Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

Thunderstorms on Saturday it says. Slight chance on Fri.

Yeah, weather looks like a problem, which means all the detailing I did last weekend and leaving the car garaged all week is probably going to be a waste. Oh well, it'll still be a good time and I won't have to worry about sun burn.

I'm gonna buy a couple extra microfiber towels just in case. If it rains, it rains. It doesn't look like it's supposed to be steady rain all day, just occasional thunderstorms.
Nothing a microfiber towel and some detail spray can't fix.

Showboard mock-up done last night. Girlfriend did a killer job. All that's left is the photo shoot tomorrow and I'm golden.

Yeah....Sun burn. I was about as pink as Jen's dress in your avatar picture there.

Hopefully you guys all have a good time and the rain will keep a lot of the junky cars away this year.

I'm not worried about a shower coming through while at the show, I just worry about picking up road grime on my way out there Saturday morning. It's about 85 miles, so I'll probably drive through some wet roadway.

If I can just clean and detail, that'll be cool, but I'm not bringing full car wash supplies...

Are you gonna stop by as a spectator or will you be too busy wrenching on your ride?

i may have to borrow some of that lol

honestly i know my car is just gonna be mess from the drive. 200 mile drive after days of rain isnt gonna be pretty. team that up with bug splats as well. i could easily bring cleaning supplies but no use if i cant find a hose and water. i refuse to hit one of those car washes too lol OCD when it comes to washing and what touches my car

Yeah it will definitely be messy. There is a cleaning station though. Im sure a lot will be using it.

And I will be more than happy to meet up with you guys after the show lets out. Maybe we can all grab dinner?? Im doing some prep for mothers day Saturday afternoon so that's what Ill be doing until then lollolol. Were doing a massive family mothers day thing so the guys have like 5 or 6 ladies+ everyone else to cook for

How robust is the cleaning station? How busy it it, typically?

Looks like we will be judged in tent #1 at 3:00 pm.

It's on their website.

Also, I think I located a self-service car wash about 2.5 miles away. I think it's still active but can't confirm - there's no website.

I don't use those awful brushes, either. I take my buckets and supplies to the self-serve bay and use their equipment only for rinsing.

i may be doing that as well. and i'm dumb about the judging time we are all in the same class haha tent #1 3pm nissan Z class lol

dmhenderson · 05-08-2013, 01:18 PM

I have several bottles or Adams waterless wash. I think I'll just go that route and then go over it with detail spray.
