[RocsMerc]

Well I'll definitely be attending. I already bought my registration but I didn't book a hotel yet because I don't know how many people are coming with me yet. I voted in this poll wrong though. I clicked maybe because I thought this was the marauderville thread. Oops. lol

Hey guys, it will be great to see both of you! Better make hotel reservations sooner than later. A bunch of us are already booked at the Hampton Inn Carlisle. (717) 240-0200) If you decide to stay there be sure to say you are with MM.net.

Let them know you are with the Marauder group! For our group rate.

[Blackened300a]

Tent registration arrived in my email. Its once again free thanks to everyone's commitment. Whats not free are the tables, they are $15 each. Any idea how many we will need? We had 3 last year and I think they worked out pretty good. If we increase the BBQ this year due to turnout, I suggest 4 tables.

Pre-registration determines the size of our tent. I always stress this and I will continue to do so. PRE-REGISTER!!!!!!

My annual how and what to do thread will be up in the very near future. PRE-REGISTER!!!!!

[J-MAN]

Registered #9825. Four tables. An extra tent would be nice or can we upgrade for additional cost?

[Blackened300a]

One tent per car club and they only provide set sizes for the number of pre-registered. So far I see over 30 cars on the attending list and maybe 15 pre-registered members. That means a small tent for a large number of people. This is exactly why I push the pre-registration.

Ratz! Can't you work your magic on them? Try to impress them that we have many older members and need the extra room for all the wheel chairs, walkers and oxygen tanks! :D

Maybe I should show them pictures of last years BBQ attendee's. I think that would drive the point home that we need some room! :D

No doubt! I think they would have to revise the participant per square foot formula. :eek:

[Ms. Denmark]

Paul, we need at least 4 tables. You need one for attendee sign in/trophys/tee shirts and raffle items etc. and we could use 4 alone for grilling/ food and beverages/paper goods, not to mention incidentals like boom box/CDs and misc. supplies. I think we need 5.

[hwy73]

We can do the "redneck" add-ons like we did last year. ;)

Registered # 9917

[FastMerc]

I wonder where they will park us this year?

[Ms. Denmark]

Hope we get the same spot. I liked it!

If we can get enough Pre-Registrations early, maybe we can knock the Yellow Mustang Club off their prime real estate ;)

I don't know if the Yellow Mustangs all park together. Last year they had all the Mustangs separated by year.

[Bluerauder]

I don't know if the Yellow Mustangs all park together.

You don't get out much. ;)

Yellow Mustang Registry is always in the spot on the flat near the Registration location. I have a pic somewhere of all the yellow Mustangs from the top of the bleachers. Probably more than 100 last year.

[HammerDown]

alright, alright, we'll get our registration in.I know we're late!!

Paula keeps me on a short leash. She finds it easier to beat the groupies away if she's on home turf. I only travelled to the restrooms and back last year.:cool:

I hate where tht YMR park! Hot, no breeze, flat, crowded, riff-raff riddled POS realestate.LOL. I feel like I'm in Calcutta over there! I like our 2010 spot a lot!

[Blackened300a]

They put the YMR in the mustang section of the showfield. I personally liked our 2009 area on top of the hill. Sure it was a bit of a pain to walk to the events, but we had a nice breeze and a lot of foot traffic.
According to the website, they pick the location of the car clubs 2 weeks before the event. I will put a word in for a specific location, Maybe they will give us some well earned respect. ;)

Remember that we almost sold Doom's car to looky-loos!!!!!!

With 2,500 to 3,000 cars in attendance, its kinda difficult to predict and pick a spot. The location desirability really depends on the weather. On the flat can be a problem if there is any amount of rain before or during the event. On a hill is nice if it is very hot and you can catch a breeze.

Personally, I liked the 2010 site. It was fairly close to the action. Pretty close to the Car Corral and the display buildings. The hill was not TOO steep and provided adequate drainage except just below the tent location. We had 2 entire rows to ourselves PLUS a blank unassigned row behind us that could be used for overflow. That was a bennie IMHO. That location also drew quite a bit of foot traffic with people passing by enroute to the Car Coral or other vendor/display areas.

The 2009 site on the hill was too far from most of the action. It did provide drainage but was a pretty steep area. I really didn't notice alot of foot traffic there. The tent on the corner was a plus and the hill did allow a breeze to cool you off -- that was nice when Saturday turned hot.

The 2008 site was right in the thick of the action on the flat and near the main stop sign with the picnic area, wash racks and bathrooms right across the road. However, the site was cramped and we had to fight for spots with the Mercury Cyclones and Crown Vics. Cars parked every which way to fit 'em in. Quite a bit of foot traffic. Very HOT with NO breeze at all. That area would have turned into an immediate swamp if it had rained even just a little.

What I have learned is that the MM.Net gang makes the most of whatever site we get.

The most significant part though is getting enough folks Pre-Registered so that our assigned area is big enough to support the crowd. I am guessing that we'll need at least 50 spots this year.

Woohoo! Just found out my daughter graduates on Memorial day Saturday, instead of Carlisle weekend. So may make it after all.

Yes, the Carlisle grounds are open Thursday to all who have registered. I'm planning to arrive Thursday if the weather is clear. The vendors are usually there and set up, so you can use the extra day to get a head start on the swap meet action!

Its about an hour away. Do they distribute it at all? I may be able to get it in the Utica area if they do. I know there are some micro brewers in Cooperstown that do some distribution because I've had their beers in higher end taverns/resturants. When my daughter plays softball this spring we may be playing Cooperstown. I won't know for a few weeks yet, but we always play a school thats about 10 miles from there so I should be able to get it.

Probably once it gets closer things will heat up. I bought into the Christmas special on the field passes, maybe others did too so thats why its quiet. :dunno:
