A question about Thursday.   Will we be have access to the grounds?   Well some of the members be doing the set up of tents etc?   Is help needed?   I'm 30 minutes south of Carlisle and available all day Thursday to help with what ever.  

 

I also have that big ole motorhome which is available if it would be a help to anyone.   It also could be a "in the way deal" as well so I will not bring it unless there is some indication that it would be a benefit in some way.    Alan what do you think?    

 

Is it safe to leave the cars on the grounds over night? 

Hi all,

 

It kills me to say this, but Michelle and I just found out that we have some family business we have to attend to this weekend.  Nothing serious, but it has to be done.  So sorry we'll miss you all this year, but we know it'll be a blast there.  I'll be there in spirit (especially when you're all chowing-down on those egg samiches!)  See you next year.

 

Rick

Rick and or others.    I think maybe I should just stay at the Hotel complex rather then running back and forth?   So if there are reservations made I'll just take your place and pay the tab or reimburse you as an individual.  That way I'll be there and won't miss out on the after hours fun.   I think Alan thinks that I should do this to be a better part of the group and to meet folks.  Just seems like a reasonable thing to do.  So how to proceed?   Let me know.  

I have rreluctantly decided to cancel my Carlisle adventure

for this year.  Sarah and I just returned from a transatlantic

cruise and three day stay in London.  We picked up a nasty

upper respiratory virus and it knocked us both for a loop.  I

am heartbroken, but my decision was necessary.  Have a great

time and hoist a couple for me.  See you in 2016.

Hoss.  

Note to Rich D.  Send me the particulars for getting my

hoodie shipped.  Thanks

Thanks folks.  It was a tough decision emotionally but easy from a practical standpoint.  Between my crud, Nolan's recovery from septupple (right, 7) bypass and Steve Pritchard's competing professional event, there will be nary a SAS car present this year.  What really irks me is that I had done the clay bar, tuned, refinished leather, replaced coolant hoses, new foot well carpet and new tires.  I was ready to boogie.  Holy CARP!  I guess as a friend of ours says, "I guess it just wasn't meant to be".

Danny~
