I remember the canopy issue last year. The owners were immediately apologizing and a guy who's car was hit was
Very rude towards ppl already willing to help make things right.
Sadly, I think both parties were to blame. One canopy got air born hit a second canopy and not sure which one hit the guy's car. Bit clearly neither party secured their canopies.

 

I can understand the wind gusts launching a canopy, see it quite a bit at the swap meet here. You almost need two full 5 gallon buckets anchored to each corner and a razor knife handy to slash the material if it starts to get away from you...

Keane make sure you label yours "Property of the GTP Club" and keep on walking if we lose it...

Also received my Carlisle event paperwork. No pass, just something to show at the gate I guess.

 

You'll need to stop at the building to pick up your window sticker.

It's a painless process

 

I am currently with my wife in Carlisle for the ford nationals. I think I found a neat spot to add to the places to do a photoshoot. A shut down gas station that still has the pumps in place. It is on rt11 between the show field and Howard Johnson/quality inn.

Down side, I just saw it in the pic I attached. A couple of no trespassing signs

But i think there r various shutdown buildings on rt11 that would be neat. Also don't forget a shoot at the show field

 

Doing a caravan of cars with the NYMCC ( New York Monte Carlo Club ) on Friday heading to the Quality Inn in Carlisle PA.
Anyone else on this Forum involved.
I know Jen Red Nightmare is going so far anyone else?

 

HOTEL UPDATE: My wife and I got home today from showing her Mustang at the Ford Nationals.
We stayed at the Carlisle Howard Johnsons this time. We were rather disappointed. It's no where near what the pics online look like (sure, I saw the dining and party rooms, but they don't look like that anymore, heck the dining area is reduced to a couple of tables instead of the many booths shown in the pic, the booths are all pushed to the back of the room). Far from the cleanest place I've seen. No waffle mix for the waffle iron, but they had syrup. And the biggest oddity, if I sat on the toilet in our bathroom, I could rest my head on the vanity at the same time.
Just re-booked with Days Inn South and canceled the HoJo for the GM Nationals. Hopefully a far better experience.

I also know Chibi has done the same based on my experience with HoJo.

 

LOL, cool you were our advance party scout. HOJO's used to be pretty decent so I can understans why everyone thought it was a no brainer to stay there. Sad, they pull in decent money every night, they should reinvest it in remodeling and then could charge even more. Well Jason, thanks to your wife and you doing the dirty deed for all of us and taking one for the team!

Perhaps they should change it's name to Jo's Ho, the hang over vanity right by the head... That's old school arraingement. Days Inn it is!!

 

I hope everyone has a great time @ Carlisle, can't wait to see the pics. I may try and get out there on Saturday - my Monte.... It's hasn't been doing very good lately......

 

Will be joining the NYMCC crew on Friday as well... unfortunately I'll be coming from the opposite side of the state, so wont be joining the caravan down. I'll be there Friday night.

 

Very good will meet up with the west side guys in PA then.
I know how far west that is I have an Uncle that lives in Lockport, can't get any further from Long Island then Buffalo. LOL
