McDuff Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Rich explained to me in a PM that the new owners of the house agreed to still have the party there. That sure is nice of them. It appears from the picture that there is a good crowd that shows up. I am really looking forward to meeting some of the forum members and catching back up with ones that I met in Pa.

scott mc Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hello everyone, My son and i are thinking about driving out to Carlisle do you need advance passes to get in or can you buy them at the gate? This would be my first time. I hope to see some of the forum members at the booth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be my first time. I hope to see some of the forum members at the booth! Â You buy them at Gate 3. BUT, if you're coming on Friday or Saturday get there EARLY! The gate opens at 7a.m., but you might want to be there and in line earlier than that. Or wait till around 2, and things tend to start opening up a bit. First time? Wear COMFORTABLE shoes (acres of walking) and be sure to wear a hat because there is very little shade there. Â As for the roads, my son says they're working on the Carlisle turnpike exits. He isn't aware of any other construction. If you're driving in from the west, get off at Blue Mountain exit and take the back way in to avoid the mess at the Carlisle exit (it's bad for Vettes even when there's no construction).

Would it be too late to find a hotel room? http://www.corvettesatcarlisle.com/ce/events/corvettes/ Â It'd be difficult to find a hotel room in Carlisle itself by now, but there's plenty of places in nearby Harrisburg that should have vacancies. I think the Days Inn that I always stay in should have some rooms left. Â http://www.daysinnharrisburg.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sorry to sound stupid, but what exactly is this show? Would it be too late to find a hotel room? Â Not stupid at all. http://www.carlisleevents.com/ce/events/corvettes/ Â It's the biggest Corvette show in the east. Three days of nothing but Corvettes. And no, it's not too late to get a hotel. Try www.choicehotels.com , or www.super8.com , or any of the hotel search engines. I had to rebook tonight because they closed the hotel I was to stay in. I had no problem. Got a room in Mechanicsburg which is only 10 miles away. Â Any more questions...........ask away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I tried the Super 8 but the only rooms still available were smoking rooms for my buddy and I. I ended up getting a room at the Quality Inn in Chambersburg and it didn't cost as much as a lot of the other ones that I looked at. You should still be able to book a room. There seems to be a lot around Chambersburg. Hey AJ you need to do a private session for us forum folks on Saturday morning. There should be a bunch of us and I am always wanting to learn more from the experts. What do you say guys a special session with AJ and ADAM isn't too much to ask for us loyal customers and fans????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
