First time to Carlisle after 11 in a row to the Columbus Nats.
Carlisle gets my vote! Everyone told me I'd like Carlisle and I was not disappointed.
Saw Dave, Bruce, Gary and Pam.
Rick "Custom Wire" FireCore wires with his 71 sunroof GTX.
Already planning to return next year.
Columbus is now a backup plan for me.

Is this where I get to post and say "I told you so!"
Great to see you there!

Woohoo! The t-shirt I did for the show sold out--even though they had printed more than last year! Even the second shirt design I did for them--a Dodge Challenger shirt--sold out. To say I'm happy with those results would be an understatement. Yes, Carlisle rocks!

We couldn't be happier for you Bruce, Congrats. I think we hold the record for $$ spent on T shirts

Don't know how many you bought Gary, but Tim Schuler (owner of the '71 Challenger on the shirt) bought a BUNCH too. So it might be a toss up.

Bruce - we couldn't be happier at how well received the shirts were. They looked awesome, and the artwork looked great on the cover of the show program and on the award plaques too! Way to go man! I sure hope they can get at least the Plymouth license before next year!

The wife told me not to buy one....hint-hint....with my birthday coming up and all. I hope hers got shipped before the sellout!
Will you be having a shirt signing session in Elfland any time in the near future?
...and YES, Carlisle puts on a good, well organized show. I got to meet Dave, too!

Carlisle....great show as always! Dave, Bruce, Gary & Pam, Rick, and Mark, great to see you again. Andy and Barry Washington, sorry I didn't connect with you. Great to meet a few new friends as well...Quapman and Jeff Brown. Always hate to see Sunday come around when we have to pack up to leave.

Here's proof that my Runner did indeed make it to Carlisle. Then she rewarded all my butt-bustin' efforts by puking her guts out--overheating on the way to the show on Friday. Guess that's what I get for taking a car that hadn't even had a good shakedown run before the show. Once we got home I worked some more and think we have mostly solved the problem. Then I took it out for some well-deserved flogging and tire-frying fun. She's loud, raucous and raw--just the way I love 'em!

Anyone get any details or info on this GTX?

Dave, Eric and I all looked at the car at the same time and on separate occasions. Let's just say there are some things that stand out enough to raise some questions--like the font used on the door vin decal. I'll let Dave and Eric discuss it further if they are so inclined. Whatever it's history, it sure was one LOADED GTX!
