I just contacted Carlisle events.  The dates for 2011 are confirmed as June 3,4 & 5.  :happy_bday: Usually we drive in and set up on Thursday that would be June 2nd, 2011.

Here's one for you....

For those of us driving, and showing up for a SHOW, shouldn't we be washing our cars before we drive into the fairgrounds??

And if so, what about those of us who have cars that are not exactly "car wash water tight"? Mine leaks like crazy when put through a car wash, so I always wash mine by hand.

To answer both questions.

First we typically show up on Thursday for registration, park and walk around, talk a bit, and then head out to the hotel for the next day.  or you can show up any day if you want (Fri, Sat, Sun)  You can leave your car, or you can take it back to the hotwl with you.  Once the sticker is on your windsheild you can come and go as you please. Judging is on Saturday, awards are on Sunday along with the parade.

Second, They actually have a car washing station with about 6-8 hose parking spaces. Of course it is first come first serve, so if early you should be fine, if late there will be a line (hey that rhimes)  :lol:

Any questions can be answered at carsatcarlisle .com and you can call them, the number is on the website.

Does anyone have the actual date yet? It's not listed on the Carlisle site for 2011. I just realized that my son graduates from high school in June of 2011 which could totally blow my chances of participating. ...

Joe

I have the exact same problem!  I told my son he would more than likely graduate from something else someday whereas the Pinto only has one 40th birthday, but he insists I be there for his high school graduation anyway! :lol:  My intent is to register and be there for however much of the meet as is possible... I'm lucky in that I'm only about four hours away from Carlisle.  My oldest daughter lives in Mechanicsburg PA so there's even a possibility I could get the Pinto to her, and she could take it to the grounds for the entire event, and I could just join up with everyone when I'm free.  Too soon to know for sure how it's going to work out!
