CLUB TENT

If 25 of your closest friends are coming to the show, why not sign up for a Club Tent – IT’S FREE! That’s right, if you have 25 vehicles registered under one single club name you will receive a FREE 20x20 tent to hang out in all weekend. This will be your own area; therefore you will not need to worry about finding an area large enough to park together each day. Don’t have 25 friends coming to the show - no worries - you can still reserve a club tent with a low $160 payment. If you have any questions please contact toni@carlisleevents.com or 717-243-7855 ext. 121.

[BonzoHansen]

Yes. LOL

[mudjnky]

OK, Who's getting the tent?? I just made hotel reservations at Hotel Carlisle. ACA got a pretty good deal, room is regular $139., got it for $111.

Did you just tell the HC you are with the ACA?

[GrandmasterCow]

me too !

[mudjnky]

Yes, when you call the Hotel Carlisle let them know you are with the ACA. I would do it soon though, she said it is filling up fast. When I asked for reservations she asked if I was with a group or event.

[BTK79]

I just booked my room for Fri & Sat with the ACA group rate.

[firebirdcrazy]

I am in for the show Sat and sun

[mudjnky]

We'll be heading up Friday night and stay thru Sunday

[PolarBear]

Why does E-town ALWAYS have to be the same damn week as this? I would like to go to Carlisle and since it is GM instead of just Camaro's, WHAT TO DO!?!?!

[BonzoHansen]

Go to Carlisle, and see NHRA when they come through maple grove.

[PolarBear]

I thought it was the swap meet weekend. Makes a decision a little easier

[BonzoHansen]

Here are Carlisle pics from the past few years.

[mudjnky]

That was a great time, our first year there. Can't wait to go back!

[PolarBear]

If I went I would assume that I would be parking in a different area then the Camaros?

[mudjnky]

We were there under the ACA (American Camaro Association), if you don't have a Camaro You would probably just register with Carlisle and they would park you in your respective class. There are different sections for different classes/groups.

[chevyt454]

My birthday is June 20th - perfect gift to myself.

[lrdvadr]

I'll be there Friday to Sunday.

[IROCZBeast]

anyone know about how long of a drive this is from North Jersey, Clifton to be exact?

[BonzoHansen]

takes me ~3hrs or less to get there.

[bad64chevelle]

I am probably gonna take my dad June 20th is his birthday, and he really needs to start making plans to get out more. He has been working two jobs and has had no time to mess with his cars, so this may get him back in the mindset.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Ok I have been thinking of doing this. June 20th is my b-day / graduation so i have off for the weekend. I was planning on driving out early saturday morning and coming back late saturday. But its not 100% my car is still at the body shop so it all depneds on when that comes out

[chevyt454]

I'm doing a 350 swap on my car right now. Hopefully I can make this a test run!

[BonzoHansen]

BTK (w/Joe) and I (w/James) will be rolling out of Hamilton Friday AM. I think we left early last year, like 6. Get through the tough parts of the TPK pre-rush hour. Be there for lunch.

[BonzoHansen]

BTK says we leave at 630 AM!

[Pampered-Z]

I'll be at E-town the entire weekend.

Scott, don't forget to wear some nice high socks so you can get those cool tan lines Anna likes so much. :loser:

[BonzoHansen]

I discussed that with her last night. I have new & improved socks for sexier ankle tan lines.

[firebirdcrazy]

I will be going Sat morning

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Someone convience me to drive to this show saturday. Is it worth the 3 hour drive? How many cars are in attendence?

[BonzoHansen]

Well kind of because its my birthday / graduation weekend and my family would like me to come to the shore house in capemay for the weekend. But i can make the choice to come to the car show.

[Rich2279]

Is this a swap meet also or just the car show?

[JL8Jeff]

It's the GM Nationals and the Camaros at Carlisle. Car show, swap meet, car corral, etc. If you want to see some of the rarest GM cars out there, this is the place to go.

Oh, I'll be there. :nod:

[Fleetwiz]

Just got back as a day trip..not to bad thought it would be a worse ride. 3 1/2 to get there 4 1/2 to get back way NNJ (heavy rain the last hour) Very cool show very cool people. next year I do the weekend gig with wife at a hotel. No question its worth the ride.

[JL8Jeff]

I got back about an hour ago. Nice turnout, but not as many top flight restored cars, a lot more modified and nice drivers. It seems like the gas crunch has hit the big players more than the little guy! :scratch: I had a good drive out at 6:15 this morning and just as good coming home around 5. The car is making some new noises so I need to get under it and see what came loose this time!

-

[firebirdcrazy]

It was a nice turn out. A lot of great rides and of course great people. Really good to see some of you guys there. I took 1st place in my class so it ended up being a great weekend lol. See you guys at Etown This weekend or at the Firebird lawn show in upstate NY july 5th

[BTK79]

Had A great time again this year . Might even think about going out on thursday in 09 .
