Hi All,
I’m still trying to catch up from Tulsa,
and scrambling to get our DeSoto and other preparations ready for Carlisle.
Show vehicle registration information is below – click
the applicable link in blue to bring you to the online registration page. Please
remember to enter “The Forward Look
Network” as your club. If we get enough people
registered, our tent will be free next year. Online registration will
probably not be available for much longer, but will be available on-site on the
days of the show. Registration also includes admittance for two for the
whole weekend.
We will be having a tent on the Fun Field again this
year. It’s a great hangout and relaxation place after walking the
swap meet or show field. As usual, we will have refreshments, snacks, and
first aid supplies like sunscreen. (It always helps if folks bring
folding chairs though!) We have also invited the Golden Fin Society and
Plymouth Central folks to share our tent, as we all have common interests.
Look for the big Forward Look banner and the “Flookerang Pennants”
ringing the tent.
We will have the very popular Forward Look
“mini-buttons” free on one of the tables. Feel free to stop
in first and put on a button – you never know who’ll you’ll
meet out there on the fields, and the buttons help us pick each other out in
the crowds. I am also hoping to have some T-Shirts available at the tent,
but they will be in limited supply and only in one design. All designs of
the T-Shirts are always available online at http://www.forwardlook.net/sitestore/gifts
. Clay Wood has graciously donated his famous T-Shirt designs for use in
our store – look for them soon – they are absolutely FINtastic!!!!
In addition to the Carlisle
events, we will also be having our traditional Forward Look events:
Thursday Evening:
Join up with other ForwardLookers at
the MoPar Rebellion Car Club Car Cruise. Note that it has moved to a new
location this year -- the new Residence Inn., 1164 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle, PA.
More information on this event can be seen at http://www.moparrebellion.com/docs/KOC2007.doc
Friday Evening:
Something of a tradition, many of enjoy
an evening dinner at Hoss’s Steak and Sea House on Carlisle Pike.
Good food, and (my favorite) an all-you-can eat dessert/ice cream bar.
Saturday, 5:30ish:
Please join us for our famous
Forward Look dinner! Dinner, drinks, and a relaxing wrap-up to a busy
day. We generally have around 30 folks from the mailing list and forums
gathering to just relax, have a picnic dinner and talk. It’s always
nice to finally put faces with the names of the folks you have known online for
years. The talk at the tent goes on long into the night, so stop by even
if you can’t make the dinner. Bring your photos!

Planning
for the 2007 edition of the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals is in high gear!
Making his first ever appearance at Carlisle
is "Big Daddy" Don Garlits and with him will be Swamp Rat VIII. Don
will be on hand to sign autographs all three days and he will fire up Swamp
Rat's big Hemi several times throughout the weekend. Don will also join us at
South Mountain Dragway on Friday evening for an additional public appearance.
What
would a Wing Car Reunion be without the car that started it all? That's right,
we've added the 1969 Charger 500 to the Wing Car Reunion. If you have a '69
Charger 500 you can display your ride with the rest of the Aero Cars! If you
own a '69 Charger 500, '69 Charger Daytona or a '70 SuperBird you can register
to be a part of what is shaping up to be the largest gathering ever of these
sleek cars!
We
certainly didn't forget about the Convertible Reunion! If you like your Mopars
topless then this is your year. This is open to all years and makes of Chrysler
products and if the early registrations are any indication then this display
may just blow you away. We have convertibles from Virgil Exner's finned designs
to some of the newest and everything in between. We'll even have a convertible
that Chrysler never built but should have! Hit the TOP LIFT switch and head to Carlisle in July!
If
your favorite Mopars were built before the musclecar era then you'll want to
check out the DeSoto display. Every year we get quite a few DeSotos on the show
field and many of those are from members of the National DeSoto Club. Be here in July to see some
stunning DeSotos or to show off your own.
A
well kept secret is the Kick-Off event on Thursday evening hosted by Mopar Rebellion.
The Kick-Off had been held at the local dealership for seven years but has
outgrown that location and is now moving to the Residence Inn on Route 11 (just
north of the PA Turnpike). This event has been drawing fans every year for the
relaxing atmosphere, good food, ice cream, DJ, door prizes and more. Admission
to the Kick-Off is FREE to all participants and spectators.
There
is plenty more to see and do at the All-Chrysler Nationals. There is drag
racing at South Mountain Dragway, Standard of Mopar Excellence judging, burnout
contest, beauty contest, Club Challenge, Kids at Carlisle, Women's Oasis,
Chrysler concept cars, Dyno Challenge, seminars, Invitational Display buildings
(click here for the form), Test Drives, Rock Crawl
and more.
