Youtube videos coming in.  Doesn't look like they have mowed the grass for days.  Standing water etc.

The weather report I keep seeing is 100% rain on Saturday.  Since Saturday was the only day I was going to be there, it does not look good for me to be there.  I don't want to spend good money after bad by making a trip for nothing.  Even if it wasn't 100% rain, the grounds there are probably going to be mud.
I am not happy.
I bet there won't be too many people there for any car category.

Agree just wasn't to be this year.

I was able to get my money back on my room, so I'm out.  I was thinking, even if it doesn't rain on the day of, it may be muddy as hell from all the rain before then.  Sorry guys.  I was so looking forward to going, but once I knew I wasn't going to be in paint, I was already suspecting it wouldn't happen for me.  But now that this rain is coming to stay for a while, I'm not going to make it.  Plus work just dumped more crap on me, so I'm going to stay home and work through that mess instead of going out, so it is actually now helping for me not to go.  I hate that.  Would much rather enjoy the day with everyone, but it doesn't seem to be in the stars for me this year.

If this thing gets back to me in a reasonable amount of time, maybe next year I'll drive it there on fumes! instead of hauling it there on a trailer.  Hey, I gotta up the ante if I'm skipping a year, right?  ;-)

Thanks,
Coop

I pre-bought my "Gate and Go" pass so I expect to go BUT the weather forecast (right now) doesn't look good.  I'm going to keep an eye on it and see what it looks like for Saturday, the only day I was going to be there.
I hate to lose the money spent for car, truck, and trailer, but if it is going to be a rainout, I would also lose the turnpike tolls and gas and time to make the trip.
Over the last many years I only canceled my trip once because of rain.
Carlisle is a funny place when it comes to weather.  It can be hot or cold, windy or still, dry or wet.  You never know.  That is for the same date in May.

Understand. I was just having this conversation with some guys. Weather is going to suck. I'm going to check if I can get my money back on the room. It may be what decides me going as well.

Thanks,
Coop

It is with regret that my wife and I will not be attending the show this year.  I just hate looking at the weather forecast for Carlisle every year.  How I wish that they would schedule it in the middle of June or so.  It costs me over 1K to bring my car to a show and last year was very hard on my wife and I.  So as we get older, we have to make hard decisions.  Maybe another year will be sunny and maybe my car will show up in color and shiny.  Sorry, guys. :'( :'( :'(

msaby (Mike)...
Do I have to come up there and stand over you until you get that car finished?
I thought last year's show would inspire you to get busy.  What more do we have to do, we had seven cars there!
I am as anxious as anyone to see you with your finished build.
GET BACK TO WORK!  :)

I can't believe it is that time again, but I am not going to make it this year.  In fact I was hoping after last years show I was going to find time to get back to work on my car. It has been sitting too long.  Well enjoy the show, maybe next year I will attend.

Coop...
I wasted over six months and a lot of money trying to get primer on my build and never did.  I finally took it back home and worked it myself.
You are not alone.

Ha ha. Awesome. I wish. But there's too much to do. That's why he told me it wouldn't go to paint. That bit of primer I was shown is all that there is. Everything you don't see isn't done. So darn. I hate it. Because it has been over there since last October.  Still pissed about that. They knew I wanted to take it to the show. Bastards.

Hey, Coop.  Go to Youtube and check out "Boss painter".  He has videos on how to paint your car in your own garage in THREE DAYS. ::bounce ::headbang
