Hotel Carlisle 2010

I probably was down in West Virginia by then:(

Gordon.....See what ten hours of "CAR TALK" will do to you?????
I'm just saying.......;-)

We're in! Woo Hoo!! Come on May 20th.

ditto...see y'all there

Me too! First week of 2010 and I'm already gettin' psyched up.

The office is now open for suggestions for our Saturday evening speaker series.

I've talked with Danica Patrick (honest) and she said she would be out of the country that weekend (either Dubai or Malasia, I can't remember - FIAA race).

So that leaves us with a golden opportunity for the next, great, "Speedstah Speakah".

Suggestions??

I'm in. Got my rez with Hot'L Carlisle for the 20th thru 22nd and also my Christiansburg (VA) rez for the 19th and 23rd. Another great adventure is in the making. I believe that sweet bride Sarah, unencumbered this year by the "big boot", will be joining me as well. Woooo Hoooo, can't wait!

Hey Gordo, how about Jay Leno? (silly?...Sat night...no show...just sayin')

How about Jim Youngs? He and Queenbee are always at Carlisle.

Count me in for 2010! Matt always looks foward to the trip, as do I. Hopefully All our WEST COASTERS will make it out too. Winter might hang around awhile, La Bomba is looking foward to getting out.

I just booked my room!!!!

Booked my room see you all that Friday.

This one's ramping up quickly! Yee-freakin'-hah!

OK, Gents,

Better sign up quickly! There is Dickson College graduation on the same weekend. As most know, I'm an Innkeeper/Owner and would prefer to cut a deal innkeeper style...3 nights in Lake Lure for 3 nights in Carlisle. Most B&Bs are full. I was surprised to find that the B&Bs have very attractive pricing. No wonder there full.

Are all 30 rooms booked?

Teresa just booked ours this morning.
Just so we're all on the same page, three nights and four days means four Hawaiian shirts, right? Spooners if you got 'em?
Damn, but I'm looking forward to this. Between military deployments, the Wrench showing his ass a bit too much and having to roll outta there early ... The zany build schedule -- and my neck being jacked last year, I only remember being at the show one time from start to finish with an operational car!
I am really, really looking forward to this. I might even be able to freshen up the Sloppy Jalopy myself this year!
I'll be drafting up some more "furthest" art this year, too.

Remember the debut, anybody? It's come a long way ...

Just booked our room. I asked the clerk to make sure we're not next to the Drake's room. We don't want to be kept up all night by Cory getting his 'Freak' on!! Bwaaaaaaaaa

Ginny is looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out the buffoonery!!

Wonderful!!!

Less than 4 months away folks!!!

Gerd, Vince, c'mon over!!! It'll do yah good.

Aaron, does that mean you're coming after all?

I remember, Cory. Your functional car was my second one(2007), and 2006 was the first for both of us. Guess it's time to register soon. Any beer style requests? It's about that time too.

Lane, can't wait to see you, and Jim, and Alan, Hoss, Gordon, Bill, Bruce, Cory, Carey, Leon, my main man Lenny and just keep going. Man, it's a long list, getting longer every year! If I forgot to type your name, my fingers are tired, that's all.

See y'all soon! BTW, drove Spydie today, dang I love that car!

Lane,

Thinking very seriously about it! I don't have a right-sider yet. Linda says no way to that kind of distance in the speedster! Looking to by a Porsche 911, 996 for long distance traveling.

Which of you Left Coasters will be needing a place to crash out here?
Carilsle is a hike from anywhere. Baltimore is a fairly decent three hours away. We're minutes from BWI.
Let us know ... Happy to put folks up at La Nueva Casa de Drake!

Oh-oh . . . nueva casa del Drake?? Did you guys get a new house?? I musta missed something. Been traveling a bit recently. Wassup??

Cory,

Some of us got to know the Hoopty when she was just a babe (4th from the left. Sykesville, MD 2004).

COME ON VINCE
LETS GO
THEY WONT EVER LET US COME BACK

Correction.....the Hoopty is the fourth from the RIGHT in the photo.

We should do the winery tour again this spring.
If memory serves, my pal Chuck drove the car to that event.
Any chance of you e-mailing a decent-quality copy of that picture to hooptypilot AT gmail.com?

God! I don't have a clue where my pics r from that run.
That was my first exposure to dangling BARBIE HEADS.....gulp!
~WB

for the record: I have made my room reservations thurs - sun. add another (two, actually) to the list.

With great regret, I have to pull out. My wife is due 6-18. Even though this is almost a month before, I don't want to take the chance, and I wouldn't be able to enjoy the experience to it's fullest. I was really looking forward to meeting everyone and showing off my new Speedster that you helped me spec, but I really think I need to wait until next year.

Tom, you should have pulled out in early September if my math is correct. Just kiddin, congrats on the new baby!

Thanks Marty

Cory and Bill........check your email for pics.

Marty - that was pretty funny! Congrats, Tom!

Thanks Jim. Marty, I still would like to meet you and see your car. We could still meet where we discussed and have a cup of coffee or a meal together. I think I could risk the drive to Toledo and back :)

tom you should be able to drive it cross-country after brake in and first oil change.it will just be loping along at say 75- 80 mph. bill

Tom, Why don't you just bring her along. Im an orthodonitst and can surely help deliver a baby should the need arise! Hell, it would be fun for everybody!

Tom - Doc Howie is right about bringing your wife. Quite a few of the SOCers attending Carlisle are in the medical field (Doc Howie, me & wife, Cory, Kelly's main squeeze, et al) and would be very capable in a delivery scenario. Besides, it would be very interesting to watch Howard deliver a baby using nothing but a mouth mirror, a half hollenbach and elastic ligatures!

If you are blessed with a baby at Carlisle you could name her 'Porsche' (or him 'Turbo').

...I'm just saying...

Im bringing my scrubs!!

Yeah. No thanks. You guys crack me up. Maybe the Dragon in October.

Sorry Tom, but Jim's post was aboutthe funniest I've read here in a month of Sundays.
He IS right, though ...
