[venom]

We stay in Mechanicsburg. Its about 10 minutes away. Lots of restaurants there.

My car is all torn apart with lots to get done.

[jaa55]

[jaa55]

hell im the one that started this thread and I havent even booked my room I need to get on that.

[Martin0660]

It's about time for me to go again this year ... It fits with the rest of my plans, need to lock in soon. Does anyone know a hotel with really good trailer parking? Most of the convent ones are pretty tight and if I go it would be to drag race Friday night.

[venom]

We should try to have a SCS dinner out there one night.

[silvernotch]

booked my rooms when we left last year. start the count down!

[95V6]

Every year I say I want to go and it never happens.

[cwh19]

Are you staying at the same place? I believe I stayed in the same hotel as you.

I have gone the last 4 years and will be going again.

id be in for that.
We really need to sign up as a club when we register.

[silvernotch]

We stay at the econo lodge. Mr. Bandi loves us. Some guys from another site stayed there and the manager was'nt too thrilled with the mini bike flying around the lot,and them trying to repave his lot two strips at a time. Corralcoupe stays there too its close to the go cart track and food. Did I mention we have a beer or two there.

[yeahloh95]

i'll be at the residence inn

[coralcoupe1993]

Will be there. Im sure in something from the 60s but...

It has been awesome every year. Last year was a bit much with the Turbo Mustang doing a burnout right infront of a lady with a wheel chair, brigs&strattion mini bike and all that stuff. A few people are not going back from the ghetto crap last year. But I will be there!

[jaa55]

i'll be at the residence inn


me too:yes:

[yeahloh95]

cool we have a great time there hanging out after the show

[jaa55]

nice, Im definitely a parking lot guy

[XCHAMP]

Looks like I can just do one day!! Do they do the judging on Saturdays??

[coralcoupe1993]

Yup, thats the day.

[coralcoupe1993]

Well if that is what you call it.... just people picking which car they like. My 64 always gets one because most 64 Galaxies are black or red, mine sticks out as teal and 5 speed big block.


Last year I was too lazy to take it so I took my Superduty. That even walked away 2nd place in 99+ Superdutys. Mainly because there were girls wiping it down.

[Erics89GT]

im goin wont miss it.....ill stay anywhere

[95V6]

I might try to go for one day. Ill just sleep in the Mustang if I don't feel like driving home. lol

True street car? hmm.. sounds like race car stuff :sticktonge:

[venom]

Bump. About 16 more weeks.

[jaa55]

[95riosnake]

I'm sitting out Carlisle this year, focusing on finally going to mustang week.

[jaa55]

i may still do that if I can pull it off too

[cLockWise]

I wanted to goto Mustang Week last year, but ended up not going and went the week after lol. I'd like to hit up the American Muscle one sometime.

P.S.. I love you car, and the SVO side exhaust = love!

Thanks man, I appreciate it :awsome:

[Terminated]

I definitely want to go. Will bring a tent and a case or 3 of beer.

[Monkeygrits]

I'm bringing my Mach 1 up on Saturday and my dad's gonna bring his GT/CS. We will probably on stay for the day though.

[cLockWise]

I think I'm going to try and make it this year. Stay for the day and head home, doubt I'll stay overnight, unless the funds are there for me!

[89stang]

When is mustang week?

[cLockWise]

Myrtle Beach Mustang Week is July 15th - 21st this year.

[garbill2003]

I've never been to it sounds like fun

[cLockWise]

I've never been to it sounds like fun

I haven't been there either, and I really had my heart set on it last year, but I had someone back out so I didn't wanna go down just myself. So I chose to go the week after with my girlfriend without the mustang and just enjoy a vacation together lol. Sadly, she wanted to goto Mustang Week with me, so she would have went if she could of gotten off work!

Have fun man! I'm going to the OBX this year! So i'll be missing out again this year. Maybe I'll make it a point to go next year. Saving up enough money to go on multiple vacations gets tough haha

Yep in meets and events:twothumbsup:

Yep in meets and events:twothumbsup:

Sweet deal I need to check it out. My girlfriend likes going to meets and wants me to "be more active" in them this year since we didn't goto any last year together. She enjoys checking out cars and going for rides, so I need to keep up a better pace. I didn't frequent this site much last year, so that might be why I missed a lot of stuff. That and a really crappy work schedule didn't help me either. Everytime there was a meet, I worked haha.

[Snakecharmer383]

I went last year and enjoyed it. I told myself that I wouldn't bring the car again unless Steve Saleen was going to be there. Of course I just found out he will be there and I can't attend due to vacation plans. My luck!!

[venom]

6 week mark

[silvernotch]

you and eric driving or towing??

[venom]

you and eric driving or towing??

tentatively driving!

[venom]

Just noticed that the last day to pre-register is May 6th. 10% off if you register now.

[venom]

Last day to pre-register.

"Pre-register before May 6, 2013 to get your window sticker early and drive right in when you get to the gate!

When you pre-register, you save time AND you save money. Everyone could use a little more of both and Carlisle Events wants to help!

Beat the May 6, 2013 deadline and we will mail your window sticker to your address of record via USPS. The sticker will go out weeks in advance of the event. When you get to the show, enjoy the VIP treatment of driving straight to Gate 3. No matter how long the lines of people are at the showfield registration area, you won’t need to stop there. Rather, once you drive through the main gate, you will be guided straight to the designated parking area."

[vitaleffects626]

This sat Is d day if it runs without major problems I'm driving if it dose have a problem I'm burning it to the ground

[venom]

Did we get a tent and is everyone from Steel city stangs parking together? If so save me 2 spots Saturday. We will be there early. I haven't registered yet but I'm assuming we are putting steel city as the group?

[venom]

I'm not sure how much cleaning I'll do. It always seems to rain heading out there.

[XCHAMP]

Im planning on just coming down for the day on Saturday. Where do I go (which gate) to register for the show?? Is everyone parking in the same area? Should be two of us coming if there is room for us.

[venom]

Last weekend to fix any issues!

I cannot figure out my hot start issue right now.

[jaa55]

My issue is I still need to polish wheels

[Monkeygrits]

I asked this as well. No one seems to know so I guess I be parking with the Mach 1's. The Mach 1 registry folks seem nice but I'd rather park with you guys.

[garbill2003]

Iam going Saturday also I will get lost belive me

It always seems like Saturday is a free-for-all. Cars are going to just park wherever they can find a spot.

Event directory has a map in it.

It better be. I'm leaving for Carlisle tomorrow morning at 5 am. Looks like shit here. I'm gonna hit a car wash when I get there because the hose line will be insane.

[jaa55]

It's just sprinkling now

[venom]

Annoying rain day up here. Fairly good crowd even with the rain.

See you all tomorrow!

[XCHAMP]

Snakecharmer: No I havent, just read about in Mags. Sounds like over 1000 mustangs show up! I def. plan on going, especially with missing carlise this year. U going to the one in Windber on Farthers day?

[Monkeygrits]

I should be going to Winber too Champ. One of the best local cruises by far.

[venom]

So we are checking out this Saleen SA-10, and Eric is waiting to see under the hood. Well the dude pops the hood, Eric starts peeking, and this guy sorta edges Eric outta the way...the guy being Steve Saleen!

Pretty cool to see him just walking around chatting with people.

[jaa55]

I met his wife, she celebrity picked a friends 70 boss 302 while we were standing there. The friend who owns it bought my mod fox
