I thought he was heading up the group because he got the club banner from me so he could have a Mini-meet there. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sent me a message this morning. Frank we'll be scattered all over the place we all have our favorite spots to try and get, sometimes we can and sometimes we cant. I always try to get by the building looking at chevy court stage. Hopefully you can find us in the sea of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I really want to make it one year. The problem is cash at the time. I have to give up Carlisle to get up there and plan on it in advance so i am not caught short like i am this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Oh yea I understand that's why I dont do Carlisle every year. This show even though its 15 minutes from my house still ends costing around 500 bucks with everything but worth every penny. In 20 years I've never missed this show even before I had my car.

willie Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Thats the problem also. I wish it was only 15 min away. Its from what the guys tell me 8+hours away. Carlisle is 4+hours. Still can be done just have to plan for it. I will get there eventually. LOL How i wish it was only 15 min away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny first gen 71 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Maybe next year we can put together another mini meet. I talked to them about a meet a few years ago but they cant guarantee us all parking together, there is no reserved parking we would all have to arrive together and stay together until parked which is nearly impossible at the show the way they bring the cars in to the show. I may talk to them again with the new layout it may be doable. Hotel and restaurant probably wouldn't be a problem. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, do they allow you to save your spot overnight with a chair or canopy or do you just park where you find a new spot each day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 You can leave your car overnight but as far as a chair or canopy I wouldn't. We did 2 years ago left the canopy frame wire tied to a pole and no one bothered it but they also discouraged use of canopy especially in certain areas but not where we were. I dont really want to say it's a free for all but there is absolutely no reserved parking. Most times we'll take a couple cars over friday night after hours and park them so we can get another car in between in the morningwhen we go over, it's nice having 3 cars we can do that. Remember it is a very large show with 8000 cars or so but it's over 300 acres and 500+ campers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorDog72 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 My father and I are trying to go for at least a couple hours. The weather looks like it doesn't want to cooperate. We will probably be in his Torino. My first gen won't be ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Wait,wait, wait. You're not stalking them with not membership cards to get them thinking about joining? I'm looking at the forecast and not liking what I see. Shame I couldn't come up today, ( wooork!) . Did Joe make it from Buffalo? He has a nice ' 72 with a LS6 big block. Gold color ,with 17" Rally' s on it. I'm hoping that the weather isn't bad in the morning, plan on going it's descent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
