Carlisle 2020 !

Joe,

How great is that! Looking forward to seeing you and your gorgeous Speedster.

Sweet!

I am going out to all the Sizzler's to lick the sneeze guards. I figure a 72 incubation period, 14 day quarantine and a 1 day drive......my window to create antibodies is narrowing.

If you really want to stir things up fake sneeze, fake sniffle, and fake cough in public. Maybe use it at the DMV to get to the head of the line without waiting. Mmmmm, the possibilities are endless with what you could do.

Joe !   Glad you can do the trip !

You put on latex gloves in a hospital, people cheer you. 

Put on latex gloves in a dark parking lot, they call the cops.

Glad you're going to be able to make it, Joe!

My doctor put on latex gloves behind me once and I didn't cheer him at all ....

Carlisle 2020  According to Carlisle Productions Our Import Show remains on their May 15, 16, 17 schedule !!!!!  

Unrelated to us ,they did move the Spring Carlisle show from mid April until the end of May This change DOES NOT effect us

I'm not pulling any fire alarms until, well, I see a fire. We are planning to go as of now. It's 8 weeks out. Hopefully soon this will all be a memory and we can quickly get back to normal.

Cheers.

I'm definitely going to need one or twenty-seven drinks by then. 

Has anybody received their stickers yet?  I registered early but haven't gotten mine.

We are still hoping to make it, but since Canada closed its border with you guys we will need it to re-open before then.   Only essential travel allowed, and I am not sure we could talk our way across.  I don’t think beer deliveries in a  speedster would work.

Most of us are self isolating these days.   Unfortunately, we got trapped at our son’s house with two rambunctious grand kids...

At least, we are all healthy.

Robert, we as the SOC could petition for you on official clown car stationary, that you are indeed essential to the mission of madness. You could then present it at the border.

Bob:  I read a couple of Tom Clancy novels whilst on our trip.  With a little coaching and the right guys, I believe we could do an extraction for you.  

Might need Bob Ford to act as a diversion.....   

Gordon

if you could actually extract Rob Ford, I would be satisfied with that...

LOL, He is as polarizing as Trump and all business people love him too.

FWIW, I got registered Gate-n-Go at Carlisle. Need to do same at hotel.  Sure hope this all gets to go as scheduled.

I hear we're going to watch Alan Merklin try to grab a greased pig Wednesday night. Then we're gonna have a square dance, called by Lane Anderson "Annoying Radio Guy". Maybe a card trick or three from Ed Ericcson. Jack and Maddie are going to do the dueling banjo routine.

Max is going to do a live reading of all three books, Cory/Jeni are going to disassemble then re-assemble their entire car. Chris is going to vape his face off. Karen will sip something good. Chuck will consume an entire bottle of whiskey and repeat himself. The Stroud's will discuss their latest touring/trailering adventures. Frazoo is going to shoot off rockets. Mossberg is gonna talk about the latest 718 Boxster automatic accessories. The Finch will share the latest on goat-raising in America. Hoss will most definitely wear his big hat. 

Lenny, Ron, Michelle and Carey will hang back quietly and possibly smoke cigars.

Stan and Al will give a rousing discussion on gear and compression ratios, and their effect on significant others and relationships. 

I will just "SHUT UP" LOL.

It'll be a real HOOT------------------

------------------------------------------

I probably COULD do the rocket thing.  Does that mean I have to get there Wed??

As a last resort, we may have to try that. 

That, along with a big smile, might be sufficient.

Stickers usually arrive within 30 days of the event

We are registered at the hotel, but I'll hold off on sending my money to the Carlisle people until things become much more clear.

I sense a great chasm in the viewpoints on how the U.S. should be proceeding, based on what I see from the U.S. network 'news'.  Like many, I am of two minds as to how we should proceed. 

If we say we should err on the side of caution, which side is that?

That's a lot of vaping. I am waiting for the study that shows vaping creates antibodies against COVID-19.

With the CV 19  still in limbo I'll suggest everyone wait until 7 days out to make a decision on Carlisle ..as mentioned yesterday according to Carlisle Productions we remain on the May schedule . In the interim,  go ahead and make your Courtyard Marriott  Hotel reservations .

Heck, I had all that done months ago.  Gotta give my liver time to get prepared for Carlisle.  🥴🍺

I'm currently pessimistic about this one, honestly, but all the same I'd advise everyone who can to send the Carlisle people the $30 show fee and then, if the show gets canceled, don't demand a refund.  

Carlisle Productions did reschedule the April Spring Carlisle to June, I specifically asked  them about our May show, there response was it will take place as scheduled in May. Do go ahead and make your Courtyard  Marriott Hotel reservations as there is a one week prior cut off date . Thanks !

Just received an email from Carlisle about rescheduling the event to August 14-16.  Alan, please let us know when we need to move our reservations at the hotel.

I just read the email from Carlisle Productions canceling and rescheduling our show Stand By.....I have a call into Charity Schreffler at the Hotel PLEASE... Do Not Do Anything on your own until I have buttoned up the changes of dates that being August 14 - 16th I hope to be able to move the entire room block . I'll get back to you all shortly  Alan

Honestly.....the weather will be better

It's a bummer we are being pushed 3 months but I get it. Let me know about the hotel. I was waiting to buy show field passes so I hadn't done that yet. I won't do anything with the hotel until marching orders are provided. I requested Wednesday (check in) -Sunday (check out). Hopefully, they do that for the right dates. 

One good thing: Old MacDonald won't be smelling like a farm(fertilizer) in August. 

We'll also get to see how Stroud's fan ratio works out, August is pretty hot in PA.

Ed, no excuses. You've got an extra 3 months!

We'll be standing by for instructions. Thanks Alan.

Old MacDonald.

Wait, I am younger than most of you

Attention ! Carlisle 2020... Date Change.   Carlisle Productions has changed the show date due to the current CV - 19 issues. Our new event date will be August 12, 13, 14, 15 & 16th. I am working on changing the Courtyard by Marriot Shippensburg PA room block dates.....this will be a simple date change with nothing for individuals to do.  Charity Shreffler our hotel contact is back in on Monday 4/6 and I will do the leg work and post the conformations ...Ed and I hope that everyone will be able to make the date change ….Stay Safe everyone !   ~ Alan & Ed.

Guess we'll have to wait to see what the situation is by then, and whether or not the border is open...

Thanks, Alan. 👍

Local news reports the infection “curve” is expected to peak around 4/18 here. 
The “all clear”, if that is the right term, is expected at the end of May or after.

I've got a good feeling about this one. Hoping everyone can make it & we'll be able to just move the whole shebang en mass. 

It's still gonna be weird times though. I don't think anyone expects the virus to just stop, or even fade out really quickly. Stay healthy everyone and get to work on those valve cover derby cars.

Stay safe everyone!!  

Well heres to being let out of the cage by then.
