Update from Carlisle Events!

[7E-Bodies]

Scary thought that I hope doesn't materialize, but can you imagine being told to wear a face diaper (aka mask) in 100 degrees at 90% humidity?  Man, I had so looked forward to this.

That's good, looks like they're gearing to run the show!

I just remember 2013. It was 98* on Friday, and 102* on Saturday. Oh yeah, the air conditioning in my Hotel room didn't work either. I complained, and they sent someone up Saturday while I was at the show. It wasn't any better.  In the end, I could have saved some money, and been cooler sleeping out on the grass that weekend.

To your point though, I wouldn't be surprised if face masks were required. We live in a different world now.

[Rich G.]

Maybe it's just me but we're outside not in a closed room on top of each other so if we use some common sense I don't see the problem. Keep a mask in your pocket and if the situation arises where you feel it necessary put it on. I'm ready to get out or go crazy!

Only 10 days away from Spring Carlisle, and still no announcement so I guess it's a go    This will be there test for the future shows I reckon

@anlauto so you won't have any issues at the border?

@anlauto so you won't have any issues at the border?

He'll have no issues at the border because he will be at home.....Border is closed until at least the 21st of June

@anlauto so you won't have any issues at the border?

Yea..I was never planning to attend Spring Carlisle, but I have been watching for an announcement regarding it, because as I said, it will likely be the "test" for all the shows coming this Summer....

Our borders are locked up until June 21st as dodi says, and that might get extended so who knows...And if we would be mandated to a 14 day isolation upon returning from the US, that wouldn't be good either...

The governor had a press briefing two days ago and is still holding all counties in the green{which still isn't cumberland county until the end of this week supposedly} to a limit of 250 people..Unless of course, you all want to come and "protest" the show...Which seems to be okay for ignoring the social distancing  all over the country at the moment..
  Keep in mind Carlisle Events is a business..They're doing it to make money...And that's the bottom line..I wouldn't expect them to "do the right thing" by anyone so I don't know how some of you are spinning the theories on how this should play out..They've already collected the money ahead of time for these shows and will try to keep it in the bank as long as they can before it has to be returned...And there's no way out of a monetary return when there's no show unless you agree to giving them another year of interest off your money..The easy way out is to keep flipping the show dates...Unless they make a winter mopar meet and we all put the snow tires on and crank the heat to stay warm..
I'm not trying to  I'm just being realistic...I'm ready to get out there and walk the aisles for any of these events but lets face it between the governor's orders and the reality of no way to come up with a plan anyone would accept for social distancing without wiping out the show,I'm not seeing any of them happening at this point..

[anlauto]

I can see them holding out from a financial point of view like you mentioned.....but come on.....a heck of a lot of much larger money making events have been cancelled months in advance...around here it's every parade or Summer festival, or how about sporting events ?

A lot less stress full to just throw in the towel for 2020 ask for some Government cash and take a year off...  that's probably the best "thing to do" at this point.

I'm still trying to be optimistic, and haven't even cancelled my hotel reservation yet but it is going to be a close call whether it happens next month or not,  maybe 50/50 at this point.

They haven't canceled the spring swap meet yet and that's less then 2 weeks away. I guess that will be the test of some sort if they have it or not. I can't see it being that big considering it's been getting smaller every year but I just want to get out and do something.

I fully expect if the border does loosen up there will be a 14 quarantine on both sides. However, I have heard that nobody is monitoring that on the US side.

Some of the dirt tracks in the area are having their events with spectators in the stands..I guess they don't care about the mandates...And on the flip side I guess the attendees aren't concerned as well and just want to get out..I'm wondering if Carlisle Productions will take the same approach and say the heck with the mandates we want the money...
  If it happens I'm with you Rich I'm ready to walk the show and see how this will play out just to see if people will be responsible and respective of others...If it's not safe I'll simply leave..I'm wondering just how many will show up even if it's a go...I'm betting older people{not that I'm a spring chicken} won't even consider risking their health or life and wait another year for the vaccine to come into play..

I've been going to Carlisle for years and have dreamt about how one day I'll be able to actually get my car done and show it.  Would be awesome to have it ready for the 50th anniversary of the e body.  I've been putting in a lot of time during this lockdown to try and get 'er done in time for Carlisle.  It's gonna be down to the wire.  Even if I get it done "in time", I need some time to work out the bugs once I finally get it on the road.   It's a 3 hour drive.  Car has to make the trip.  Do they let people register last minute?
