Speedsters meet Spyders at Carlisle - May 16-19, 2013 – 10th Anniversary - Who’s coming?

RSVP received for David Bayne, Pennsylvania.  Thanks, Dave!

RSVP received from John Estes, Rhode Island.  Thanks, John!

John Estes .............. pls. get in touch with me.  I'm in North Kingstown and will be going to Carlisle.  Are you going in the caravan?  Don Moretti from Cranston will also be going with his car.

John,

In case he missed your post I sent him your email address and cell phone number. 

ECB  

Thanks Bruce.  At most he can only be an hour away.  LOL

Not even that - he's down in Westerly......

well, Matunuck, really, but people can't even find Matunuck so Westerly has to suffice.

At most, 30 minutes, Gordon.

Oh, and I can find Matunuck.

I'm going to try to make it this year.  The food at the Caddyshack looks worth the trip!

Actually, over the past ten years we've come up with some pretty good eateries to cruise to, and the food at the show field is extraordinarily good, too.  True, we always talk up the Carlisle High School Marching Band food booth, and they're pretty good, but there is Pennsylvania Dutch, Southern BBQ, Chinese food, all kinds of burgers, really decent Southern Fried Chicken and some of the best salads and pies I've ever had.  Puts most other shows really to shame.  And the Carlisle food isn't especially expensive, either.

But the RIDE to the Caddy Shack in a long line of pretty fast moving Speedsters, Spyders and Exceteras is really, really cool.........

What Gordon said x2!

RSVP received from Bill Murdock.  Thanks, Bill!

RSVP received from Rob Mairs, Maryland.  Thanks, Rob!

Forgot to mention - Bill Murdock is coming from West Virginia.  

RSVP received from Jim Chichi. Pennsylvania.  Thanks, Jim!

How many total now?

A list with location would be nice but I hate to impose more work on you.

I really appreciate all that you are already doing.

Here's the latest list, still have a bunch on the fence...come on guys, tic toc:

RSVP received for Harry Blanchard III and Harry Blancard IV (6 years old), Pennsylvania.  Thanks, Harry!  Your son's going to have a blast!

Mike, looks like mid 70s plus to me with all the usual spouses. Impressive!

Hmmm, I wonder what white first names signifies. 

LOL.  White names mean I didn't know how to post part of my spreadsheet here and avoid some names showing with a white background.    

My son Harry IV (age 6) have been looking forward to the show for months but now that we found you guys we are looking forward to it even more.  

This will be his first car show away from home and my 900th so I hope to show him a good time from the eyes of a 6 year old.  He acts shy at first  but if you treat him like one of the guys and show him all the "cool stuff" he will lighten right up. (Maybe he gets that from me now that I think about it)

We ordered 10 year t-shirts, dinner tickets, and hotel rooms (i also have camping sites but that was before I knew about you guys)

Thanks Bruce for the 'invite'

I'm sure both of you will have a fun time.  I've had my grandsons to Carlisle a couple of times and they love riding and looking at the cars.  Here's Alex in Carlisle back in 2004 in his homebuilt birthday present:

RSVP received from Matt Briney, Virginia.  Thanks, Matt! 

I unfortunately need to bail on Carlisle. I have two huge international trips for work and have been trying to rearrange schedules with no avail. I am locking in for next year come hell or high water. I will be following along while in Japan and the following week in Switzerland. 

If anyone needs or wants a pass let me know, I have #30. This absolutely kills me as I have been looking forward to meeting everyone. 

DANG, Joe! That's a BUMMER to hear you're unable to join us in Carlisle. I'll make a special mention of you in the 10th Anniversary Carlisle video. 

Damn, that really blows the big one. Sandy and me were so looking forward to traveling with you this year.  Look at the bright side, now you'll make more money for more upgrades.  I'll take the sticker if no one needs it.  Mine is paid for but I need to go to the gate to pick up. I could give that one to someone else if needed. 

Thats great Joe.  Can drop off any time.  Give me a shout if you plan to run by in the Speedster. Also, Sandy is usually around the house if our schedules don't connect.   

Just finished the re-painting of the trailer (Pearl's "oyster bed").

I am now ready to meet all you'se "IM Folks" at Carlisle.......Even if your cars look suspiciously like a later version of "Pearl" (the one and only).

Joe - That sucks, Big Time.  I've been to both Japan and Switzerland many times.  Both highly over-rated compared to a weekend in South-Central PA with a bunch of like-minded knuckleheads.  

Sure you don't want to reconsider??

RSVP received from Richard Moure, Pennsylvania.  Thanks, Richard!
