I seem to make a new list every year because I can't find the previous one. 8>(
Anyway, WX looks like late Spring/Early Summer, with temps in the 70's (at least at this distant point). It could dip into the 50's or soar into the 90's - we've had both extremes over the years.
To register and for entrance to the show field, go to Gate THREE (see map) http://www.carlisleevents.com/ce/events/import/documents.asp
We will have a club tent on the show field, right next to the cars (it is the club anchor on the field) so you can get out of the sun and chat. Enter the field at Gate Three. We should be set up around space 200: Go straight into the field and along the bottom of the hill on the left for about 400 yards, then turn right, heading between the main buildings, then look for the "Speedsters Meet Spyders" tent banners. We've got 100 parking spots - you can't miss it.
There is a complementary car wash area about 100 yds inside the show field on the left beyond the Gate Three entrance (where you register). You can't miss it. Free water and cleaning supplies, garden hoses, all that stuff.
Carlisle events also has some of the best show field food booths you'll ever try - don't worry about eating food or putting on weight that weekend. You'll do plenty of both.
So here's what to bring:
Warm and cold weather clothes - think layering, here.
Some sort of light rain gear.
Comfortable walking shoes - the the show covers a BIG area. Vendor area is 15 acres alone.
TOOLS! (whatever you might need to fix something along the road. We'll have PLENTY of tools for larger jobs once you get there. (if you need my all-inclusive road spares list as a reference, just ask and I'll post it.)
Some sort of water resistant car cover - mine is a Home Depot "Blue Tarp". This is mostly for the night-time dew (it can be pretty heavy) and it just gets you going faster in the early AM.
Detailing stuff (others will probably have some of this, too, plus MeGuire's and others will have vendor space so you can buy it there - hopefully, you won't have to meet Barry MeGuire...).
Lawn chairs, if you can fit them.
Sun Block
Camera(s)
BEER
************************************
I'll be bringing the following (All may or may not be available on the show field, depending on whether Kathy takes off with the truck to find Quilt and fabric shops):
Name Badges for everyone.
Lawn chairs
coolers
Half of my shop full of tools
lots of spares (plus there is a parts vendor area at the show)
A trailer to act as a lift
Carlisle is the cross-roads of Pennsylvania at the intersection of I81 and the Penna Turnpike (I76) They have Walmart, Staples and all of the usual stores there somewhere within a ten minute drive. Car part stores are within 1/2 mile of the show field. All the usual Pharmacies are within 10 minutes of the Hotel.
