I hope you all have a FordPinto.com registered ride sticker on your car for this meet. Anyone who does not have one, please see the front page and gets yours.

Not that I'll even have my pinto street legal much less looking good by then, but I have to ask... Carlisle, Where? What state? (Just so us newbies will know).

dirt track demon · « **Reply #5 on:** January 26, 2006, 05:52:13 PM »

How do I pre-register. I'll be there for sure, not sure about a pinto though, the old race car is not much to look at anymore, I could trailer it down there though. But I think carlisle would frown on hot laps around the show. Its ugly and loud. But if its there it will have a sticker on it. #327 (odd number for on a ford??).

Pintony, I might be able to donate some stuff for your giveaway. Do you still have my number? Id rather discuss it over the phone to keep the suspense level up.

pintoman · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2006, 06:44:52 PM »

Go to www.carsatcarl isle.com.Go to the ford show and click,just follow there directions.And bring the race car,you can trailer it in.Niose no problem.

We like noisy Pinto's. I allready said I'll will be there. I have to get 1 of those stickers though for my Cruiser Wagon. You could take your dirt Pinto & drag race it at the local strip that is held in conjunction with Carlisle. LOL

Are you talking about south mountain? Ill drag race as long as i get to start on the right(remember this is an oval track car that is designed to go left) :showback: :fastcar: :hypno: :accident:

Boss2300 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2006, 07:13:40 PM »

South Mountain thats it. I've gone there once when I had my boss 302. I think it took about 45 minutes to get there. Small 1/8 mile strip. Not modern at all. You can park for free in the weeds. LOL

With the way my luck went at the track last year, with my inclination to run into things, I had better just stick to the burnout competition. But one never knows when a wild hair is going to show up. :drunk:

LincoPinto · « **Reply #11 on:** February 13, 2006, 05:23:53 PM »

I would really like to go, hate I'm missing it... but i just dont think my pinto will be ready in time...
Plan on doing on in 2007?

Travis

pintoman · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2006, 05:29:26 PM »

If you think your Pinto won't make it,come on up any way.You or any one else in the club are always welcome to come to our events.

r4pinto · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2006, 05:31:41 PM »

What all do you have to do to it? Mine won't look all that good but it will be there. It's just all about having fun & showing off our Pintos to the world. If you can't make it there probably will be a meet in 2007, but not sure where it would be at yet.

LincoPinto · « **Reply #14 on:** February 14, 2006, 07:51:54 AM »

I wont have everything that’s rusted around the windshield refabricated for another two or three weeks, I need to save for the windshield re-installment, new tires (dry rotted), and my steering is all out of whack... you have to turn the wheel 90deg. before the wheels even move... not to mention that the engine hasn't been run for longer than 2 miles in over 15 years...

I plan on dropping a 302 5.0L Fuel Inj. Possibly from a crown vic in it here soon... when I do that ill address the steering.

But I may just come up without her... to see what you all have.

dirt track demon · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2006, 01:13:17 PM »

Well, unfortunately the ugly green race car wont be coming after all. I was playing around withit, trying different things on the suspension, trying to get the best burnout out of it. And i guess the old girl just didn't have too many burnouts left in her. it still runs but.... it only holds about 8 lbs of oil pressure at idle, and pours smoke out the exhaust. Soooo, i will still be coming but not the car. I will be trailering some parts down, if anybody has any particular requests. ill try to make sure it goes on the trailer.

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2006, 10:21:22 AM »

OK Harley...

I have been looking at a way to get to PA for this meet & I really thought I would not be able to bring my Wagon (the only one show ready) until today. I believe I can rent a truck & trailer and be off so I can attend... Now I need to get to planning,

I have not forgot about your banner or the graphics you requested for the other, working on it...

This is going to be a 12+ hour trip with the Kids & wife from Alabama. Question, who is going abound the same time ( a day or two before) & can we start a caravan of pintos and cars deedmed worthy to carry or tow our pintos & members? I would like to see if this can be accomplished & when we can go to have the most members on the caravan before I book any time or ask for the specific dates off.

Takers?

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #17 on:** February 16, 2006, 10:30:19 AM »

A friend of mine (who convinced me to bring my wagon) had a really great (I think) idea...

At the show we each place a fire extinguisher in the exact same place next to our cars.

So the 'viewer' sees all the Pintos & then sees all the fire extinguishers lined up, Kinda a tong-in-cheek acknowledgemen t of the cars issues so we can field these questions with humor instead of ambiguity.

Thoughts?

pintoman · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2006, 05:52:52 PM »

Hi Scott. A caravan sounds great. :fastcar: :fastcar: :fastcar:There should be 6 or 7 of us leaving Columbus,Ohio on the Thursday before the show.I'm hoping that some of the Pintos that are west of Columbus can meet up with us.As for you get with dream bean he lives in S.C..He and some others from there should be coming up together.And don't forget to pre-regester and check on rooms now,they fill up fast.

pintoman · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2006, 07:44:27 AM »

Hey Scott,I like that idea.I will bring a fire extinguisher with me.It's probably a good idea to have one in the car anyway.

r4pinto · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2006, 10:09:51 AM »

I just registered for the event. Now I just gotta reserve a hotel room. :fastcar: ... & get a fire extiguisher. Like you said it is a good thing to have in the car anyways.

r4pinto · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2006, 11:02:31 AM »

Fair warning... Hotel Rooms are filling up very fast. :2fast4u: I just went to register & was lucky to find one in Mechanicsburg (about 20 minutes away from Carlisle) as low as $75 for 2 people. Act now as they're filling up. Check Motels.com & you might get a cheaper rate, especially if you have AAA or any other applicable discounts.

DreamBean · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2006, 09:38:41 PM »

I have pre reg. But still hunting a motel room. I plan on going up early thursday mourning. I want to hook up with any one that will be seen with me.LOL Hey Crazyhorse! You coming too!?!

pintoman · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2006, 05:35:42 PM »

Hey Dreambean.Have you called the number that i gave you about rooms.I should be there about 6 pm on Thursday we can hang out together.Pinto man.

DreamBean · « **Reply #24 on:** February 25, 2006, 11:24:50 PM »

Harley,which one you staying at? I thought that I saw 2 or 3 on there web site. Will be calling them tomorrow. What to make sure it is the same one.

r4pinto · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2006, 05:35:31 AM »

I'm not too sure you'll be able to stay i the same one as Harley. When I was trying to make reservations it showed all three were full. That's why I had to go with econo lodge. Your best bet is to go to a site like Orbitz.com or motels.com. That's how I found my room.

Hope this helps.

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #26 on:** February 28, 2006, 04:13:13 PM »

I'm at the Econo lodge.....

pintoman · « **Reply #27 on:** February 28, 2006, 05:59:34 PM »

I will be at Motel-6 on Harrisbugh pike.

Which one you at? I'm at the mechanicsburg econo lodge. That's as close as I could get without paying outrageous rates.

DreamBean · « **Reply #29 on:** March 02, 2006, 06:07:11 PM »

:amazed:I too am staying at the Econo lodge! r4pinto, We will be roomies!!! COOL!!LOL
