Has any one got conformation about being in Building T yet?
-
looks like the gentleman with the red blown pinto is in,hoping to hear from Carlisle soon about the '72.
-
Yes, that is correct.
I have been invited to display my blown 1972 Pinto in building T. I have not been informed as to whom else, Pinto or other Fords, will also be in Building T. Sure do hope there are more Pintos in there along with mine.

I'd give just about anything to go to this event, but it isn't in the works for me.
Reading this: http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/ce/events/ford-nationals/
makes it even harder to not be going. Lots to see & do ! Hope tons of pictures are taken & shown here (or mailed to me ;D )
-
Walsh and I were both invited to park our historic road racers in building T.
-
COOL.
I have no idea what other cars are going to be in building T. I assume there will be other Fords and various models and makes. This will be my first time attending with a show car. I have attended as a visitor and walked the hills of Carlisle many times. I just hope for good weather because the blower does not operate well in the rain. Not enough octane in the water.

I have been there at least a dozen times. In fact, I chaired the 40th Cougar Anniversary a few years ago. I'm really looking forward to ONLY attending as a participant this year ;)
-
Ok now I have a delemma! I have been invited to be in Builld "T". Its a real honor,I would get my pic in the program, but then I could not be in the parade Saturday night.I need to decide soon.
-
Walsh and I got our confirmations as well. We'll be in building T.
-
Just got the Email from Carlisle....Th e '72 is in the T building YAHOOOO!
-
Woo hoo!! :drunk:
-
Congrats to all the Pinto's who made it into the T building. Time is flying by, soon the day will be upon us. ;D

I just talked to Rick and asked him if I could be in Building T and still be in the Saturday night parade. He said no. The cars have to stay in the building all weekend.I told him id let him know tomorrow.I am leaning towards not being in the building , and being in the parade.
-
that is a tough decision
i am sure someone would let you ride in the parade with them
and being in building t is an honor this may be your only time being there and you willl be part of the stampeed on the way there
if you need a ride anywhere while there i can help with that as i have the bobcat an a van there. in the end it is your decision i am just trying to give you a different look at it.
see you there soon.
-
i emailed rick to regretfully decline my invation .its an honor but i feel i would miss out on to much fun stuff not having my car to drive for the weekend
-
Flash,
Sorry to see that you declined,but this is a special meet so I understand why you want to be in the parade. Hoping to see you you soon to put a face with the name.

Dave,
I totaly understand, hey but you were given the honor so that puts in you the "T" building even though you had to opt out. I know what you meen though, in another post I was asked to go to the track on Friday, I am goign to back out on that after this post. I was in my shed getting my helmet and racing slicks and thought "what am I nuts? I am going to have so much to watch over with the raffle, my kids, the excutive luncheon, etc. I will have so many things going on I can't walk away for a minute. And then what if I break the car, no parade." S I won't make it to the track, as much as I wanted to go. Next year for sure!
-
Change of plans..I will be in Building T afterall !! I just talked to Rick. He really really really wants my car in the building.So much so he has agreed to let me pull it out for the parade on Saturday night!I will still have to find a ride to the airport Friday to pick up my wife at 4 , and Sunday at noon to drop her off. Cant wait!!!
-
what airport?
-
Harrisburg
-
Dave,
You must be blessed,that's unheard of to pull the car out during the show. Great score!!!
-
I am sure that we can talk our "none Pinto" support vehicle (Larry and Louise") to give you a ride so no worries. First the world famous Racing Roundup Show and now building "T"
-
My wife is flying out mainy for the Saturday parade and party. There was no way I was missing the parade.Like I said Rick wanted my car in the building,I wanted to be in the parade, so this way we both get what we wanted! Mark looking forward to the Racing Roundup Show. I also talked to Louise and she can get me a ride to/from the airport.
-
My plans are set. I'll be dropping the vintage racer off on Thursday and will be coming back Saturday morning, staying until Sunday afternoon. Brian Walsh's dad (yes, JERRY RACER WALSH) will be bringing their car up on Thursday and Brian will be coming in Saturday morning as well.
Look forward to meeting some of you folks.

Was supposed to take the Pinto to a local car show today but instead we worked on the motor home and trailer getting ready for the trip to Carlisle starting on Wednesday. I still have a few more small details to do on the car but for the most part it is as ready as can be. I only have an open trailer so I have fashioned a tarp type cover for the motor in an attempt to keep any rain out of the intake and away from most of the shiny parts.
Looking forward to seeing lots more Pintos and making new friends. See you there.
