Cool 2012 Carlisle All Ford Nats June 1-3

10 YEARS OF THE ALL FORD NATIONALS, BABY!!!

It's the biggest Explorer party that you've ever been to, as well as the biggest Ford lover car show and swap meet on the East Coast... which is why you should take off work/school for Friday June 1st through Sunday June 3rd! Like we do every year, Friday and Saturday are spent at the show and Sunday is spent four wheeling. This year we'll be staying at the same hotel as usual, the Hilton Homewood Suites in Mechanicsburg (as long as the Mach 1 club can tolerate us for another year ). There are tons of events, from dyno testing to burnout competitions, thousands of rare cars and a huge parts corral. It's Team Shelby's 50th anniversary, too, so at some point we'll have to mosey on over to the Hall of Kings and wish them happy birthday

We typically sign up for the showfield, class 127, SUV under the club name "Serious Explorations". It took me 8 years of nagging to get us our own class, PLEASE don't register in any other one! You can pre-register online and save yourself $10... after April 30th the price jumps up to $50!


Saturday night we stay at the Pine Grove Comfort Inn in Pine Grove, and Sunday we'll be out in the mud and rocks at Rausch Creek in Tremont, Pa. Start putting $$ away now, because this weekend isn't cheap Ask anyone who has ever been, though; they'll tell you it's worth every penny If you have any questions or would like to crash a hotle (<-spelled that way for a reason, ask Monmix!) feel free to PM me.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

We're keeping you and Tara away from the condiments!

Hope to have my ride situation sorted out by then...
