ATTENTION CAR CLUBS – COMPETE TO SEE WHO IS THE LARGEST
Mopar enthusiasts are some of the most social in the car hobby. With that fun and social enthusiasm, it should come as no surprise that there are many clubs in attendance at the All-Chrysler Nationals. In addition to the competition among the cars, there is a battle between clubs to see who has the most cars registered. As a bonus, we offer the use of a 20’ X 20’ tent to those clubs who register 25 vehicles or more. These tents are a great place to take a break and they make a great club headquarters for the weekend. Larger clubs may be eligible for a bigger tent. Contact us for details.

Here is the hotel information.

http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/ce/visitors/lodging.asp

I know the rooms go fast from what I have been told but if we all want to try to get into the same hotel we would have to book around the same time.

I will call all of them on Monday before work to get prices and will post up the details.

I am going, looking to leave on Thursday the 8th and come back on Monday the 12th.


List of those going/ interested in going:

Charger
AR-15Queen
AlterEqo
Hoodie and Mrs Hoodie

Challenger
Headtripp

300
Spicylahmchops

Magnum
Irishrt5.7 and Deb

u can count me in....Its enough of a notice that I can save some cash!!!

We are planning on going to this. Count us in for 3!!

I've emailed them twice to see if they can move this to Algonquin. No response yet.

Good Luck with that Eric! Just come with us!!

Ha ha ha I just put in my address as the start for directions and got this:

I-80 E/I-90 E
666 mi 10 hours 21 mins

I-70 E
727 mi 11 hours 17 mins

That is a heck of a drive but should be fun in a caravan. I am leaning towards the I-80 route. The 70 goes down to Indy then over.

i'm in...great show last year, lots of chargers...

I-80 is the quickest Rt... When I was still driving cross country I had to del a few times in Carlisle.

Hmmm.. Was thinking about Arkansas for my vacation (Hot Springz) but with learning some of the shit that goes on over there, this might be a better fit.. I'd say I'm tenative right now..

Count Deb and I in for this one... will be lots of fun..

Bump for this. I am looking to book my hotel and stuff by the end of January.

Do they have hotel info posted yet? It would be nice to get rooms near each other.

I have info at home. Had to come into the office early today so will try to post up once I get out of here.

There are like 7 hotels that are official hotels on the site.

So look through them and figure out which one looks cool and we will just go with that one. From the emails I got it seems like they are all pretty much priced the same.

I'm digging the Radisson because of this: Free Parking, Car Wash Area, Restaurant and Bar. Four things donkeys like!

I know its far out but this isn't going to happen for me. If anyone wants to take over planning the hotels and stuff just let me know and I can give you all the info. If not then you guys are on your own!!!!

Let's skip this and go to the 2010 LX & Beyond Nationals (OH) July 17-18. Can you make that one, Crystal?

Nope its not in the cards to travel any place with the car in 2010 more then likely. I am going to be moving into a new place and few other things have come up that I need to save my pennies for. My parents are going to be moving to Egypt for a year or two so I am going to be going back and forth between here and FL a lot this year making sure my brother doesn't burn down their house. But good news if anyone wants to take a road trip to FL I can work something out.


So local shows and that's it for me.

Since this was brought up in another thread tonight, I thought I'd bump it to see if there is some more interest.

Vic and I already have the time off of work so we are a definite.

Of course, the days are already taken at work.

I'm out.
