Old_School,

The mention of a tent is for on the grounds at the Event, not a recommendation or suggestion for overnight camping. We pay $200 a year for a larger oversized event tent for the weekend.

I didn't know that, just trowing out ideas. Sorry!

 

Don't stress over "showfield." It's nice to have a good looking vehicle, but the vast majority are just there to hang out and there'll be plenty of average and even ratty vehicles.

 

+1 "showfield" gets you admission and close-in parking, nothing else implied. If Lauren's in town, she may well rent a Chrysler product just to do that.

For the DOC, Carlisle is kinda like the Club Picnic, in a big automotive amusement park. From proudly displaying your vehicle, to wandering the flea market, to just hanging out under the tent - there's something for everyone.

 

+3. If they'll let my high mileage beater into the "show field", everyone is invited!! Really, it just gets you in everyday and a premo parking spot instead of walking in from outside like the commoners.

Seriously, we love to have as many folks there as possible. It's a great time? even in a gully washer with a river running right through the middle of our layout (and completely destroying my wax job!) :bugeyed:

Well, I've preregistered and am going to try whatever camping Carlisle offers via their registration. I'm not picky and just need a place to crash at the end of the day. I'm looking forward to it already!

 

Just a heads up. Got a call today from the hotel wondering when they should expect people to start booking the block of rooms I got for us?

Indy?? beater?? not hardly my friend!! let's get enough people registered so we don't have to pay for the tent!! if we get close and are only a couple short, I can register my other rango and Ram under the club's name.

 

I do believe a few of us have already registered Don.
As for the tent, we hope to get it for free. In the past all DOC events had a small club fee to cover some of the giveaways and possibly some door prizes.
As stated above, we set up the tent to serve as our shelter and kitchen with everyone bringing some goodies as well.
This thread is a bit unofficial and, as we get closer, we'll refine it to make an accurate list of who' coming and what they're bringing.

A drive-by pic Lauren took of the Harrisburg Moe's Southwestern Grill catering vehicles.

 

I did my gate-and-go registration this weekend, but I'm staying at the Homewood Suites for points reasons.

My brother-in-law will be coming along again this year, probably with both of his sons this time.

Lauren will probably drive down Saturday early-AM to join us and then stay for the work week.

Unless we have lots of empty passenger seats, I'm going to have to buy some tickets I guess.

Yesterday I painted my rear calipers in preparation.

 

I have a question. Say one can only attend Saturday due to their other half having a birthday on Friday and even an "act of god" isn't gonna let them attend that day. What would be the best option to getting showfield admission for one day? Would I have to pay the $40 and just not use the other days or do they sell one day passes?

 

IIRC, there is a single day admission, but it's not a show field pass. You park outside and walk in? not recommended!

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid long walks? I like them, but my lower back and torn disks don't! I think I'll just get the showfield pass and use it when I can.

 

Get the showfield pass! It's full access and guaranteed parking with the rest of the DOC.

 

Cheaper to buy the showfield pass, even if you only use it one day.
Preregister and you save more!

That's what I'm gonna do; less money and less walking.

 

looking forward to meeting you.

 

Same here. And everyone else too of course! :cheesy:

 

I register for Carlisle, now I just need to get a hotel. See you guys there.

 

Can't wait to see you and the D in Carlisle! :clap:

 

Ordered my pass today. Get it before June 4 and they'll mail the pass so you don't have to wait in line when you get there.

 

My passes came in the mail today so I'm all set!

BTW, do we have a Durangoville 2012 attendee pic yet?? Will there be one?? Just wondering.

 

No Durangoville 2012

 

Okay, thanks!
