Update from Carlisle Events!

[anlauto]

First off...I would like to think that things will continue to get better and restrictions may be lifted the closer we get to the event


....and this is just MY OPINION.....but I would think seminars could still be a go. The ones I've attended over the years got only maybe 20-30 guests crammed into a hot sticky tent in the show field. If they space out the chairs by 6 feet, they will need a larger tent with a better sound system I would think, but that could easily be done  or maybe more seminars allowing less people at a time to attend. I think with the overall attendance way down, the amount of people wanting to attend a seminar will be manageable

You should contact the other people on your Hemi panel and see their thought on attending.

Reading over the Covid 19 fact sheet, in my opinion, it opens up more questions than answers.  I understand that things will be changing daily up to the show date and most probably during the show itself.  That is one reason that many of the shows and festivals have decided to cancel their events entirely. 

We have been attending and vending at Carlisle Events since 1992.  In years past, the event magazine and directory has been posted on line by this time I believe for the Chrysler show.  The event schedule would be posted with locations for feature displays, seminar times, etc.  I just looked and did not see it listed on the Carlisle site.  Does anyone know of anyone that has a car scheduled for Building T or Y?  Usually a confirmation has been sent out to those selected owners notifying them of the selection by this time.

Reading the fact sheet, it states that high traffic buildings will have one way foot traffic and marked entrance and exit locations.  Social distancing to be encouraged.  All that it takes is one state health inspector to visit the operation and shut it down.  The same with the seminars.  In the past, they have set up tents with chairs so that people could attend them.  Are they going to spread out the chairs every 6 feet apart?  How do they even attempt to offer autograph sessions?  The sheet already states that grandstand activities will be limited or eliminated.  I cannot imagine that Chrysler would put itself into the liabilities of offering a ride along as in the years past.

Thankfully, the "Spring Meet" is scheduled to start on June 17th and the Chevrolet Show is June 26th-27th.  This will help Carlisle Events to get things worked out.  At the same time, it will provide us a good indication of how attendance is and what guidelines are required and enforced for the event to be held.  By this time next week, the Spring Meet will be over with and I feel that we can have a much better ideal on what to expect.

Yep, good idea.

I reached back out to Ed B. He has always been very helpful

In the past they did list what seminars they were having. I don't see that listed on the website this year. You might want to give them a call if that's your main thing.

That really sucks!

That really sucks!

I think it's the right decision, we have less than a 100K reported cases total, and you guys have over 2.1 million    or 118K deaths compared to our 8K deaths.....no need to spread it across the borders

I also think we are looking at places like New Zealand and more domestically places like Price Edward Island, Newfoundland etc... Where they have no cases because of their ability to close their borders. Those places are fully opening. I know Canada is 2/3 of a continent and not an island but we are seeing this closed border strategy working. With no other options really, I rather be doing border closures then the alternative of nothing. I think Hawaii is taking this same approach too? I am not too sure.

I am really going to miss Carlisle and most other car shows near me have been cancelled. Cars are a hobby and a break from the day to day.

It should be 250 people per some standard area.  Except the men's room by the food court, where else are there 250 people "gathered" at one time inside Carlisle?
