Carlisle.. whos going?

The Carlisle All-Ford Nationals isn't all about winning a trophy , IMHO . It's about bringing like-minded people (Contique-loving) people together to hang out & shoot the poop & whatnot . I'd haved been just as happy all these years if they NEVER handed out a trophy . That kinda crap just stirs stuff up . Who cares about a stinkin' trophy anyways , when you can hang out with friends & look at cool cars :shrug: ?

Unfortunately some people do.
But yeah, it's supposed to be about hanging out with friends and having fun.
 
Yea, on the web site it says they're having a Ford GT collection this year. From old and new, to race ready and street legal. I can't wait to see that! That's my dream car there!

good grief, it's a car show...people enter their vehicles because they want to have a chance to win something, try not to make them feel bad for doing that...hanging out and being with friends should be a given at an event like this, anyways :) plus, folks shouldn't get the impression they have to choose one way or the other...:shrug:

blah, blah, blah .... your really saying your better then everyone else because you got a bes tof show last year :p








:laugh:

but yeah its about getting to hang out with a good group of people. it is cool to get recognized for the work that one has put into their car. hell I don't even normally vote, so how that falls is how that falls.
 
Interesting. That clears it all up.

No one was trying to make anyone feel guilty, if you're there to win, that's fine.

Of course I do enjoy seeing the locals but I go because I like seeing Tom, Scott, Ryan, Brian, etc., all the people that I normally don't get to see at our local meets.
I don't like standing around half the day cleaning my car and having to talk to spectators, my car is parked, I'm there to try to have fun with friends.

I think I'm done with this thread.

so im gonna take it your going?:eek:
 
sheesh, who knew entering your car in a show would cause so many bad feelings :shrug: competition isn't wrong, it's healthy, especially among friends :) besides, I've won enough times, I don't really care if I win again, but I think people need to lighten up...:shrug:
 
My last thoughts, there are no bad feelings, at least not with me anyway.

No Ian, I am not going to the fairgrounds. I am sick of the BS and in general the "feel" of the show. It was never a show for me, it was only a place to hang out with friends and have a good time.

With that, you will hear no more out of me on this subject.

^lol! :laugh: there's not enough of you boys for that to happen, but maybe you can distract me with Linda :idea:
 
Lets put his car in neutral and roll it down by the Escorts when he's not looking. No one will be the wiser. :laugh:
 
Amanda and I are considering going because we were planning on going last year, but couldn't because my 3L wasn't done last year. I'm kinda leary about going this year because I don't want to deal with any drama. I'm not trying to start anything, I just don't want to go all that way and not have a good time. I will be pretty pissed if that would happen. I really want to go though, because it's looking like one of Amandas profs is holding us up from going to SZ :mad:
