subeman90 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is there anyone who might be interested in the Carlisle import show this year to be held in Carlisle PA on May 20-22, 2011. In the past we have done this show as a club "Ultimate Subaru" but the numbers are slowly falling and we have had some issues with the Carlisle folks in the past. Is there anyone that is interested in attending this show? I have not done any of the paperwork yet to say that we are even comming as a car club. I have had very little interest about this show from here. Here is a link to their site: http://www.carlisleevents.com/ce/events/import/ There is some info on there about the show and links to register your car if you are interested in doing the show. IF YOU REGISTER TO BE WITH THE CLUB YOU MUST PUT "ULTIMATE SUBARU" AS YOUR CAR CLUB. NO EXCEPTIONS! In the past we have had a really big tent to use at this event. This year we will NOT have that tent again. Our numbers have been too low to even call us a club (as defined by Carlisle show staff). I will bring an EZ-UP to use that a member has offered us. Depending on the quanity of people this alone will not be enough so if you have one of these too consider bringing it along to the show. They are offering discounts for early registrations and if you do it early enough they sill send you a pass to drive right in and not have to deal with that mess on show day. So there it is folks feel free to discuss and if you are a "Carlisle regular" you know who you are and if you are not interested please make a post saying such.

nkx Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 If you guys are in, I'm in. Carlisle is always a good time with fellow Subaru-heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I can't make it this year :-\ My friend is graduating from collage that weekend, so I need to be there. It will be the first year in the last 4 that I have not gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'll follow the thread. Haven't been to Carlisle in years but used to go every year. I stopped going the year before they broke out the shows so there was a seperate "kids" show. You know - lowered cars, stereo competitions, etc. Then the punks from what I understand got thrown out because they were also interested in fighting and such. I don't think that show exists anymore. I'm still recovering from an accident. I can walk o.k. but my back gets sore quickly. Carlisle is several hours from me in the car to begin with which didn't used to bother me but does now. If I attend Carlisle I'll be sure and stop in if the club has an area. But I wouldn't be attending per se as a club member. That said it would be good to see the club represented.

WagonsOnly Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 For the first time in years, I think I'm free that weekend. Going to check with my other half now. Hopefully will be able to drive down in the convertible, or in your old '83, Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoodsboy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I havent talked with my darling Chip yet... We're a might-come as of now. AKA I dont know how she feels. The work on Steves old sedan is really just beginning, but if it looks like Ill get it together in time I may consider going to the show. I really want to see everyone, but we could easily hang out elsewhere too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I really want to see everyone, but we could easily hang out elsewhere too. I would be into this also...let me know if this happens. Tell your darling to message me on FB if she wants to talk about carlisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As John said i do want to see you all but a 5 hour drive plus 20 dollar entry plus other expenses adds up quick. Is there another location closer to everyone that would work? Has anyone heard from Connie lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I havent heard anything from Connie. I am taking pictures... worry not. EA81 case is almost together (decked to the max) and I have a brat rear end for the RWD setup. Build thread to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 LOL.. I am kinda still around... ( I can be found much easier on FB BTW.

subeman90 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'd be into a connie's meet sometime this summer especially if some of you "northerners" don't make the trip down to Carlisle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 CONNIE!!!! Glad to hear that youd be up for another cookout/get together. Sounds good to me. So... are we tossin around the idea of going to Carlisle, or to Connies now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Pack up the tools and grub. screw Carlisle ! We'll have LB rockin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I would have to say that if we do a Connie cookout (titpicnic lol connie (inside joke)) that I can't do it Carlisle weekend as I have the SVX meet that weekend too. I plan of going to Carlisle even if you guys don't come as it is something I do with my dad but I am going to split my time between Carlisle and the SVX meet that is 40 min from my house. Yeah we should wrench the heck out of LB and get him running better. Basically let me say that again: I will still be going to Carlisle but I am not going to hang late on saturday.

sublue99 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I was disapointed with Carlise the last 2 years. So I won't be going this year unless a guy I work with twists my arm alot. He's bugging me to go. He's not into Subbies thou. wants to see BMW's & nissans. ( I know... ) But I will keep an eye on this thread for another location meet. I'm also on FB. If someone wants to friend me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subeman90 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 disappointed is the understatement of this thread. I can't friend someone on FB if I don't know your name PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 disappointed is the understatement of this thread. ^this. The past two years were kinda lame. I wasnt even that interested in the show anymore. All i was going for was to see people that i didnt see all year which is why i suggested a middle ground for everyone rather than running out there for the same purpose. If enough people do decide to go to carlisle this year than i may change my mind and make the trek again but last year i was thinking was going to be my final year....but then again...waffle house....decisions decisions.

subeman90 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 don't they have a WH in CT? I really think the Connie meet just might be the ticket this year. I go mostly for the people more then the cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 We'll go back to Carlisle when they have a redneck section. If you're a VW guy its still a great show. Kit cars your thing? There you go .... But for us to hang out with Volvos and Saabs that really aren't vintage or interesting at all ....phooey! To those who've never gone to Carlisle - it's pretty cool the first time , maybe even once ever other year or so. But once you've seen the old guy and his old Volvo with (???) million miles on it and the few old Italian cars ,etc. it's over. There's nowhere near the number of truely cool Euro-cars there that there used to be. And the field has filled in with too many late model cars that really suck. Cheers!

backwoodsboy Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 We'll go back to Carlisle when they have a redneck section. Eleventy-billion bonus points for Paul! Redneck section... I love it. For the record, Jess and I are more excited about a Connies-house bash than Carlisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
