Title: 2018 Ford National's - Carlisle, PA.
Post by: bpd1151 on December 07, 2017, 08:21:15 PM

Please consider joining me, and other fellow Ecoboost and Ford enthusiasts for the biggest Official Ford event of each calendar year, by registering for the National's.

Held in Carlisle, Pa.

2017 saw over 3,300 Ford cars of all years, all platforms, all trim levels, as well as from stock to heavily modified and everything inbetween. 2017 saw a good turnout of Taurus owners, but of course, it'd be great to see those numbers continuing to expand!

Consider registering for the downtown street parade, in addition to the showfield. It's a real blast!

2018 dates are: June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

There's a 20% discount across the board, for those who register before the end of the year.

I already have registered myself.

I'm sure hotel arrangements will be being discussed, and details forthcoming as the event draws closer.

But fair warning, due to the sheer volume of attendees, hotels typically book up by sometime in March.

I'm looking forward to all the friendships, the memories, and even meeting new owners!

Remind me to bring the duct tape for your big mouth this year. For your eyes to. Lol.

Look at buzz kill Bradley chiming in with his comments from the peanut gallery. No commenting unless you plan on coming this year Brad. Ha!

It was an outstanding time. Not just because of the camaraderie and the friendships.

But also the sheer volume of cars as well as attendees and vendors alike.

My only regret is not having attended sooner.

Dumb question. I was looking at registering but what do they consider a modification?
Title: Re: 2018 Ford National's - Carlisle, PA.
Post by: bamsho on December 27, 2017, 07:44:43 AM
You are allowed 3 visual modifications to be able to be in the stock class.  Tune, 3bar sensor, downpipes, exhaust are ok. They want the stock class looking like stock. 

If you have gauge pod, cold air intake and wheels you are ok.  If you have hard pipes, dual feed inlets to the turbos, lowering springs or coilovers modifty class.  if you are sure, list your mods and I'll guide you from there.

LOL @ Brad "fining" me. Ha!

Anyhow, just thought to mention that hotels are filling up very quickly.

I started my search by typing in the address of the fairgrounds (1000 Bryn Mawr Road, Carlisle, Pa.) and then clicked on hotels. Starting with all the ones closest to the grounds, appears all of them are already booked up. Geezuz. 6 mo.'s in advance and damn, full full full.

So expanding my search a little further out, I found Holiday Inn Express located at: 1152 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 17013.

I booked a room there just now. It appeared they only had less than a 1/2 dozen remaining open for the Ford National's.

I will be checking in on Thursday May 31st, 2018, and checking out on Sunday June 3rd, 2018.

Hopefully any of you who are planning to attend as well, can also book the remaining rooms so as to permit us staying together in a group.

Please post up any plans you make respectively so we can coordinate accordingly. TIA!

Sure are, usually one of the  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle  race cars show up, and there are usually a few very sharp Gen 1 & 2 cars. And even now and then we see a PI show up!

Hahaha. Keep poking the bear Brian. LOL.

Oh my, look at Mark crawling out of the wood work to toss in some comments from the peanut gallery..... interesting.

I will only acknowledge that Brian has a sign over his "entry way" alright......

But I won't confirm what it exactly it reads.

Oh yea, and nothing is "accidental" when it occurs in/around Brian btw..... just remember Mark, it's ALWAYS intentional.

Looks like we have been really relegated to the bastard section(s) of the event. Even further back and away from, the main portions of the show. Get your walking shoes prepped and ready. Or as BAM_SHO told me, get my electric cart/chair charged up. LOL.

BTW, that gate 4 is for pedestrian/foot traffic only, and for the alternate parking area. I don't recall a whole helluva lot of people entering the grounds by that particular gate, so meh.

Whatever man. I'm just there to have fun and stir up some entertainment with all my fellow SHO peeps.......

Here's to another great year!

Sounds like it is even more imperative for you to get teh sign converted to 12VDC and added to your booth setup.  draw people from the other side of the floor!
Title: Re: 2018 Ford National's - Carlisle, PA.
Post by: bpd1151 on May 15, 2018, 01:48:23 AM
Ha! Yea......

They already are 12 volt, so that'd be easy to power given my audio system and it's power converted electrical interface.

However, sheer size of the letters alone, is a draw back to transporting them. Not to mention erecting a display stand/rack of some sorts.

All of which would be for naught, as even the business never had the signage turned on/illuminated during the day. Just simply not bright enough.

I enjoyed a hearty laugh though at the suggestion. As well intentioned as it was.

Cause if I drive it up there for the show, then I will need to detail it when I get up there..etc etc...

Although I don't know how parking up there is? Might be worth paying just get on the ground? I have never been...

Can I upgrade my event pass to a show pass?

That's part of the fun, is all the detailing.

$h!t I'm detailing after a near 14hr drive.... so you have it easy in comparison.

The more SHO's the better IMHO, as it provides the foundation to show FMC how much interest there is in them.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm all for hiding my SHO away in the garage too, but this is THE event of the year for Fords.

The bell weather of all events throughout any given calendar year. So bring it out!

Parking is typically on the grass unfortunately.

Northeast SHO Club I think is what everyone chooses. IDK Y, just is.

Oh... and BPD1151 mentioned we should start working on a place for dinner? I for one don't know anything about the place...

Any suggestions?

Well... we will see.... may car is completely stock on the outside now.. probably could get away with rinse. Might be worth while polishing up the new fuel pump lol... only thing under the hood worth showing off!

Is there a place to wash the cars?

They do have an area set aside for washing, yes. Like 6-8 cars at any given time IIRC.

most of the hotel /motel's  do have car washing areas set aside beside the one at Carlisle, IRC next to the holiday inn express there is a car wash attached to the gas /mini mart, yes it is touch-less ....

and as for a place for supper Friday night lest try for reservations, when we get there on Thursday

most of the places to eat are over on the strip where we were staying last year,  FYI

Easiest way is to get to the showfield and then go to the wash area, easy to find and it is free.  BTW the earlier you arrive the shorter the line to get into the show...the lines on the road into Carlisle can get real backed up.

Just easier and safer to park in the showfield.   If you buy something, then you dont have to carry it around all dsy.  Def get there very esrly.  One you get prime psrking spot in your class, less of a wsit to wash car and less of a line getting in.  It gets real bad esp saturdsy.  Hope to see you there.  This will be my 15th year attending.

Kind of retains that position after so many years worth of training / same style cuts.

Although I will acknowledge the grays continue to keep creeping in dag nabbit.

When my wife and I started dating, I had the same cut... (pretty much from 12 years old to 18 year old) and every time we hung out she would take her hands and mess it all up...

I decided it was easier (and less painful) to just to a military high and tight. Plus it hides the grays coming in now since I keep it short...

Although if you sit in your SHO with the new sound system cranked up, the grays might just fall out from shock...

Most (suburban) agencies here and elsewhere DO NOT opt in on the 3.5 EB motor.

Really no reason too when pursuit policies have become so incredibly stringent and restrictive over the years.

Not to mention that the politicians only like spending extra money on themselves and not on their police cars. Plus they'd have to spend more on insuring those squads, maintaining them, etc.

The only one's I am aware of that DO order the EB's are State Police and some (but not all) County Sheriff agencies.

Weather here turned fairly nice today, mid 70's with sun. Very nice tomorrow but Wednesday it is supposed to get cooler and cloudy.  As far as Thursday, Friday, and Saturday....Thursday 74 and 60% chance of rain, Friday 81 and 80% chance of rain, Saturday 71 and 60% chance of rain....sorry I can't give better news, but I am only about 60 miles north of Carlisle so I would expect pretty much the same weather there.

Curious how the show is still going on? I have never been so I'm not sure how much is "inside" vs the field.....

I'm guessing the dyno, races, etc are going to be canceled?

I'm guessing that it's just that BIG of an event, and that THAT MUCH planning goes into it, that it is never really cancelled in it's entirety.

But it would seem likely that SOME ASPECTS of the event may be cancelled. It wouldn't make sense to me to have the dyno, burn out contest, racing, etc. If conditions aren't optimal.

Who knows. Maybe others with some greater experience with the event will chime in. 2017 was my 1st year to attend.

That said, I did speak to BAM_SHO this morning and he mentioned there are a few guys who are closer (than me) that are planning on bringing pop up tents.

I'm still in, because this is really the only time of the year that I get to see everyone face to face, which to me, is much more rewarding than any aspects of the event itself.

I mean what's better than getting one's jabs in, and personal jokes in, in person I ask?

All of the above stated, I will report that this will be the 1st time in many many months, in which I've driven my SHO (purposely) in inclimate weather.

I do wonder how some of those Mustang owners and others who have trailer queens, will respond to their whips being positioned out in the rain. I suspect some of "those types" will cancel and/or pull out of the event entirely.

But as for me, I am finally done handling all of my household $h!t now, including an emergency basement flooding that occurred late yesterday afternoon, so all I have left remaining, is to load up the car now (& refrain from to much beer drinking today) in preparation for the long drive out.

Setting my alarm for 3am, and hoping to be on the road by 4am (CDT).

See some of you tomorrow! :thumb:

Looks like most, if not all of our cars will be being left completely closed up, doors/windows/engine hoods/& trunks etc.

So much for viewing and voting.

Oh well. I'll be glad to see everyone regardless and will line all of you b!tche$ up (both Male and Female, and those Undecided) for long loving hugs accordingly.

I'll stand over the open trunk with an umbrella for you to ogle accordingly.

And I'll be sure to bring a couple of extra junk towels to lay out in the foot well(s) so you can sit inside it and experience an "EAR-GAZM".

LOL.

My wife got a good chuckle out of the identifying as a paperclip comment.

You made her happy! Bonus! :thumb:

What a bunch of pessimists! All the weather I am hearing is yes we are going to get rain tonight and Thursday, but Friday and Saturday are both scattered showers and ever Thursday none of these are all day events.  So stop with the Debbie Downer stuff on the weather and think sun and blue skies! They are saying mostly cloudy but I can live with cloudy and dry....so far no rain in Lewisburg, however there was a light shower earlier this evening in Lewistown, which  is about 20  miles closer to Carlisle but things dried up quickly.

Current weather in Carlisle area showing very, very light scattered showers...chance of thundershowers this afternoon and tonight.  Scattered thundershowers tomorrow and Saturday looks like AM showers but and OK afternoon (so far).  BPD should not have much rain once he gets east of Pittsburgh this afternoon.  Drive safe everyone!

A sweltering, hot, humid 1st day to the National's. Sweating like pigs in the sahara.

We're all hiding in the shade. Weather's been cooperating thus far, least as far as the rain.

Quite a few have shown up thus far. Given it's a Friday and all.

Few craptastic cell phone pics for the time being.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/9e6e5de7c6a96be034b46a1eb8a45764.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/a40a51887b6d9af047ea7a53762a757b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/a8d719ec353412686d330f7ece7507ef.jpg)

Yes, it was awesome to finally put faces and shake hands with some of the regulars on the forum such a BPD1151, mjhpadi, marksho. Mybigsho, Bamsho, others!!

Great group of guys (you should see the texts...) who obviously love their SHO's too!

And yes, I had to bounce out early both days as I was with my Dad who can't hang like he used too, and wanted to be respectful of his needs.

Can't wait to do it again that's for sure! Although I'm not sure my butt can handle another bear hug from Mike...

You'd think given the amount of events that that facility hosts each year, spread across multiple platforms, both foreign and domestic, that the Carlisle staff would have every single one of those roads repaved, marked properly, and heck, the grass cut too.

Aye yai yai..... smh.

Especially the amount of spectacular cars that visit each day of each event.

Re-investment in one's property is a necessity IMHO.

great pic mike. it is surprising that carlisle doesn't do something considering they have both ford & mopar nationals. lots of $$ coming into a town. how does a town of around 20000 get both has always been my question. although grass is nice for hot shows.

I was happy to see your car make the story, but since it drew spectators to it like moths to a flame, it would have been almost impossible not to include it.  What a great experience to watch all the reactions the car received.  Just to hang with the car and you was more than worth the cost of doing the parade.
Count me in for next year!

Now it is on to the Carlisle Select building for you and the car next year....keep us abreast as this develops.

Yeah, I was giving this the once over but I would have had a heck of a time explaining why this car was in the driveway when she got home from her trip, but I would have LOVED to have brought it home....

Sometimes better to ask for forgiveness than permission....

That's how I got my first SHO... but somehow ended up buying her a Jeep in recompense...

Yeah I love em too.  The SBF is what got me into fords in general.  If plan stay as they are, the gloves come off on this one come dec/jan.  I have been considering a repaint, and yellow in on the short list, as is grabber blue and orange.  Maybe grabber yellow, but most I have seen are to pale for my goal.

Not with my wife..found out that forgiveness is not easier than permission when I tried that with a Honda Silver Wing motorcycle....she was hell on wheels...it is the downside of being married to a woman who was also a CO.....

Yeah I am a sucker for the old pushrod motors, so mine is last of the 5.0 pushrods.  How's that mod motor been for you?

I haven't had the Mustang a year at this point but the old 4.6 seems to be doing OK.  I had two other Triton V8's but they were the 5.4's. The first gen 2 valve in my F-150 and the 2nd gen in my Lincoln Mark LT.  Both were very sluggish but so is the 4.6 in the Mustang..don't know whether it's the age and mileage or just the nature of the Tritons.  I am betting the 5.0 (302) is a much stouter engine in performance than the Triton.

Ehh not at this age and honestly the 4.6 was a stronger motor out of the gate.  Even the stock ones responded very well to a bit of boost.  Throw 8# at it and hold on...  Only 150k miles on mine, but she is pretty tired.  Can't wait to tear into her this winter.  Right now the plan is 347, though 408 has crossed my mind too.
