Yes, Sir! I fixed it. I separated you guys because it was easier to enter both sets of phone number into the data base. But I have all three of you set to go!
Sounds like a good band name; Crosby, Jack, Russ, & Sean

Awwwww..........
Lane’s car looks like a little Matchbox Car!
That’s, What.......... 2” long? Cute!
I thought that special filter/effect made it look tiny too!
Carlisle and hotel all set up. So count me in. Babs says she is willing to try it this year. So that ups the ante for the Big Dinner, right? Looks like we will be trying out the new tow bar lash up.
Cute Valentine's Day pic of Lane's car will need some editing -- does not look that way now 
Nope nope nope! Leave it the way it is. That’s how you should think of it.
I'm in again.
Thanks Jeni and Cory for setting up a great looking weekend.

I'll just pop these up, here.......
The tent, over the years, and the "Early Dude" (2004).
Yup, that's me installing Lane's now scrunched headlights....
The Ubiquitous "Max"!
Ummmmm....... "Captain ummm... Beero!"
2010: "The Dude" in his shorts...
And who can forget Danny P's "Whiplash".... (It's a long story.)
No, not Parrotheads......Pineapple Heads!
You all wish you had one of these. Well, maybe not Danny, but he'll want one, too.
I'm seeing a trend, here..... But, THERE'S THE DUDE!!!!"
Then, the "Good Times" caught on.....
Paul Mossberg, MUSBJIM and Peter Venuti.
"The Dude's" portable garage and fix-it shop.
MUSBJIM, Birdwatching........ (It's a West Coast thing.)
I've had a long day gettin here. DON'T mess wit me.
"The Early Bird gets the Table". We all caught up right after this.

But that depends on the "wife" doesn't it? I wouldn't dream of going without my Michelle, she adds awesome to Carlisle weekend!

Speaking as a wife, I have a ball every time! I love our little, silver tub and the people whom we have met at Carlisle are like family to us. Cory calls the Carlisle weekend our version of Disney.
If your wife is a “car guy” she will love it. If she enjoys hanging out with really awesome, friendly people she will love it. If she enjoys riding in tiny cars she will love it.
If not, welll .... there is always someone looking to fill an empty right seat.

There's a happy Wife. Just did about 6,000 miles from Cali up and around Route 66 and more thru the USA to get to Carlisle in 2012. Picture taken by the legendary Jack Crosby in front of a ( why not, eh ? ) for sale sign somewhere near Carlisle. Hope to be there again this year.

Well I was thinking about @Jack Crosby and others like @David Stroud IM Roadster D when I heard this song.... so here goes the song ... Also wondering about Carlisle and @Rich Drewek 's T-Shirts ?
Rich is currently in Thailand, on nicotine de-tox. Have heard zero about T-shirts so far, not that I need another T-shirt. But hey, you gotta have a Carlisle '18 T-shirt. Anybody?? . . .

Kelly,
Rich has volunteered to do the shirts again. We will have more information on that when he gets back.
10% off the Gate-N-Go is available until April 16th!
Low Car Limbo will take place again on Saturday, May 19th.
Last year’s winners were a Speedsters Meet Spyders sweep! Stephen D Clark and Darcie Clark in their beautiful Spyder finished first, Mike Fincher was second and Ed Ericson was third in his MG.
Special thanks to Maddie Mullis who threw herself into the “added weight” role.
