Hi All,
I apologize for not writing sooner – things have been
pretty hectic here… I just started getting the DeSoto ready
yesterday; it hasn’t moved since last C@C, so we’ll see how that
goes.
A few folks have asked me about the Forward Look schedule
for Chryslers at Carlisle. We’ll
be doing the same format as in previous years. Here’s a rundown on
the highlights:
VEHICLE REGISTRATION:
I believe you may still register online at http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CE&Category_Code=AN2
. You may also register at the gates upon entrance. The fee is $45,
which includes admission for one car and two people for the whole event. PLEASE remember to enter “The
Forward Look Network” for your club name.
If you’re just attending the event without a vehicle,
I believe the fee is only $8.
Most of us register for the “Fun Field”, which
is participant (owner) judged. It’s all pretty much ‘peoples’
choice’ type of awards, and there are multiple classes for our
cars. I believe offhand they are:
1955-1956
1957-58-59
1960-64
DeSoto (all)
Chrysler 300 (all)
Golden Fin (1956-57-58 Fury)
Imperial
Survivors
CAMPING:
In the past, camping has been $15 for the weekend, and I
believe the cost has remained the same. You register for camping in the
same building for vehicle registrations. There are very nice on-site
shower facilities. Most of us have camped on “Mount
Exner” – which is our name
for the area around Carlisle’s big
billboard in the middle of the camping area. Here’s a picture of
the area from 2003 (http://www.forwardlook.net/events/Carlisle2003/IM003617.JPG)
THE FORWARD LOOK TENT:
We generally have our club tent on the Fun Field in the
1957-58-59 vehicle area. It should be behind my 1959 DeSoto Seville (Blue &
white). It is a white 10’ by 10’ tent, which will have
multicolored ‘car lot’ pennants around the outside. There is
also a nice “Forward Look” banner that Alumcan had made for
us. We will have coolers and tables available to get out of the sun for a
while. Feel free to bring some snacks or drinks to share while you relax.
It’s a great place to meet and relax with other ForwardLookers you’ve
met online.
Juley has been working all week to make nice little things
for the tent, including stenciling all of the pennants and the like. It
should be a pretty comfy place again. She has also made us a ‘first
aid kit’, of band-aids, aspirins/Tylenol/Advil, sunscreen, mosquito
repellant and more.
“THE BANQUET”
On Saturday, around 5 or 6 PM, we always meet at the Forward
Look tent on the fun field for dinner. I promise to try and get something
other than pizza this year. I’m thinking fried chicken and all the
fixin’s might be nice for a change. As time has been short, we
still haven’t finalized dinner plans, but we always come up with
something nice.
Please feel free to contact me or ask the group if you have
any questions.
See you there!!!
-Dave & Juley
