Beautiful. The link works. No issues. Come on Springtime!

Excellent, Greg. As Bill mentioned, here’s the hotel info.

I’ve set aside a block of rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott for us, you can book at this link or call the hotel and book under Speedster Owners Group in the meantime at 717-475-2044. The room rate is $129 this year for the king, $139 for two queens.

We usually stay as a group at the Courtyard Marriott in Mechanicsburg. They have given us a break on room rates and allowed use of their conference room for  us to hang out. Pricing has not been finalized for this year yet. Looking forward to it.

Mr. Erickson! I just registered for Carlisle with my wife Sharon and looking forward to the event.  I’m not sure what hotel I’ll be staying at yet, but I’ll let you know later.  I assume we are still with the Speester group!

see you then. Gregg
