Is anyone planning on going to Carlisle Pa. in June to the Ford Nationals. I know its a month away but the wife ,son and I are kicking the idea around. Also does anyone have any info on Hotels in the area, I don't mind paying a few more $$ if I know my car is in a secure lot. It a toss up between this and going to see Pinks All Out at the Summit Racetrack in Norwalk Ohio. Norwalk is 45 minutes away,,,Carlisle is about 5 and a half hours...but from what I hear it is so worth making the trip....Let me know

If you've never been to Carlisle before, it's worth the trip.
I went in 1995, 1997-2001, 2005-2007. I think in 2000 and 2001 I did whole the weekend. The rest were day trips. Too much to see for a day trip, but still fun.
In 2000 I believe I stayed in the Harrisburg area, it happened to be the host hotel for the Merkur Club... and I can recall they were out-and-about all night... so the parking lot had people/ traffic. Or at least it sounded like it. Vroom vroom.
In 2001, the hotel was one of the ones located near the Turnpike.
There will be a few SOEC members at Carlisle and some support for them... I also believe Bryan M. (the SCOA PA rep) was speading the word to his/their crew.
Carlisle All-Ford Nationals '08 should be a good time!
Oh... off-topic, but if you have nothing to do on 09/06/2008, come to the MVM Show in Youngstown. Send me a PM for a form if interested.
