Ok everyone here is the long-awaited RSVP and Order Form for the Saturday Gala at Carlisle. This will be held at The Orchards, a banquet facility and restaurant about 15 miles from the hotel site. There will be a cash bar, food, and the usual Tomfoolery that we do (and maybe some unusualTomfoolery or even hijinx) before repairing back to the Hospitality Suite for the annual Spare Parts, Weird Tools, Wine, Booze and Art Raffle.
Dinner is $40 per head, please send the check or money order made out to me at the below address or PayPal me the dough.
If you use Paypal please use “friends and family” option and put your full name in the message so I can credit you. BUT ALSO SEND THE FORM SO I CAN DO ALL THE HOUSEKEEPING/NAMETAGGING/ACCOUNTING/RE-COUNTING AS NEEDED FOR THE WEEKEND.
Thanks all!

Hi Bill:

I currently have Annie stored for the winter at Wampum lime quarry. Once she is out, we should get together.

SIX DAYS TO GO UNTIL CARLISLE BANQUET DEADLINE.
I’ve got to give the hall a final guaranteed headcount (and a check to cover it) next FRIDAY MAY 10 so everybody who wants to eat with us better get me your form and the moolah by then.
So far I have forms and cash from Paul, Bill and Audrey (Crash) Hass, and Billinparts.
Couple others have indicated they’re attending but I’m missing the scratch from them. It’s $40 a plate so floating that can get pretty heavy pretty fast if more than a few people defer.
If you sent me money and or forms and plan on attending, and aren’t Paul, Crash or Bill Aschman, please contact me ASAP so we can confirm reservations. I need to have everyone squared up by Friday morning.

Well, I guess I’ll post the few pictures I took over the weekend.
This was on the way to Carlisle. Trying to run with traffic in the left lane caused it to run a bit hot. I had to keep it under 70.
Thursday afternoon early arrivals.
We had a bit more room at the new hotel. I didn’t even know where the Hospitality room was until Saturday.
A new model was unveiled…
With a mid-engine Subaru powerplant…
Friday’s trip to the Racing Museum…
Some Show Field photos…
Assembling for the trip to the Banquet.
At the Diner Sunday morning before heading home.
We took 2 lane roads back east until we hit York, then we put up with the traffic and running hot.
I spoke with E J Kowalksi today about stamping louvers for me. (If you attended the trip to the motor racing museum, E J built the Salt Flat Racers on display there). That should solve the running hot issue.

The MG contingent needs reinforcements! I do consider Paul’s Intermeccanica Speedster to be an “honorary” Fake TD but don’t tell him that—or Henry Reisner!
Bill, can you explain stamping louvers in fiberglass? I removed my side panels and used a router with guides to cut out the vents in my hood. I would like to have vents in my top panels also, but have not found something I like yet.

That’s pretty funny! An inaccurate reproduction of a replica TD?

OK. those that were there know the edge of the macadam at the show field snagged one of my mufflers and pulled it off. Quick repairs were made on the spot but left me with an exhaust leak. It kept getting worse as we drove home. I figured the pipe was cocked at the header collector but that wasn’t the case. David insisted the #8 header tube weld had a crack in it. I removed the header (no small feat) duct taped the ports and filled it with water. No leaks.
I tried to upload a video with sound but this site doesn’t like the format. It appears that a new gasket fixed the noise. Once it cools down, I’ll re-tighten everything and button the body back up.
