Carlisle 2013 - All Ford Nationals
- Thread starter Roush23
- Start date
Well, I finally decided to go. My squeeze can't make it though. I'm going down on Wednesday with a couple other strangers from my area. I'm registering tomorrow as yellow mustang registry since I've been with them the past 5 years. I might have room for a
Hotel guest if someone needs a place to stay. I got a primo room. I've had the same room the past 3 years. Weather looks good and supposed to be hot.

Hey guys, I booked a room and will be there either way just not sure if it will be with the car or not. I need to make sure the car is ready for the 5 hour trip but I will probably register the car this week under NYM's and eat the show tickets if I don't bring the car. I have a few leaks I noticed getting it out of storage from the winter, and need to get it up in the lift to make sure they aren't serious. Seems to be running good though so probably being paranoid. Might come down with my dad in his 66 pickup but at least we add one to the NYM count.
I would love to know what people hate about it. I try to go as many times as I can and have a good time. There aren't a whole lot of other places with as many vendors and that many cars in one place? I am sure it is not a perfect show but I think it is cool. I find myself saying whenever I need something that I will wait and see what I find at Carlisle.
If you're going just to win a trophy, that's where you might not like it. Basically whoever comes with most friends wins lol.
But if you're going to enjoy seeing a amazing amount of Ford cars/trucks and look for parts or check out the Ford Stand, or the 4x4 rock crawling, autocross, etc etc you get my hint. Its a great experience.

Definitely not going for the trophy. People complained saying its just a big swap meet. But I bet those are the people that don't need parts for their cars or don't have time to wait around for this show and get parts at discounted prices. I never been there but being in a huge show with all ford people sounds like a pretty awesome time.
Sorry if my post sounded bad but I was genuinely interested in what the people didn't like. I don't doubt there are people who don't like the feel of a big show.
CJ has a huge tent and their office is not far from the fairgrounds. So if they don't have it they can usually get it the next day and bring it with them. Saves shipping and you can see the quality before you buy win/win. Also for me I have a running list of stupid parts that if I ever run across them used I may tackle the project. Kind of the thrill of the hunt at the used parts vendors when you have things you are looking for.

Okay Everyone... It's getting closer...
I just got off the phone with the hotel and the fairgrounds. We have all 12 rooms booked for both Friday and Saturday night. As for the fairgrounds, we have 23 NYM members registered, 2 more and our tent is FREE!!!!!!
On Friday night the hotel is hosting a “Beef & Brew” at 6:30. This is a great time to meet and chat with our mustangs friends.
Looking forward to another awesome time.
