- Start date
Ok,
Since I will be a Ford National Virgin, what items should I bring with me? Do I or should I bring lawn chairs, cooler, cleaning supplies, do I bring snacks for the NYM tent what else will Saturday entail for me that I might want to bring? Now will I be parked in the YELLOW show field section (the color of the bottom of my car tag is yellow)where the NYM tent will be or because my number is Y157 so if looked up the Y that color is in the green section. So many questions, now I don’t have a NYM T-shirt (I know shame on me) so how will I know to hook up like at the hotel and stuff Friday evening. lol, should I wear a tag with NYM on it? I don't have a problem posting my cell # if that would help. Thanks everyone.

The Westchester group is leaving the Staples parking lot on Tuckahoe Road, Yonkers around 1:00pm. It takes approximately 3 hours and 22 minutes to reach the hotel. We will be stopping at the Vince Lombardi rest area in New Jersey for some cheap gas and a pit stop.
We will continue on the New Jersey Turnpike to I-78W into Pa to 81S towards Harrisburg. We will reach the hotel around 4:45 – 5:00
If anyone would like to meet up with us, please PM me and we will exchange numbers.
Also, let’s try and meet up as a club around 6:00 before the beef and beer to introduce ourselves.
Remember to bring your E-ZPASS

I am leaving with a group of guys early saturday morning, around 5am from queens/brooklyn. we plan on driving for about 3 hours and then stopping off to get some breakfast and get to the show for 9am. if anyone else needs a group to drive down with please PM me or let me know here. not exactly sure where we are meeting just yet but i think bay parkway by the shopping center over there.
God I am huge pessimist trust me but I am so torn. I hear you guys about the rain but I want to believe it wont be a washout. The hourly forecasts show that by mid morning Friday it gets spotty with just isolated storms. But I know what that means, it could be sunny and fine or raining all day in between. Not sure what to do, I dont mind it raining once I am there and parked but driving in it sucks ass...
"By tomorrow morning, the aforementioned storm to our west should arrive in the Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys. As a result, rain is forecast to develop very late tonight or early tomorrow morning…just in time for the morning commute. Indications are that rain will fall much, if not all, of the day tomorrow and possibly heavy at times.
Thereafter, the weather becomes less certain.
By Friday morning, recent meteorological guidance suggests that the steady rain may be east of Central New York, or the rain associated with the storm moving in from the west. However, we then need to turn to the south and the tropical low over the Gulf of Mexico. Exactly how that behaves and moves will determine how much additional rain we receive after the first or initial period of rain Thursday.
As of now, keeping in mind this will likely change at least a little, indications are that after a possible morning lull or break in the rain, Central New York will see more rain developing sometime Friday afternoon. Rain is likely to continue into Friday night and Saturday. It should be noted that if the tropical low travels farther east, then Central New York will likely see less rain, however, a track farther west would me a greater chance for heavy rain later Friday into Saturday.
Some piece of good news is that we think everything should move steadily enough so that steady rain ends in time for Sunday with even some possible. While the steady rain may be over with Sunday, we’ll still need to keep the threat for scattered showers in the forecast. Looking ahead to early next week, long range data continues to point to yet another weather system bring more rain to the region Monday and Tuesday."

Rain or shine - I'll be there!
The first year a group of us went to Carlisle it was raining so bad it was coming down sideways . We still had a great time at the hotel and the next day at the showfield. The second year, it rained on Saturday, but since we have the NYM tent, we all hung out there (next to Gregg's car) and had a blast. When the rain stopped, the event continued.
The weather shouldn't deter anyone from coming to Carlisle. So what if you car gets a rain on it. It will be fine. I know some of us have tires that do not fair well in the rain - then you just drive slow. (Just a suggestion)
The Lower Westchester group is still leaving on Friday afternoon and is looking to have an awesome time!
