Al N. Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Mr. B- New club prez John V. was talking about the chance of a bona fide club booth at the show. Could be fun. Also, there is an auto-x there (or at least there was last year). Since my brother lives nearby, I'm sure I'll be there. Maybe I try to get the local dyno shop/zetec specialist to run a morning session for us? -Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparecr Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I plan on making to Carlisle no matter. I have been talking with them and we will see what can be done. 7s and Lotus have always been ignored there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflow7 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'll be there if I can make it. :7head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I will try to be there, car or no car. If I have the car, it'll probably be with no hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If my car won't be ready in time, I will be looking for an autox car. Anyone have a death wish for their car :bigears: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I going to try to make it. Mazda, you can have a go with my tow car if you like, If you think you can handle 210 Japanese horses. Of course, the center of gravity would be a little higher than you're used to. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Budlite Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I plan on being there.

locost7018 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 That's my daughter's High School graduation weekend. Choices, choices, choices.............................! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Worth considering. One of THE automotive "happenings" every year. It's just a long day trip from Cincy, so it's feasible. Doesn't it ALWAYS rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Worth considering. One of THE automotive "happenings" every year. It's just a long day trip from Cincy, so it's feasible. Doesn't it ALWAYS rain? I've been to a couple of them lately when it was nice. The Corvettes at Carlisle was a disaster last year. They had a small tornado touch down. about 50 cars damaged (some heavily), several people sent to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1 Seven Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Bummer. Thie Carlisle event conflicts with the date for the Southeast get together at VIR. Normally the event is the first weekend in May, but this year they had to move it to suit the track schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Jeff- That's too bad. I had wanted to see you on track again. But I think we could still support two events. Carlisle is much closer for the people in the NE region. It's guys like Mazda, Steve, Mike, and Scott who would be split between the two choices. -Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just checked flights from Seattle. Only $340 round trip. Hmmm... -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 To Harrisburg? Wow. Even if it was to Philly or Newark, I'm sure we could find you a ride to Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yep, Harrisburg. Lot's of options as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well, the club officers had a call yesterday to discuss a few things, including USA7s at the Carlisle show. We will have a tent on the general show field, near or adjacent the Lotus section. We'd like to keep the tent Se7ens-only (see club name), but welcome our Lotus friends to park nearby. The club is picking up the cost of the tent. One or more officers of the club will be at the tent on Saturday from 9 to 4, other days and times by chance. Saturday is the prime day at Carlisle, with Friday and Sunday attendance very light. We are trying to get a grill set up at the tent so we can just cook lunch for ourselves...simple stuff like burgers and hot dogs. There might be a minor donation taken to offset food costs.... We're planning on having some club stickers and/or literature available. No sales are allowed on the show field, so we'll just give people instructions on how to join the club online. We discussed a short group drive in the early evening, culminating in a group dinner. This will allow people not staying overnight to maximize chat & blat time. Please chime in here if you are up for it. Additionally, we suggest you preregister your car at the site posted below. If you do so before April 28, you'll save $10. There is also an option for people who need to rent trailer parking. Please note "USA7s" in the "Club" field, so we/they can track things. Carlisle Show Online Registration See you soon!

southwind25 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yes we will be there for sure, unless something breaks along the way. the evening drive sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Helpful email response I received from the organizers: " Even if you're pre-registered for the event, you still need to check in at Show Field Regiatration when you first arrive. Show Field Registration is located in the lot just OUTSIDE of Gate 3. That is where you will receive your goody bag, etc and get your decal for your windshield. That decal is what gets you, the car and a passenger into the show for the weekend (children 12 and under are always free). After you have your sticker you can just drive right in each day. That sticker will also give you 24-hour access to the show field. So if you get your sticker on Friday then you'll be able to drive right in on Saturday and Sunday morning - you could drive in at 6am if you wish. And I can just about guarantee that if you arrive at 6am there won't be any wait at all. With that being said, Show Field Registration opens at 7am on Friday and Saturday (8am on Sunday). You cannot enter the show grounds with your car until you have your sticker so you'll want to time your arrival accordingly on your first day. In other words, you don't want to arrive at 4am on Friday bacause you'll be waiting until 7am for Show Field Registration to open - unless you want to sleep in your car for 3 hours " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
