Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

What time are you guys planning to roll into the show grounds? We're not going to stay out there this year, we're just going to go out on Saturday, but we would like to meet for breakfast if you're planning on that and roll into the show together.

Yeah, weather looks like a problem, which means all the detailing I did last weekend and leaving the car garaged all week is probably going to be a waste. Oh well, it'll still be a good time and I won't have to worry about sun burn.

Yeah....Sun burn. I was about as pink as Jen's dress in your avatar picture there.

Hopefully you guys all have a good time and the rain will keep a lot of the junky cars away this year.

Thunderstorms on Saturday it says. Slight chance on Fri.

I'm gonna buy a couple extra microfiber towels just in case. If it rains, it rains. It doesn't look like it's supposed to be steady rain all day, just occasional thunderstorms.
Nothing a microfiber towel and some detail spray can't fix.

Showboard mock-up done last night. Girlfriend did a killer job. All that's left is the photo shoot tomorrow and I'm golden.

I'm not worried about a shower coming through while at the show, I just worry about picking up road grime on my way out there Saturday morning. It's about 85 miles, so I'll probably drive through some wet roadway.

If I can just clean and detail, that'll be cool, but I'm not bringing full car wash supplies...

Are you gonna stop by as a spectator or will you be too busy wrenching on your ride?

Yeah it will definitely be messy. There is a cleaning station though. Im sure a lot will be using it.

And I will be more than happy to meet up with you guys after the show lets out. Maybe we can all grab dinner?? Im doing some prep for mothers day Saturday afternoon so that's what Ill be doing until then lollolol. Were doing a massive family mothers day thing so the guys have like 5 or 6 ladies+ everyone else to cook for

i may have to borrow some of that lol

honestly i know my car is just gonna be mess from the drive. 200 mile drive after days of rain isnt gonna be pretty. team that up with bug splats as well. i could easily bring cleaning supplies but no use if i cant find a hose and water. i refuse to hit one of those car washes too lol OCD when it comes to washing and what touches my car

How robust is the cleaning station? How busy it it, typically?

Looks like we will be judged in tent #1 at 3:00 pm.

It's on their website.

Also, I think I located a self-service car wash about 2.5 miles away. I think it's still active but can't confirm - there's no website.

I don't use those awful brushes, either. I take my buckets and supplies to the self-serve bay and use their equipment only for rinsing.
