I've got this urge to install a bilge pump in the Speedster floor. Might be the only way you'll see me!
After going to Carlisle for more years than I care to admit to and having only one day of sunshine,
I'll be amazed if this forecast holds true.... Eecall one year that they made an announcement to "take immediate cover" and the throngs of people ran for the buildings we were then was hit with a wind shear type of thunder storm that had 50 mph gusts.

A 1/4" hole drilled into each side of the floor works wonders !

Good tip Alan, but I don't like water getting in - in the first place. Actually I'm working on a plan to install thin sheet aluminum wheel well liners, but don't know if I'll get it done in time. Here's hoping for good weather!
JHS, no, you're not alone. I've been watching the weather sites intensely. I'm hoping for the best,but like Alan said the past years have had some s***y weather. Last year it was cold and foggy London town. I
stowed a big tarp and bungees just in case. I think we'll be lucky this year though.

Any forecast past 12 hours is just a guess and seriously only a guess........of course they always make it sound like they forecasted it that way all along.
I'm with Steven - Pennsylvania is like everywhere else, if you don't like the weather wait a minute and it'll change. The weather has been gorgeous the past few days and we ordered similar weather for next weekend, so not to worry.
I went to a cruise/in car show last Sat. in a Middletown, Pa. town park.
Beautiful weather, got a little sunburn and had a great time. Weather forcasted was partly cloudy with chance of rain.
Can't believe only 6 days to go!!

Let's hope that the weather is not worse than it has been down here with most of the day being pretty nice and a little "popcorn" storm in the P.M. followed by clearing and then pretty nice once again. I could live with this. Maybe if we do a "no rain dance" we can prevent a total rain out. That would be bad.

Keep 'em coming Bill. It makes all of us prospects feel good even if it doesn't turn out as good as this.

I'm gonna try John: The other 3 stations are not being so optimistic.
But the way it's been here, I'm gonna bring sunscreen. It's a crapshoot where a small cell will show up on the doppler. They haven't been hitting but here and mostly there. When they do, it moves out quickly and the sun shines again.

Mike,
You know what happens when you squeeze a balloon, right? It looks like Fern may be sitting on your mechanics head.

From Bill Kehn (a friend of Chris' in the Eclipse club, and a real meteorologist):
"There will be showers and thunderstorms crossing PA during the day Friday which could impact the area midday and afternoon (not sure what time you guys are arriving so I thought it's worth mentioning). After this it turns breezy warm humid both Saturday and Sunday. Isolated thunderstorms late Saturday with temperatures in the 80s. There's a little better threat of showers and thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon with temperatures again in the 80s. 60s at night."
Sounds like good show weather! Showers pass right over a Speedster at speeds over 60mph!
We're almost packed!
We're REALLY ready for this!
See you all in Carlisle!!

Gordon & Jerome,
Thanks for the updates on weather! We're ready. I've received several calls and e-mails from people who are packed and ready to go or already on the road this morning. Our plan is to hit the road EARLY tomorrow morning, stop by the hotel (hopefully around 9 but we might be a little later so don't wait for us) and then on to the fairgrounds. We'll be watching for the arrivals!

We northerners are also getting ready. There will be at least three from Ontario, and Tom Weider from north N.Y. state.
I don't know if we can arrange a caravan due to different schedules, but we do plan to get there!

Robert,
I can't keep my mind focused on work anyway, maybe I should just send myself home before I make a mistake.

That's the way to look at it, Bruce.
However, being an old British sports car nut, what's a little rain? A British car meet can't be held without rain. As they say, it's not the rain that is the problem, but lack of good clothing to keep yourself dry.

Well, I just had my rain for the weekend. Outside working on the air filters and general 'clean up', when the sky opened up.
Of course, the top was down. Hop in, dart into the garage, and get the towels out.
It will be a sunny weekend.

Oh gee, no trips to the wash rack this year? Ha! I'll believe it when I see it. It would be nice, though. BTW, this was Jerome's thread and is he even coming??? Come on guy, I'm bringing some pork rinds just for you!
