You know what they say about assuming don't ya???

 

ok... so Bard=LuckyOne...

 

Did we meet before??? Maybe at Connie's??

 

Yep. Me = Bard = LuckyOne. Had an identity crisis a few years ago, realized I can't carry a tune in a bucket, and I've got a whole bunch of bad luck. Hence the name change. I don't think we've met before, though. I have no idea who Connie is. I haven't disliked anyone yet who drove a Subaru, so I'm not planning on starting. Well, except for that one college kid driving an STI with more stickers on it than it had horses (and it had plenty of horses; took off like a scalded cat on a highway ramp).

 

I expect to preregister by April 15th. My only concern is what time I'd be pulling in... I don't expect Saturday to be an issue. If I leave after work Friday, I'd be pulling in around 10-11 PM, after the gates close. I might be able to talk the boss into letting me out after a half day on Friday, meaning I pull in around 5-6 PM, hopefully before they close the gates.

 

Maybe I can find someplace to crash overnight nearby...

If I remember correctly, the gate is open 24 hours??? I'm not sure how that works for you first arrive though.

 

Matt?? You're the Carlisle expert...

The gate used to be open 24 hours (atleast some gates) and camping was allowed.

 

Years ago we used to go thurs night late, see everything friday, and get outta there before it got busy.

 

Then it was getting that a lot of the vendors weren't arriving until friday and I was mostly after used parts so that didn't work so well. So we started staying overnight in a hotel or day tripping it.

 

Haven't been there in probably over 10 years though.

I was just going off the website: http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/events/import/ . Says "Gate Times: Th.-Sa. 7am-6pm / Sun. 7am-3pm". Wouldn't be surprised if reality differs from the website, though.

third weekend in May every year.

 

Tim , second line of first post. :-p

 

 

All - I am pretty sure they are talking about gates being open for general admission and participants. Pretty sure there's one gate open all night with the watchman present. If you're late its no big deal because its a National event so they must anticipate a few stragglers..... like us.

The gate is open all night. If you pre-reg and have all your paper work I belive you can get in any time. If your not you gotta wait till the reg trailer opens in the morning. Last year we slept in the truck right outside the gate till they opened.

Still trying to finalize. Could work good with the yard run in combo.

must be going blind, lol.

Happens to me all the time. Hope you're doing well. Cheers!

arg, the pre-reg deadline is tomorrow! i really want to come out but i dont know what car i would bring, and i would only be able to come out friday, and maybe saturday AM.

Did anybody pre reg ???

I did and i'm not really sure why.

 

oh well chance on the giveaway I guess.

 

Well , I'm pretty sure we're going and combining a yard run.

Jesse , Andrew , Charlie ...... Pete ???? Who's in from CT ?

 

I might not make the pre-reg , need to sleep real soon.

Made the pre reg. Put down for 2 cars in the USMB club.

Their website said pre reg closed as of the 16th. Never got in. But we'll go and pay the extra.

Hrmmm looking at the dates i might be able to do it, not sure. Hopefully the Justy would be on tthe road how cool would that be

three cylinders ,huh ?

 

Well , stick it between the dueces and quadrazontals. Is Ben's Rabbit - a single cylinder? hmmm 3 Rabbits makes a Justy.

I think it is a 0 cyl right now. Goes down hill really good!

I'm iffy, now. Wife's sister is having a graduation/engagement party that weekend. If I hit Carlisle instead, I'll have two women waiting to skin me when I get back. I've been given assurances that a yard run will happen, though.

OK , my son and I are definite.

 

Very sure we will be heading down Friday. Leaving here as early as possible.

 

Hoping to hit a yard or two. Still not sure if we'll do that , but hoping.... Let me know if anyone wants to team up at Harry's or New Ringgold ,etc. That's Friday late morning into the afternoon.

 

Probably camp , but if weather sucks we'll snag a room.

 

No reservations whatsoever. I missed the regi. deadline , oh well.

 

Looking to get my '78 down there. Cheers!

 

That's the spirit!

Take Friday off and join us ????

I am takeing Friday off. What's the plan exactly?

Hit yards. Have to tell my son not to shave so he looks old enough. Lol

Lol. How old is he now?
