Let me check. I do know when you try to take them off the plastic has a tendency to break rendering the base garbage.

Thanks. My bases are bad. I pulled the drivers side off and it only had the one I attached the picture of. And yep, the tab broke immediately upon me putting pressure against it. So only one of the three that are supposed to be there makes me feel like the passenger side is probably similar. Someone did an awful job putting the doors back together after painting the car.

Yay! Thank you! If you could bring them with the harness I’d appreciate it. Also, let me know the price.

Just a note to everyone coming to this meet.... I had emailed everyone an itinerary recently plus you will be receiving a copy of that itinerary in your registration folder.  

I now have a change to that itinerary.  The change is going to be the time we will be leaving the club host hotel on Friday morning to caravan to the show field.  The time change will be to leave the club host hotel at 7:45AM on that Friday.  

I got a message and then talked live with Carlisle Events this morning.  They have asked us to parade in to the show field together again like we did last year.  I did tell them that we will have some members driving cars other than first gen Monte's and I don't feel that will be a problem to join in on the parade onto the show field.  Vehicles other than first gen Monte's would more than likely bring up the rear of the parade line.  

So on Friday, June 20th we will leave the hotel at 7:45 and then form up at the Expo Center like we did last year and at 8:14 they will hold traffic entering the show field and escort our club in all together.  This will be discussed at our Thursday Bench Racing.  Text reminders will also go our either Thursday evening, Friday morning or both.  We think we have almost everyone's cell phone number but just in case, when you check in with the club officers to pick up your registration folder please verify the number we have.

I got an email from Tony D today wanting to know about a Saturday afternoon Monte Carlo Parade.  I told Tony that I knew nothing about us parading on Saturday.  Tony told me it is in the schedule on the Carlisle Events App.  I had never used the Carlisle Events App but I have now loaded it. 

You may want to load the Carlisle Events App on your phone for the most up to date information from Carlisle Events people.

I called my contact in Carlisle and he told me that in honor of the 55th Anniversary of the Monte Carlo they will have all years of Monte Carlo line up and parade past the Grandstand Seating.  This Parade will run from 2:00 to 2:30 on Saturday Afternoon.

You can load the App on your phone, the icon looks like the circled app in the below picture:

When you open the app you can go to the schedule icon which will show an hour-by-hour events schedule.  The schedule icon looks like the below picture:

The below photo shows the Saturday Afternoon Monte Parade.  Once we arrive we will get more details on this.

Also on their schedule you will find the Gas Gauge Seminar we will he hosting at our club canopy on Friday morning as shown in this last photo:

If you are not tech savvy on your smart phone I am sure one of the kids at the meet will be glad to help you out with this.

We can get a group of them at the hotel, that is if we can pry them away from the pool long enough.  

Speaking of pools, I need to dig out my Speedo.

((UPDATED DAY WEDNESDAYJUNE 15TH))

I wanted to update you on our GM National Mini-Meet.  I also wanted to let everyone know that if you have not made your hotel reservations yet, we will lose any remaining rooms in our block on May 30th, that is only 5 days from today.

Today I have added new FGMCC Members of attendees and this has brought our new total to 55 members registered with me to attend. 

Since the hotel has added some more rooms to our block we still have around 5 rooms in our block.  We usually get some members signing up at the last minute so it is good to have this buffer of additional rooms with less than two months until this great mini-meet.  That said, in a little less than a month from now, we will lose any rooms that have not been claimed.

Below is an updated list the members I have heard from who are planning to attend the Carlisle GM Nationals  Mini-Meet.  

With the registration of the below member , we are now at 55 so keep those registrations coming.

Thanks for all who have responded.  It will be here before we know. Who is going be next to move us from our current of 53 count and get us to to  56 members to get registered?  We are doing so well and on our way to maybe hitting 57 members OR or more members with 10 states and one Canadian Province represented so far.  At this point, most of our 40 to 45 rooms have been spoken for.  Get your reservations in because we may not be able to get any rooms added.

For the NEWBIES 🤣 And yes we have all been one . Bring a lawn chair for the show field AND the nightly gathering at the hotel. In the past it's been HOT, bring a cooler with drinks to keep you hydrated. The club provides bottled water on the show grounds. For me, after 3 waters I'm done, I need a gatorade, Mountain Dew to mix it up. If you enjoy an ADULT beverage, plan accordingly. 🤣 If you're NOT bringing your Monte, get with Rob or one of the club officers to maybe catch a ride with one of the members with their Monte. This IS a GREAT group of people, always willing to help out when asked.

Thanks Mark, good suggestions.  I was just about to post a current weather forecast.  so I will tag that onto your suggestions if you don't mind me hijacking your post... :k

Looking at the weather forecast members and their guests may want to bring a light jacket or hoodie for Thursday and Friday evenings in the parking lot with the lows in the low 60's those nights.

Here is the forecast.  I will check again on Tuesday to see how much this will change.  As of now Thursday looks like the only questionable day.

Current Carlisle Weather Forecast

As of tonight, Sunday June 15th the weather forecast for Carlisle is as follows:

Wednesday June 18th.    Temperatures  High 85 and Low  71   AM showers chances36%  Humidity 83%

 Thursday  June 19th   Temperatures   High 86F  and Low 64F   PM thunderstorms chances 43%     Humidity 70%

 Friday June 20th.    Temperatures  High 84 and Low  63   Plentiful Sunshine with rain chances only 9%  Humidity 74%

 Saturday  June 21st   Temperatures   High 92F  and Low 74F   Intervals of clouds and sunshine  with rain chances of 16%     Humidity 71%

Good call on the hoodie/jackets, a lesson I learned last year at Carlisle. 

And another quick downpour this year might re-open Dennis's swimming hole, extra socks/shoes not a bad idea.

Cincinnati.  Wednesday night and Thursday morning possible extreme wind, torrential rains, hail and tornadoes and heading east, northeast ( my travel route) This doesn’t bode well for an open car trailer.

The " freshest " car wash around!!  Dennis, you just be careful maybe drive around it? If you can track direction. I have done this while day tripping on the motorcycle.

I can’t load the trailer with hail and possible tornadoes. It’s not the drive I can stay behind it and when I start to head north it will be going more easterly.
