I love Hershey and Carlisle and always love to go, but the biggest week of the year in my racing is next week. Haven't missed that for 30+ years. I'm no longer turning laps on the NYS Fairgrounds, nowadays I'm helping younger guys try to conquer the 'Moody Mile'. If (God forbid) Super Dirt Week ever ceases to exist, you can be sure I'll head to Hershey!Proud NON-CASO

I often go, and would this year, but my friend who allows me bunk space in his motorhome is going out early in the week and leaving before the show Sat., and I didn't want to miss the show and also miss more work than usual. I'm depressed about it!
It is worth seeing. A friend who accompanied me once there said "It's the Woodstock of Old Cars!" and I think that's an accurate description.
I do hope it dries out, out there by next week. I worked in Harrisburg this past week and it was heavy rain, HEAVY rain, late in the week. I drove by Carlisle Fairgrounds on the turnpike and all I could think about was how miserable it had to be for the folks at Carlisle this year.Last edited by Bill Pressler; 10-02-2010, 03:59 AM.Bill Pressler

Hi
"....Anticipation, it's keepin' me waitin'...." With visions of pre-war, custom-bodied Classics (and Studebakers) dancing in my head! We'll be there Thursday through Saturday, maybe even late Wednesday.......can't wait!

I just returned from Carlisle; we had 4+inches of rain Thursday but dry and fun Friday. I'll be at Hershey for three days next week as I have been for 20 years. There are very few things that make living in Upstate NY worth while lately but the proximity to the Hershey fall show is one of them. The most fun you can have with your pants on. If you have the opportunity to go, don't miss it.
MurrayLife isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain !

I have been to Carlisle and Hershey and don't know if I could do them justice now. I last went to Hershey in a motorhome and stayed on the grounds. I was there from Tuesday through Saturday. I walked from sunrise to sunset every day and still believe that I missed something.Gary L.

I'll be at Hershey Friday and Saturday. I registered my '56 President Classic in the DPC class, but will not be driving it there due to extremely untimely tread separation on the 20 year old Firestone WWW radials that manifested itself last week. Friday I'll be trying to score a set of WWW radials and Saturday will be hanging out with a buddy who's showing his '57 Rambler Rebel for the first time (327 with Hydra-Matic).
