Carlisle Chrysler Nationals July 13 - 15, 2018

[1978 NYB]

Well Fella's, its never too early to get the next Carlisle thread started.....

Only 224 days to go. LOL!

The main reason I have started this thread is to inform everyone that Carlisle is offering a 20% discount if you register and pay for your 2018 Carlisle event ticket before December 31st. Nice Christmas present for yourself and your wife. So that means the cost right now for the Showfield Pass which is good for the entire event and includes 2 people will cost you $44 instead of $55. I know the discount is not a big deal but every little bit helps. So if you add up $10 per person for Friday, Saturday, Sunday alone will cost you $60 for 2 people. Plus you have to pay to park at most areas around the perimeter of Carlisle and then the long walk in to Carlisle.

I'm feeling well enough that I registered my 1978 NYB today. If I have a setback....I'll bring the 300. I plan on rebuilding the engine in the NYB. Nothing very radical but I'm planning on bumping up the compression to about 9.5 to 1, .484 lift performance cam, keeping the 452 heads which will have new bronze guides and a 3 angle valve job. I still have to rebuild the front door motors and regulators. Other than that....Cindi Lee will be ready to run the open road from coast to coast for a long time.

Way to kick it off Bob. I guess I better take advantage of the deal and register with the Imp..

 

[halifaxhops]

I will be there in p 206 hanging with Mopar Mitch and a ton of Sun Machines! Prob run some for people and the young guys who never saw them work.

Bob,
That's how to get a jump on things for sure.

 

[Walter Joy]

I’ll have my W250 there. The Polara project has yet to take off

Maybe this year I'll actually make it. I'm attending a wedding in Nova Scotia the weekend before, and will be stopping in after that. Reservations were made a few months ago at the HI Express in Carlisle for check in on the 12th. Don't know yet if I'm driving out or flying, but in any case it's just me, not one of the cars.

Seems to me you folks need to participate in some fashion... Dylan may never live so close again.

 

[Big_John]

We'll be there with the 300.

I just did a google map of that trip.11,000 km not including any touring at my stops. That's probably an additional 1,000 km. The total trip will likely be 24-25 days. There's July taken care of.

Just don't think about fuel or lodging... it nearly makes sense. I think you should go for it.

 

[300rag]

That's about $4K. I still have to eat, too.

Bet you could spend 5 digits if you tried...

Wouldn't have to try too hard. I just have to step up a bit in my accommodations.

Leaving the house/garage is not my favorite thing to do , but we'll see.
I doubt my dad could make it.

 

[polara71]

I will just be passing through this year ...two days and maybe no car on the field

Wow Dave. The family coming? You must have something important to do to to just buzz Carlisle.
I pre paid for my vendor spaces before I left the fairgrounds in July. P134/5/6, and Jeff will have his pop up on P137.

 

[70bigblockdodge]

Jeff will have his pop up on P137

I'm glad to see Jeff is doing it the right way now, no need to leave leave the fairgrounds till Sunday.
