The Carlisle 2012 Thread

[Rionart]

I am deliberately double posting this because the events forum defaults into a calendar format and clutters the title with times and dates..


Good Morning Everyone,
A bit late to get going for this year, but here we are...
The important stuff:
Carlisle 2012: May 18th-20th.
We are booked into the same hotel as last year, I have reserved the bar this year for us to have a larger indoor bench racing venue, we will also have the pool area, so if the weather co-operates we can be outdoors.
Here are the details:
We have 50 rooms held at the Quality Inn, 1255 Harrisburg Pike. T: 1 717 243 6000.They are booked as Opel Motor Group for the Friday and Saturday nights.
I have booked 45 doubles and 5 kings, all non-smoking.
The rate is $99.99 / night.
If you prefer a smoking room, ask when you make your reservation and you will be able to change (first come basis).
The cut off date for booking your rooms is April 20th, I urge you to book sooner than later to give us all an idea of numbers, and to leave time for me to get more rooms if needed.
Rgds, Rob.

Very much looking forward to seeing everyone again this year and great news about getting the bar reserved for the club. Kay and I will be trying the outdoor experience this year and heading up to 'Base camp Opel'. Can't wait to smell that bacon cooking on Saturday morning! Lets hope the showers are hot.

I'll be there as always.. although maybe without an Opel Kadett motor lost somethign coming back from Charlotte last fall and I haven't had time or money for a new motor.

Hopefully CHarger06 will be done and he can bring up his..

There's a chance I will miss Carlisle for the first time in 17 years () as I may be going to the International Alt-Opel Meeting in Rüsselsheim.

Completely understandable. If you go, we want souvenirs.

I thought the same thing, but I think he means Limited Slip Differential(LSD)

In fact, let's ALL blow off Carlisle and do a big charter flight to the Fatherland! Weird beers, crazy German chicks, meals composed entirely of sausages, crazy German chicks, balls out Autobahn driving, crazy German chicks.......

Oh yeah, and that opel thing......

This weekend my Wife's 280ZX and My GT are entered in Motorama, which utilizes the whole PA State Farm show complex and is an awesome event! So if nobody has any plans this Saturday or Sunday(17-18th), stop on by....Our car club is in the Speed Zone section.

Motorama Events- Car Shows, Racing, Go Karts and Robots, Arena Cross, Tuners and more..

Takes a bite out of the "Cabin Fever" we are having!

Looks like fun. I can't imagine that place filled with cars and such. I go there in October for the Pennsylvania National Horse Show when it is filled with horses. What a contrast!!

I'll be in Valley Forge National Park this weekend with the scouts so I won't be able to make it. Have Fun!!!

Jeff,
The Equine Arena is used for the nitro R/C cars and it's a huge track! In the Main Arena the Motocross/Quad Runners compete on a pretty neat course also....there is lots to see for sure!
Have Fun at Valley Forge....hope you have nice weather!

The Equine arena is used for warm ups and the Main Arena for the actual show. Maybe in October, I'll take the GT to the show and we can get together for dinner. My son and I usually stay until 10:00 PM and grab a snack at Red Robin (YUM!) on Rt 22.

Possible Snow on Sunday, but we will be packing up by then.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread

[Rionart]

I know I was late getting things going this year, but I just checked in with the Hotel, and only 6 rooms booked so far...
C'mon peeps, even if you are thinking of going, grab a room...you can always cancel the booking up to a week or so before the event...
More rooms booked gives me more leverage for anything else we need from the hotel....
rgds, Rob.

Will do tommorrow
