Are stock Durangos welcome? I don't have any mods other than some badges. :(

I typically go with another car club (East Coast Car & Truck - with a tent at the bottom of the hill across from the tent where they install new exhaust systems), but now that my wife's Charger has been replaced with a Durango I'm sure I will meet some new folks up on the hill in the Durango section.

Now I have to get cracking on those mods for this thing...

I just booked the Motel6 as you come off the PA Pike two days ago to stay with some other MOPAR / NASCAR friends.

Is it July yet?

I will be there for the 8th time in the past 9 years. But, I always take my Sebring convertible. We got our '15 Durango last May so never had an interest in coming to look at the Durangos before last year. We did walk up the hill from our location to look at the Durangos last year; and, my wife now wants pin striping on ours after seeing it on some of them last year. I need to order some and put it on. Anyway, in 2011 my registration number was 8, in 2012 it was 5, in 2013 it was 2; and the past 3 years it has been # 1. I believe one of our Chrysler Sebring Convertible Club members may have grabbed # 1 out from under me this year; but, we won't know until they are sent out. My wife (it's really her Durango) and I will stop by the tent and say "hello." Carlisle is always a great time. We stay at a B&B down Holley Pike about 2 miles south of the interstate.

Should know definitely in a couple weeks if I can make it, but even if I don't, I'll make sure you guys get the homebrew. Already have a recipe picked out.

7. Chris M. - Silverunicorn (registered)

Worst case I am registered and maybe only come out on Saturday. Do they mail you the sticker and information? For shipping options the only option was "No Shipping Needed" This is my first time registering for an event like this, so I am a little new. My apologies if that is a dumb question.

Not a dumb question, Chris. They will mail you a sticker about 3 weeks before the show. Put it on your windshield before you get there so you can drive right in. Once you are there, you go over to the show building and get your dash card (it has your name, vehicle type, club info) and goodie bag.

You are absolutely welcome to hang at the tent, and contribute and partake of the goodies.. and that goes for everyone else here.

It was the Durango that brought us all together over space and time, but it's the fact that we're together that endures.

BTW, Lauren is hoping she'll have a 2500 or 3500 Cummins to bring this year.. the pizza oven should fit no problem ;)
