Guys and Girls,
We are down to less than 60 days till we will be making the trip to Carlisle for the show in July. For most of us, this is a trip that we look forward to and plan from one year to the next. With that said, for those who will be attending the event, whether for the first time or multiple times, the experience is what you will make it.
The Carlisle staff and support groups all do an excellent job in putting the show on. But from having attending, working and supporting these events for over 30 years now, you can always make it better. Dan and a couple others on here have been working behind the scenes in getting a tent placed on the grounds for the FBBO group.
The tent will allow members here to have a common point for the purpose of meeting up and putting a face to a name, swapping parts, stories, etc. Additionally, Carlisle is a huge area and it will give everyone an area to sit under a shade and take a break from walking. It seems to always rain for at least one of the days for a couple minutes, so it will protect some from the rain if need be.
Dan has already paid for the tent and Hawk has offered to contribute to the tent funds. I believe that we have til June 10th to register, so for those who have yet to register, then do not forget to sign up under the FBBO group. Hopefully, we can get others to contribute as well to the tent cost as well so that two guys do not end up eating the entire cost. We have the tables and chairs covered.
With that being said, and the tent behind us, what works with most of your schedules? Would you guys like to have a meet up on Friday and Saturday? What is the best time frame? Are any members wanting to chip in on having a couple of pizzas delivered for a lunch snack? Anyone looking to meet up outside the venue for the Thursday night cruise in? Possible caravan down to the drag strip after the show winds down in the afternoon.
Post your suggestions or send me a message with any thoughts or ideals to make the experience something that can be built upon for years to come and that others will want to be involved.
I will start a roll call sheet for those who want to be be listed. I will only make public here or at the show, the member's screen name. If you should want to post a cell number or email address, I will only have it on my master list that I will keep or give a copy to Dan and Hawk. That way if any members wants to make contact, then we can possibly help out in that situation. If someone is vending and want to list their spaces, I can list that. Just let me know what works the best for you. So private message with your information if you will be attending.
Looking forwards to the show and hope to see some of the guys that are here from this site.
Thanks,
Richard
