Carlisle 2020 !

If we can get through WWII, we can get through this virus.

We'll meet again...

Al & Ed, Thanks for making what must have been an excruciating decision. As you know, Bobbi and I are both down with COVID-19. SUCKS!! Next year will be a great time of reunion. Thanks for all of your efforts planning this years event. Next year will be twice as sweet!

Do we need to notify the Carlisle Registration Department to let them know of our cancellation?

Be safe everyone, and enjoy what remains of summer.

I am not familiar with the particulars regarding early registration, best to call them and inquire as there are some 38 days to the show.

Keep us posted, Al.  I was under the impression that the registration fees were not refundable.

I just spoke to a Carlisle events registration representative, and they offered to move my current 2020 registration forward to the Import Show 2021. Very simple! Anyone that chooses to do this will receive all of the appropriate substantiating paper work for next year's show, including windshield sticker in time for next year's show. No fuss, no muss! Taken care of, nothing more to do.

Hotel reservation already cancelled.

Lane, contact them. Moving the registration forward to next year was the best and simplest option for me, since I plan on attending next year. I believe refunds are still an option. If you prefer  that option, contact them right away. A refund in light of the uncertainty of the COVID 19 would seem very plausible.

I transferred my registration to next year.

Done!  All set for next year.

Again thanking Mr. Merklin for all his extraordinary work and patience this year. A true leader.

What about the T-shirt?

Yes, second on that. You too, Eddie!

Well thank you guys Alan and Ed for the work you guys did on getting the venue and planning it... Maybe we will need a T-shirt from Rich something like 2020 the year of the Carlisle Zzoom meeting . Or the missing meeting

Sorry to hear this, but I was about to bale out anyway.  We have relatives coming to visit in August from NYC and DC. I wasn't as concerned about us because we live out doors and get close to no one, and they are renting across the street ,but crossing 3 states and then getting one of my friends sick is something I can't do in good conscience.

Thanks to all the folks who organized this and we'll see y'all next year.

Yeah, had to be done, but still a sad state of affairs. I'm bummed.

Next year!! Meanwhile, keep it between the lines. 

Did anyone at all go?  If so, got any pictures?

I keep in touch with Andy Burger former speedster owner and now involved with the Manx Buggy's, they had 25 buggy's and he thought the attendance was 1/2 to 2/3rds of the normal.

Any Speedster folks there?

Sad but understood.  We will sorely miss everyone this year but will look forward to seeing some very special friends in 2021.

We are suffering from cabin fever super badly and have just finished a 14 day self-quarantine when the bass player and in our bluegrass and his wife tested positive band tested positive and he and his wife both have been in bed for a week so far.  They said it's like the worst case of flu they ever had plus the tiredness is incredible.  Stupidly at a gig at the track chapel on the 4th he walked in, stuck out his hand and I shook it.  Such a stupid move.  Alice and I never had symptoms but we were worried about it. 

In a few days we are taking a road trip to Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills with another couple  --maybe a one week deal just to get away.  Sturgis will be over but we'll take a side trip just to see the place. 

Hate missing Carlisle but next year for sure.

Wonder if Lane's car will be finished by then?

Missing you folks!----Jack

Miss you back, Jack!  When Heidi and I showed up for our first Carlisle in 2009 ,( in a Camry of all things), you were the first person to shake our hands and welcome us.

I will never forget that.  See ya next year!

Stay safe, Jack. We all look forward to seeing you both next year.

Wistful sigh.

This thread is 2 years old, Alan.

@DannyP, you know @Alan Merklin is gettin' kinda old.

Yeah, I'm guessing naps shouldn't be taken with a computer mouse in hand LOL!

He loves the smell of paint fumes in the morning. Could be that...

Just checking to see who's look'n :~)

Likely story...
