and caravan from there. There may be another car or two as well at that location.

Oh, boy, does this sound fun! If I can get Dave to follow me just in case something works loose (on the car), that would help my decision to show up. There is a possibility that I'll have to have a cage installed around my lumbar spine around that time, but the surgeon said recovery time isn't all that long. I haven't told him what kind of car I drive every day, however. I've been keeping that a secret. :-)

Lost 2 discs in that region twenty years ago.....only a minor problem these days....Hang in there....

The trek to Carlisle (at least for me) starts three weeks from today!! C'mon Vicki (and others), we want a record Spyder turnout this year. That's anything over two.

Vicki, you could easily drive from Nashville on Wednesday and meet up with us in Christiansburg, VA for the night. By the time we reach Carlisle, our caravan will have around nine folks in it.

Less than two weeks to go......If you are coming, make reservations now or face loooongggg commutes.......
