Carlisle '09 Hotel information

Got my reservation in today for Friday and Saturday night. Being a hillbilly from West Virginia,I was over joyed to hear they have indoor plumbing and electric. I was trying to put a hitch on my speedy and bring the family goat but she dont do good on long trips.

Dis year weez gunna ask yuz ta bring opossum fir da main viddles!
Yuz gunna brind der banjo and play sum muusic fir dat west coast boy Vince ?

Come On Vince, We're all waiting for you.....heh-heh-heh....

Yea, I can't wait to see what is really under Hoss's 10 Gallon hat, I still think it's all head....

You had your chance at Knotts in 2005 Vince and ya blew it. No do overs among us cowboys in spite of what Billy Crystal may think.

There's not gonna be no squealing now is there? I don'ts likes no loud noises!

Vince, Geez, my bad, I thought it was closer. Sometimes the difference in airfare makes it worth it though. Much easier to get to the show from HIA anyway. Good deal.
Teri wet her pants?..BWAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!
You might want to keep these handy.
This is gonna be a FUN one.
OK GERD, YOU'RE UP!
~WB

Alan,

Opossom agin this year. Damn! when are we goin' to get some good squirrel for the weekend!

We all should eat more 'possum. I'll have an order of escargot on the side. After all, I still have some city slicker in my country soul.

Bill, you're right, Gerd should come too. It IS after tax season, isn't it?

Alright,
The menu should be as follows:
Appertiff: Cock County, TN Clear
Roast Possum accompanyied with Sweet Tater Casorole and Hoe-made biscuits with Coon drippings gravy. Desert, of course blackberry cobbler.
Digestive: Again Cock County, TN Clear

I was thinking about bringing a bottle of this Springbank....BUT! It might not go well with dinner!

Alan and I have just finalized the main menu.
Salad....Appetizer...and main course.
Cigarettes are optional after dinner
The Ho maid sounds good too! :)

~WB

Sheesh! A grand for a bottle of booze! I'd surely expect to see colors!
Now here's some good stuff!
~WB

.......I thing you've nailed it !

That's OK, Aaron......Lane's bring some Oban. West coast, not midlands, but good stuff nonetheless.......

I'll bring some Cock County Clear that I know is at least 8 years young!

Note that there are only 2 bottles of the Springbank available.

Oban? Is that a Hieland Malt, Lowland or Island Malt? Must be near the one that's sold here called "Old MacGregor". I'll see if I can find y'll some at less than $7.00/bottle! No sense wasting good Hieland Malt on the likes of us'ins!

Think that I'll wear me kilt!

We'll expect you to wear your kilt at the Saturday night dinner!

The bottle says ""Product of a delicate SINGLE MALT - WEST Highland MALT SCOTCH WHISKEY" (capitals theirs)

Aye, Lad!

Of course, Alan, I'll wear me kilt, It's not only for the dinner; but you'll have to promise to keep the Lassies away!

Oban is a wee delicate Scottish Whisky...??? I dona think so! Hieland Malt is never delicate with the wondrous flavor of a cold, clear brown Hieland Loch (Gleann and Bhearraidh Lochs) that's wonder o'r the peat laden moors.

After searching for a restaurant that can handle 70 plus hungry individuals, we've reserved a private dining room at the Sunnyside restaurant for our Carlisle Saturday evening dining.
Check out: http://www.sunnysiderestaurant.com/
As some of you know they were slow to seat us as Citron Car Club had the same room at an earlier time as they were slow to wrap up their banquet.
We are the first group in this year and have been assured of being seated in a time mannerat 6:30pm. We'll be ordering off the extensive menu with individual checks.

On Friday evening, we'll return to the Carlisle All Star Cafe also at 6:30pm as we have in past years. This Cafe has good service, great food and grog.

As the date nears, Gordon will compile a reservation list for both venues.....Bon Appetite! ~Alan

Alan, that sounds great. Excellent work, as usual. Is anyone interested in a stein for a Carlisle souvenir?

http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/product.aspx?clear=true&no=11

Website says $14, but I don't know if that includes shipping, probably not, but still less than a twenty!

I could be convinced, Danny.

Sounds good, Alan!

Yeah, Lane needs a good Stein:

!#$%^!!*&^%!!!!!

Somehow I knew that was coming :-P

Maybe we could get Mike C to do some artwork for a logo. Mike, you coming to Carlisle this year?

Then, there's Lane in his "Formative Years":

http://www.theta.net/nichols/speedster/carlisle07/target151.html

And our "Runner Ups" in the "James Dean look-alike contest":

http://www.theta.net/nichols/speedster/carlisle07/target154.html

But.....if you want to see what Carlisle will be all about THIS year, take a look here:

Because we'll all be cruising to our Friday destination, here:

Followed by a terrific lunch in Mt. Gretna, and then the cruise back to the show field to register:

AND THAT'S JUST FRIDAY!!!

It's too early for me to get this psyched up. Calm down, Lane, calm down.

OMG!! I turned into my Dad!

Yeah.....don't forget the Spring Dragon Run.

You coming to the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona?

Got space on the floor of the Motel with Chris and me......

15 minutes from the track, 15 minutes from the beach.

gn

Not gonna be able to make it. Sometime the week before or the week after I will be in San Diego - just not sure when yet. Tell Chris to take plenty of pics. Is he gonna be in this area long enough for us to get together?

What will I do when the Waffle Houses dissapear??????AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH

Calm down, Leon. I WILL MOST DEFINITELY make Carlisle. It's the Rolex 24 that I can't make.

Or are you "AAARRRGGGHHHing" about something else? I don't get the Waffle House reference.

Leon:

Granted, you can only get just so far to the North before the Waffle Houses begin to thin out (like Virginia). If you have a Tom Tom GPS you can download a file that will show all of the Waffle Houses (and another one for IHOP's) right on your GPS and even find the closest one to you.

Of course, if you go far enough North, it's all over for Waffle Houses and you'll have to resort to Dunkin Donuts or Friendly's or something.....

Definitely avoid any Starbucks......unless you have a very loaded debit card!!

Hey! Can you make it to Daytona on the 24'th for the Rolex?? Don't know if I can take Pearl down (might not be able to park her near the paddock) but Chris and I will both be there.....

gn

Lane.....The Waffle House refference was to the "award" I received at Carlisle showing me (cartoon) standing in front of the Spyder with a map asking that question......

Gordon....I wish I could join you and Chris, but I have scheduled other things, (not as much fun), at that time.....Thanks for the thought......

Gord, we run out of Waffle Houses north of PA, none in NY that I know of, but at least we have a Cracker Barrel in Fishkill NY! The kicker is, you have to ASK for grits up here.

Starbucks = expensive crap!

Danny, we are planted thick with Waffle Houses down here as I'm sure you know. The closest one to me is in Lenoir City but Sarah and I found it to be a turnoff. It was full of good ole boys (and gals) and thick with smoke, kind of like parts of Kentucky and Virginia where I think the no smoking section is outdoors. Yuck! The food was OK, but give me Cracker Barrel any day, any mealtime.

I pass by one every day.

~WB

Yup. there's one about two miles from my house.

We have a Waffle House 5 miles from us....they have cut back in their portion sizes and the Belgiun waffle looks like a medium size pancake :(

On positive note, my neighor and I went to Fall Carlisle Show where the the Carlisle Marching Band still produces the king of egg samiches! :) ~Alan
