SPEEDSTERS MEET SPYDERS AT CARLISLE – MAY 14-17, 2015

Keep in mind, this is a meet and not a competitive show, if you can get your Speedster, Coupe, Cabriolet or Spyder there - regardless of its condition - bring it. There will be awards for the longest distances driven and the longest distances trailered. And you're welcome even if you can't bring your car or are still shopping for one. Come on out and join us, we’ve had as many as 65+ cars in attendance and this may prove to be our biggest year yet! Watch this thread for updates and announcements.

Other than your Carlisle registration and Saturday evening awards dinner you don’t have to pay anything else in advance – just pay as you go. One exception: we ask that everyone bring a contribution (new parts, products, goodies, memorabilia, etc) for the annual raffle held at the hotel Saturday evening.

 

One last thing: PLEASE complete the RSVP form (see below) and let us know the details of your plans so we can plan accordingly.

Come out and join us, you won’t be disappointed!

Drive ‘em, tow ‘em, trailer ‘em, but get them there somehow!!

Also please note...

 

There are two options to cruise Friday morning offered on the RSVP form, both will leave the host hotel at approximately the same time. Please choose one or the other on your RSVP:

 

1.Countryside cruise to the fairgrounds

   This is for the folks who are itching to get to the fairgrounds and want to take a more leisurely scenic route.  Route instructions will be provided and the cruise will be self-guided.     

 

2. Cruise and tour of the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing (EMMR)

  This will be an organized cruise to the EMMR in the morning, a tour of the museum followed by a cruise to the fairgrounds for lunch.  

 

RSVP received from Lane Anderson, South Carolina

 

 

...in which I checked BOTH Friday events.  I should have checked only the EMMR cruise.  I last did that my first Carlisle (2005) and would like to see it again.

Lane - No problem, got it.  Thanks.

After receiving many compliments last year we'll be back to the same super location of the Radisson Hotel Harrisburg in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania - just 10 minutes from our host hotel. Not only is the food delicious but they have once again worked to give us the same great price and the best food and facilities.

The dinner will be a buffet menu, following are the details:

What if I decide to join you after the May 1 deadline? We cannot guarantee adding people after May 1 due to the room capacity, contracted headcount and pre-ordering of food. Let me know as soon as you become aware of a change in your plans and I'll let you know if we can add you in.

 

Is there a max headcount? We have plenty of space but there is a room capacity. Reservations will be on a ”first come, first served” basis, so please get your checks and RSVP form to me ASAP.

 

What is the schedule for Saturday evening? It’s only 10 minutes from the Marriott to the Radisson. Everyone should plan to arrive at the Radisson at 6:30 PM for a 30-minute social with dinner starting promptly at 7:00. The awards presentations will follow dinner.

Thanks Kelly!

Just to keep the stoke going for Carlisle 2015, here's is the video from my last visit to Carlisle in 2013. A great time hanging out with 80-90 of my best friends, their cool cars and great times! I never get tired of watching this video.

 

Hope it amps up the excitement for first time attendees to SOC Carlisle!

Jimbo,

 

You are the Dude of video.  Great music too.  I am indeed psyched.  2015 -- bigger and better than ever.

WHAT'S HAPPENING THURSDAY?

 

Thursday is the first day of the Speedsters Meet Spyders weekend and the day our long-distance travelers start arriving and stretching their legs. The Courtyard Marriott parking lot starts to fill up and many more of the folks who just can't wait for the weekend to begin start to arrive. If you're early enough, take some time and enjoy a quick dip in the hotel pool or gather in the parking lot and meet the arriving participants.

 

Around 5:00 PM we'll gather in the parking lot of the Courtyard Marriott for a photo session and drivers meeting. Dress is casual and Hawaiian shirts are popular but make sure you save one for the Saturday evening awards dinner. At 5:30 we'll leave for a beautiful countryside cruise to the Caddy Shack restaurant at the Armitage Country Club (www.caddyshackrestaurant.com). Our Thursday evening group used to be small but we've grown over the years to a much larger number as the Carlisle weekend became more popular. The Caddy Shack has been our go-to Thursday dinner location for many years and they always come through with plenty of reserved space on their large covered deck, super service, an extensive menu and payment by separate checks. The wings are some of the best - not to mention many other tasty eats. And the beer is cold!

 

Following dinner at the Caddy Shack we'll head back to the hotel. The evenings are always a great time to socialize and party and the hospitality suite at the Courtyard Marriott is the place to be. By 9:00 things are rolling and the room fills up. BYOB and snacks and spend the rest of the evening making new friends, catching up with old friends and telling stories – sometimes to 1:00 AM and later.

 

Tomorrow's another day and we'll be starting out early...

 

Just sent my RSVP Bruce.  Michelle and I are looking forward to another great meet!

 

And once again, the lead photo in a Carlisle Productions email and newsletter is...SOG at Carlisle!

 

Geez, they should be paying SOG to use our cars in their promo material!

From another thread...

 

Danny, my brutha! Unfortunately I won't be able to join you all in Carlisle this year. Same issues as last year.

 

Ginny's mother, Helen, lives with us and we provide her healthcare. Helen celebrated her 100th birthday last Thanksgiving. She is relatively healthy but requires monitoring for her own safety (poor balance, assist with walking, getting dressed, prepare meals, etc.). So, we are unable to leave her for extended periods. A local weekend away is more feasible for us (with paid health care provider staying at home with Helen).

 

I'm thinking that when the time is right, I will be driving my VS out to Carlisle and pick up where we left off on the shenanigans! 

Sounds good, Jim.  We'll look forward to you joining us again in the future!
