Well from what it looks like it will be Richard, Ed, Paul and myself this time –
anyone else coming?
On another note – I just spoke to Greg and unless something changes he will
not be bringing his speedie – he does not feel like it is even ready to tow.
I guess I will have a right seater again.
Not sure if I will be driving or flat tow again.
Looking forward to seeing you guys. Lots of ups and downs ( mostly downs )
this year, but plan on having a good time. Sounds like we have something to
talk about – see you guys there – Richard on Thursday and the rest Friday.
Safe travels everyone!
On the up side, if it’s raining Saturday night, I can provide warm, dry transportation to dinner!

Drive carefull, hope the weather gets better for you lucky ones going. I’ll be there in sprit this year, hopefully I’ll make it next year.
If anyone is going close to the I70-I75 intersection in Ohio and needs a rest stop or a wrench and a dry garage. I’m only 5 minutes from there. Usually have some cold ones on hand. Your welcome to stop by, I’m still off work with my shoulder so I should be around the house here. Send me a pm and I’ll give you my cell number to have on hand. Montie

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackHello everyone I was thinking of taking a ride to Carlisle and could bring car .But how do I get in with it or do I park some where and walk in and try to find you guys.And then drive it in.Thanks for any help .Rich
Allen, yes I’m on the north side of Dayton. Actually in Butler Township witch is between Vandalia and Dayton.
Tex, go to the Carlisle web site to see the deal. At this point you’d wait in line a bit and register as you enter. looks like a similar deal to parking at a sporting event (from my one-time experience).
You go in Gate 3, pay for your sticker, and then do what the guys standing in the roads tell you. They’ll direct you to our little covey next to the Speedster/Spyder contingent.
You want in for reals contact East Coast Bruce and see if he’ll let you in on the dinner Saturday (and/or Friday?) You probably have time.
Lodging is up to you; I don’t know how tough it is to find a hotel there by now, but probably doable. Rich Wobby might could help too but I won’t speak for him.
Do it, bro!
PM-ing you on the contact info
Yes, you can trailer in.
Carlisle provides a parking area for the tow vehicles and trailers.
There will be an additional fee for the tow vehicle & trailer.

Leaving tomorrow at 5 car is loaded need to spot somewhere for Browns and chips. I have a pullout bed that is free if needed bring a bag and pillow. Look for georgie White top green bottom motorhome. I certainly have room. I hate parking in tent area so it will be close by. I’ll see you all this weekend.
To all you lucky folks who are attending the Carlisle show, drive safe, have a great time and take lots of pics for we, the unfortunate ones who couldn’t make it this year.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackOMG, this is funny. A whole POT of coffee!
Cory Drake took the photo and wrote this on the Speedster forum:
“I got a decent shot of Rich, as we had breakfast Friday. We went to the Middlesex Diner, and he promptly ordered up a pot of coffee. It took a couple hard blinks for the waitress to comprehend he really HAD meant a pot — a full pot in addition to a cup — of Joe. We had some good conversation that morning. Cool, fun guy. “

Richard was absolutely the hit of the party.
TexChop–sorry i missed you. I think I saw your car. Rich said you were from VA though??
Ah coffee. The elixer of life. On my ID card in the blood type box It says “Folgers!”

is there a place to upload them or just in my album. Texchopper guy, I was
hoping to talk sorry I missed you.
AW man. I just noticed that in the photo, that coffee pot is NOT on a warmer. What’s up with that?

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackYou Tube compilation of some of the none-too-professional video and camaraphone pics I got.

Should be watchable in a few minutes.
EDIT: Watchable, not hear-able, as the Tube now apparently stripps out ripped soundtracks automatically. Can’t say I blame them, but kind of too bad for me since I spent a bit of time synching up video to the raw beats of The Shys’ “Call In The Cavalry.” If you have it on your ipod or something, start the video then start the song and you’ll be close. Sorry all.

And with all this chatter, I got home and Mrs Wobby thought we should do some yard work. Who needs a Pickup.And so as to quickly digress into a real lonely space of my brain that absolutly no one wants to visit regularly, Yes a pot of coffee.
I hate having coffee in those little cups always having to have the waitress come back time and time again.
Paul for some reason I’m having a hard time posting pics will try again tonight
Ed good pimms, Let me know if maryland will happen.
Schu and Greg Burned the Farmall wiring
And to anyone that is interested we just had a flood in central Vermont, most vehicles and toys survived. But my recently purchased EMT Training Vehicle, (A 1995 Ford 350 Ambulance) was submerged. Turbo diesels don’t like water. a whole new definition of PowerStroke
Good to hear from you, Richard. Looks like some of the gang are going to meet in Chambersburg MD when the Great Race passes through on June 14. They’re headed your way though, so you might want to meet up with them a few days later.
Sorry to hear about your amblance. Do you really get engine damage before the water comes through the exhaust ports? Cause if not, and if the water line wasn’t much higher than your pic, I’d think you’d be OK.
I think I read every post in this one, but I never found out where Carlisle is. What state is it located in?
As far as long drives, go, I made it most of the way from Seattle to Phoenix, but had several breakdowns along the way. That extended my total trip from 10 days to a full two weeks, and she still isn’t running again yet.
