Stellar job, Alan!
@ Steve Calderman Carlisle Hotel reservation....The hotel contacted me re: Your voice message you let for Carlisle reservation was in audible . Please call Charity Shreffler back again .
Al, I know that the hotel reservations have been transferred to the new August dates. Thank you very much! My question is this. Do we need to do anything with the "Showfield Registration", or will that be automatically transferred to the new dates?
Regards,
Alan,
It turns out Steve is a TD guy and was trying to register but said he could not reach Charity and reached out to me on the TD site. I encouraged him to try again as she did not understand his message. Hopefully he will get through now.
@SHU Because of the CV 19 thing Charity at the hotel is working evenings, Steve can leave another voice mail during the day and she'll return the call. THX !

Everything ( hotel and Carlisle field reservation )is already moved to August nothing for you to do !
Well, you have to remember to show up in August. Might be an issue for some of us, we're all getting older.
Show up where?
To pick up your trailer, Lane! The rest of you just go to Carlisle/Shippensburg in August.
Here is a Carlisle video we did a decade ago. Low quality video resolution, but still good fun!

Thanks for that, Marty! Now I'm fired up for next week. Wait... it's NOT next week? ARGH!
If you have past Carlisle photos and or videos please post to keep the juices flowing !
2010 was my first year.
A trailer from a couple of years ago.
No one is going to say anything about the Alvin and the Chipmunks backing audio in Marty's video?
I though it was cousin Vinnie singing. It sounds like his Speedo is to tight

Speedsters and friends. You can't get much better...
No, you can't.
P.S. : How much did Stan's noggin slow down the mighty IM-6?
'uge melon! Positively planetary! Like the Goodyear Blimp riding shotgun!
Meanwhile, 'ere me lads is a conveyance for Civilized Gentlemen, as seen in 2018. But no matter the year; this is what always happens when I drive onto the Carlisle show field.
My MG bros get only slightly less attention from the ladies....
And here's Rick showing his fresh build in the hut (Beautiful women lusting after the shapely fenders just out of the frame).
"TD Replicas: We're cheap yet we still manage to class-up this joint."
Meanwhile, in Speedster land...
One last one from the hut in 2018. No idea what this thing was, but I want one.

Exhibit A: Why I need "special" gear. If my legs were in scale with my torso, I'b be 6'6".
Note @Bob: IM S6 nestled comfortably behind the windshield of his mighty IM6, head 6-ish inches below the bottom of the rollbar. Then note where my inflatable forehead is in relation to both. It was a nice ride, but my nose was just about level with the top of the windshield.
It's not easy being a bear on a tricycle.

It was still a great ride, Stan. Hope we get to do it again soon.
Past Carlisle Videos ….
Good memories of those meets, Alan. A lot of faces that we no longer see, and some who have been constants.
Carlisle 2020 Update ...There has been some posts regarding our Carlisle event over on Facebook Speedster Owners. I posted this : All I'm going to say is Governor Wolf's PA can't financially survive a continued shut down and we all know the annual flu runs it's course . As of today, PA county's in the red phase are under a stay at home order through June 4th Counties in the red phase are expected to move to yellow by June 5th. Cumberland county ( Carlisle) is already in the yellow phase. So, let's be positive and look at our calendars and plan accordingly. Carlisle weekend is over 11 weeks (80 days) out, a lot can and surely will happen between now and then. Let's wait, hold our thoughts and review at 14 days out...……….. Thanks
Here, here! Too many Chicken Littles out there. Everyone needs to relax, have a little patience, and see how it goes........
I will continue to be optimistic. I'll probably go if the hotel is open(and will host us), even if the fairgrounds are closed.
Chins up everybody.
I plan to go (prolly solo) as long as we're not sitting around the fire pit and eating BBQ with masks on.
It's not totally about the cars.
Cumberland County goes green next Friday.
groups of 250 or under is ok with the proper precautions
I have been out of this loop for a very long time -- and I miss it. What I really miss is the annual gathering. And given the average demographic of all us active SOCers, caution is the order of the day. Somebody said "proper precautions" Hmmm . . . wonder what that means? Yes we are 80 days out, and we will bide some time. But I think we need to begin a discussion of exactly what we would do given that we do meet for this event. That is, maybe we do some things differently. How does social distancing enter in to what events we may want to do? What should we modify, or simply scrub? What might we do instead? I suggest that we run this around some NOW, and not wait for 14 days prior. Already, as an example Piperato says he'd come to the hotel even if there is no event at the fairgrounds. Well, I like that gumption, and dedication to the proposition. I'd second that motion. Over the years, the "Ofiicial Event" (hanging at the Saturday show field) has fallen down the priority list of cool things we enjoy doing. So, options? Attitudes? Preferences? Bring it on.
Disclaimer: in my absence, I have not read this whole thread, but rather jumped to the end and looked over the last few. Maybe all this has been chewed already??
I really should reply to this one;
That's a really beautiful Speedster there. The Maestro at work. Further, allow me to say that this tweaking by the Weber Whisperer has remained in fine fiddle for going into its third year. Danny once preached that once you get those stupid Webers set right, they work great without issue. Well, predicting the future is always hard to do and is often a fools errand, but I'm going to say that I laughed when I first heard him say this, but I am now a believer. I also knock on wood, just to be sure. I should say: I added a really good fuel filter to my system at the same time, and I can't deny that this may be having a good positive effect. 356 for ever.
@El Frazoo On 5/10 I posted ......" Let's remain positive and look at our calendars and plan accordingly. Carlisle weekend is over 11 weeks (80 days) out, a lot can and surely will happen between now and then. Let's wait, hold our thoughts and review at 14 days out " ...……….. Thanks
Carlisle Breaking News.... Wednesday, Carlisle productions was sued by the PA Department of Health for having over 250 patrons at Spring Carlisle . The suit was headed to court today but a half hour before the court appearance the suit was settled so Spring Carlisle and all the other car shows there this summer including our show will take place …. August 14, 15, 16th !
Here, here.
Like I said before, we'll be there.
Will you be here...... Or there? I'm confused.
And are we talking about your here or my here? Maybe by "there", you mean here.
