Default Carlisle Bummer

I had hoped to see all the guys at Carlisle to see what they have done and also for them to see some of the unique things that I have done. Imagine my surprise when I got to the hotel and they told me that my reservation had been cancelled. Soooo, I thought that I would go to the show and maybe find some one who would share a room. The man at the gate sent me to the east end where he said the Xfires would be. I must have been early, I didn't see any, it was around 1 PM. Anyway after driving around a very long time, I hadn't seen a single event staff to give me some clue where I was to park. I can't imagine an event of this size without a single event staff near the showfield, not one. And all the vendors with crap that in no way related to cars, like a state fair. I found the nearest exit and headed home. I did pass a black SRT6 and yellow limited roadster on rte 11 apparently headed for the show. I hope those that did attend had a better experience than I did, I don't think that I would ever go back since the Carlisle sponsored Bloomsburg event is much nicer, the grounds are flat as a pool table, there are only food and car stuff vendors and it's 1 mile off of Rte 80, no traffic to contend with and the local club who cosponsors has personnel at each corner to help.
