Just curious - what's the count so far (including guests)?
Just received an RSVP from Chris Schofield. He doesn't have a car yet but he and his father will be looking around, watching for rides and asking questions. Thanks and welcome, Chris.
Count so far is 28 RSVP's, 17 Speedsters/4 Spyders/2 MG's, only 15 have done their Carlisle registrations (let's get going on this guys!!!), around 40-45 for the cruises so far.
Rooms are going fast and the end date for the block of rooms is approaching so be forewarned, we may not be able to add more rooms later so get yours ASAP!
Also, dinner arrangements do have limitations so first come, first served. We may be limited at the Rustic Tavern restaurant Friday night so the overflow would have to go to a nearby alternate locations.
Get 'er done!

I just received the following announcement from the folks at Carlisle:
Hey Everyone! Just a quick update, in case you haven

Sweet!!
Now that the weather is warmed up, I am getting psyched. My car is an oil change, safety check, and detailing away from being ready.

The Spyder is waiting on its new lic. plate, a clear film bra fitting, and a wax job....Its still in the body shop show room drawing customers like mad, to hear the owner talk about it....
We just registered for the show field.
Register for the Showfield, Vendor or Car Corral space at least 19 days prior to any Carlisle event and get a $10 discount......
Received an RSVP from Howard Bobrow and Matthew. Thanks, Howard!

Bruce---how many cars do we have so far?
I just registered with Carlisle. I usually do it the previous November or so, but my CRS is kicking in. Finding no receipt, I figured I better sign in.
This year, Carlisle Productions has changed check in procedures. It will be HUGELY convenient getting the gate pass sticker mailed home to us, instead of the usual formality of stopping at the gate! Goody bags etc. will be available to be picked up on the showfield.

Everyone,
I believe we are almost maxed out on our block of rooms at the Hotel Carlisle. Don't delay calling to reserve your room. If anyone gets the "no room at the inn" response, let me know ASAP so we can ATTEMPT to add more rooms to the block.

Received an RSVP from John Weyand - Hunny is coming from Ohio. Thanks, John!
Received an RSVP from Rocky Cimbrec. Thanks Rocky!
Heard anything from Max Zimmer?
Yup I did, he and Toni will be there ~
That's cool, MAN!
Toni knows how to manipulate Max, period!!!
We need to give her a wrench!
Maybe it's just me, but it seems we're getting more early confirmations this year. I'm thinkin' it's gonna be a good one.
Received an RSVP from Carey Hines. Thanks Carey!

It's not you.
The Carlisle crowd has been trending up and up
for the past four years, ever since we started
talking up cruises to and dinners at the
Caddy shack (Thurs) and where-ever you'll end up
on Friday.
As we all know, Bill Drayer does a wonderful job
of setting up the routes so everyone has a great
time riding through those terrific, rolling hills
around Carlisle. Last year we had over 2/3'rds of
the attendees at the AACA museum and the Soda Jerk.
More and more people are turning this into a long
weekend event.

You need to escape in the Speedy from New England....that baby isn't due until two weeks after Carlisle, you'll have plenty of room for a margin of error.
My daughter in-law's due date is THE SATURDAY OF CARLISLE.........Now that, may be an issue for me. ~Alan

Keep the cell phone charged up, Alan. You know, just in case.
You know there do seem to be a lot of pregnancy issues this year. Chris and Gordon Nichols, Tom Blankenship, Alan's daughter in-law, probably a couple of others. Something in the water last August, I guess.

Hoping that she is a few days delayed as we have to be out in New Jersey the following weekend anyway. I could see and hold the new arrival and attend the 700 plus vehicle Memorial Motor Madness Car Show I go to each year ...... That's MY plan anyway :)
Alan - if I had to guess, Karen's going early. But, we'll see...
Chris, any chance you might make a surprise visit if the little nipper makes an early arrival?
I think it all stems from heavy cell phone texting - I just can't prove it!!
He might make a VERY early arrival - like next month! Kathy's already thinking of how to book a sudden airline ticket, just in case, and then I'll make the trip in the truck, along with Murphy and Sophie (the Wild Jacks). We've done that before, and would probably take the inland route, so as NOT have to endure the DC traffic. Nothing more exciting than traveling with two dogs in heavy traffic when one of them has to go!
If the little nipper does come early, I think everyone'll be busy from then on for a while!

We've reached the max number of people we can get into our Friday evening eating spot - the Rustic Tavern. I was expecting this might happen so what we're going to do is the people who have already RSVP'd will eat at the Rustic Tavern. The people who RSVP starting today will eat at the Carlisle Diner which is along our cruise route and one minute before the Rustic Tavern.
The cruise will still leave the Hotel Carlisle Friday evening as scheduled and as one group. We'll work out the logistics of the two spots and provide directions at the start of the cruise.
