Most of us attending the Meet in Pigeon Forge agreed that the All Fords Show in PA would be a good venue for next years meet. We even went so far as to decide we were going to purchase a tent at this event & get a PCCA/FordPinto.com banner made.

What I failed to do was to ASK the pinto community at large to see if this would be a good choice..

Harley, you will need to post some good words here...

Vote, lets get this rolling for next year now,

I have made Paul, crazyhorse & Harley, pintoman, moderators of this board,

count me in, it gives me plenty of time to plan ahead, get passports for the boarder crossing (its coming) and make arrangemeants for transportation ect. Hopefully my motor will hold together this year so i don't have to "thrash" on it next spring!

Maybe we could get a Canadian caravan of Pinto/Bobcats to head to Carlisle together incase there is vehicle problems on the way.... plenty of helping hands to fix unforseen issues.

While it would be good PR my 2 cents would to have it more west than more east than it was this year. I just think that moving it back and forth from each side of the Mississippi each year would be a thought worth considering. I know this probably doesn't hold much weight since I did not attend this year.

The carlisle idea sounds great to me.The All Ford Nationals is a well organized and run show.For any one that has been there before can tell you that grounds are huge and clean.That inclueds the rest rooms.They have excelent food you even can have breakfast there.For the parts hunters,there is a huge swap area.Can take a good two days to look through it.They actualy had some Pinto parts there last year.So my vote is for carlisle,and i'll try and get us a tent for the event.

pintoman · « **Reply #4 on:** May 17, 2005, 10:59:58 AM »

Also the wives and kids have areas set up for them.The wives can get there nails and makeup done for free plus they have craft classes.The kids have an area setup so they can play.

jcbugs · « **Reply #5 on:** May 17, 2005, 11:22:43 AM »

Sounds like a great idea, plenty of time to make plans and close enough to drive the wagon. Other attractions in the area, for the non-car minded family members, include Hershey Park and the PA Amish
area. Count me in.

crazyhorse · « **Reply #6 on:** May 17, 2005, 11:41:49 AM »

I'll do anything in my power to help arrange this. However, I'll have to wait untill "closer in" to see if I'll be able to attend. If I can help, PLEASE just ask.

r4pinto · « **Reply #7 on:** May 17, 2005, 01:26:50 PM »

I know depending on what kind of cash I got I'd be able to attend. I planned on going to Pigeon forge, but the car died, so no cash.. Was going to go to Carlisle, but no cash... too many bills..

Pintony · « **Reply #8 on:** May 17, 2005, 07:47:16 PM »

Hello Group,
I feel that Pigeon Forge was the ideal spot for our meet.
Lots to do. More family oriented. I know the O.F.C. would rather have it in Carlisle. BUT I would leave my family behind if the meet were to be moved to Carlisle. I was there last year and it rained constantly.
I did not see that much for kids and the wife.
Not that I was disapointed in the Carlisle show. It is a great melting pot of Fords. Never before have I seen so many Mint condition Henry Ford products.
I will be there no mater where it it is in the U.S.A.
As for the west coast guys.you need to come up with a PLAN! or Get A Clue.
The Knoxberry Farms show is your Ford Pinto Nationals!
I would gladly attend a Las Vegas meet.
From Pintony

Damn, why is PA so far from California. How long is the drive there? Why don't y'all drive all the way out here to Knott's in April. And we'll come out in June. What do you think? Hmm?

pintoman · « **Reply #10 on:** May 18, 2005, 09:49:12 AM »

We could try and have our meet some where in the mid west, maybe OKLA.If some one out there would be willing to get some information on locations,it might work.Having it there or some other state near there,we could have more Pinto's show up.It's just a thought.

Hey Guys,

Tenn. was great a great location.
Super time meeting other pinto enthusiast from across the USA and Canada.
Look forward to nx yr(my Pinto will be done).

PA is an excellent All Ford Show; tons of parts & cars!

If Carlisle is nx yr's site you won't be disappointed; but timing is essential-Motel reservations
need to be made several months in advance!!

Thanks to all who orginazided this yrs meet!!!!

ADaughen · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2005, 01:53:07 PM »

I'll be going.Ã‚Â The Pinto might even be done by then.

Yeah right! MAYBE it will be running again.Ã‚Â

I've gone the past few years as a specator.Ã‚Â Good turn outs each time.Ã‚Â Lots of cars/trucks/others.Ã‚Â If you're from out of town and don't have a friend/family to stay with I suggest booking a hotel room now.Ã‚Â It gets crowded FAST.Ã‚Â

If we can find a midwest area for our more western bretheren I'd be game to roll out that way too. 8-10 hours is about as far as I'll drive though.

Don't get me wrong, my car runs great but there's something about driving it across country that gives me the creaps. Maybe it's the cheap radio.

ADaughen · « **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2005, 12:20:56 PM »

^^ LOL yeah, AM radio only, for a year sucked. Fortunately I only used the car to drive home on the weekends.

Carlisle would be awesome for me I live only 70 miles from there, and by next june hopefully will have a street ready v-8 wagon to tow the race car with! The thing about early motel reservations is true, Carlisle draws a HUGE crowd, when I lived there I used to flee to the mountains for the car show weekends, because the place gets to packed to do your normal routine weekend things when there is a show. But it is a really cool setup, If you are looking for anything ford you can usually find it there.

grgic · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2005, 02:53:47 PM »

Count me in. I would have gone to this years meet but my trans went out in my mustang and the pinto has become my daily driver. I didn't want to risk it on a long tip.

1955ranchwagon · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2005, 02:41:48 PM »

dallas would be a good location

pintoman · « **Reply #18 on:** May 29, 2005, 04:48:01 PM »

I'll be leaving for Carlisle on thursday.Will i;m there i,ll try and find out about getting an area set up for 1600 Pintos [i wish] for next year,and maybe a tent to cover us all.

Nothe that i inserted the space for a reason. watch.

SageNip · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2005, 03:12:13 PM »

I will definitely be there! Count my pony IN!! I may even do a bit of Pinto towing!

pintoman · « **Reply #22 on:** June 06, 2005, 08:10:57 AM »

I'm going to get ahold of the Carlisle event people sometime today and see what kind of information that we need and what they need to know about them setting up an area for us next year.I talked to several Pinto guys there at carlisle.Koote r said that if we need anything let him know.I met Kooter and a freind of his on saturday.I can't remember his name but a real nice guy[It hell getting old].So i let evry one know about what i find out.

ADaughen · « **Reply #23 on:** June 07, 2005, 12:45:46 AM »

I was there... didn't see any of the "people" just the pintos.

I sure would like to go, especially now that I have my pinto restored (well I will have it on 6/15). Pennsylvania is a long haul. I vote for Tulsa, OK. That's not too far. I live in Shelton WA and a central location would be groovy. I really like the idea of all the pintos travelling together that would be SO COOL!! And it would also be very nice in case someone ran into problems. I'll keep my eye on the strings. At this point, not sure if I could go or not-lots of arrangements I would have to make in advance, but WOW it would be really neat!!

pintoman · « **Reply #27 on:** June 11, 2005, 02:11:38 PM »

I still havn't heard back from carlisle.As soon as i hear from them i will let every one know.But if Pintony or some one else out in the midwest wants to set up something for next year,let us know and we might do the get together out there.Right now nothing is set in concrete,but most of the votes are for carlisle.For me i can go in any direction.My 80 Rallye is an exelent road car.Haven't had any problems asof yet.Made two 400 mile trips in the last month and still drive it dailey.

sagesunrise · « **Reply #28 on:** June 11, 2005, 07:45:58 PM »

Would be way cool to try out Tulsa maybe in 2007? If some of the local pinto toughs can look into it...I am happy to make some phone calls or do some other leg work. I have been to the Tulsa state fairgrounds and it seems like there are lots of camping areas surrounding it. Maybe we could have it there? Sure would be neat to have all of the west coast pinto's take the trip together and pick up everyone along the way. That would be the coolest! Boy would we all get some looks!! If this is doable, I would be happy to start collecting names and phone #'s of all along the way that might want to "jump on the train" on the way to Tulsa. If anyone has any ideas on this, please let me know.

pintoman · « **Reply #29 on:** June 12, 2005, 01:22:34 PM »

Hey sagesunrisetha t sounds like a good idea.I say we have at Carlisle in 2006 then we can have it in Tulsa in 2007.As soon as i hear from Carlisle i'll get that information to everybody.I'm hoping to get at least 25 cars at carlisle next year.Any one that plans on attending next year needs to pre regester so Carlisle know's how many will be attending and we can get an area set up just for us.You don't have to pre regester but it will be $10 cheeper than at the gate.Also like 68 cyclone said, you need to reserve a aroom or rooms as soon as possible, because it gets real packed at the nationals.Ther e is a new Best Western in town that might have more rooms available that weekend.
