Early planning 2014 Ford Nationals - Carlisle
- Thread starter 4DRHTRD
- Start date
Glad you brought this up...I meant with another SHO guy (bamsho) about getting an early start. He would like to start working on getting a list together of people who are coming and we thought that getting several of the SHO/Taurus forums together for one club and getting a tent would work best on getting us an infield spot. I know there has been some contact with Ford concerning the show, since next year is the 25th anniversary for the SHO. I understand that Ford has not had much response to the inquiries...we were hoping that maybe someone with a Ford connection could help move this along. Also we are dealing with next year being Mustang's 50th anniversary (although in my book it's not until 2015...since initial Mustangs were not called 64 1/2 but '65's) Anyway, to have a club tent the cost is $175.00...not sure how to raise the money if people feel a tent would be a bonus. I think it would be nice to have enough people commit and register for the show by the end of the year that we could then figure out what else we could do. Also we do have information on motels/hotels if people are going to need that info. But several people are involved in getting this rolling, and anyone that wants to help is welcome...but it's in the works to at least get us an infield spot for this show.
Mark I think this is close enough to my home turf to be really appealing. I've got a buddy who has a '13 SEL. I had him seriously lusting for a SHO but he kept getting sticker shock and settled for the less expensive model. I'm going to see if he'd like to drive out with me and check out the event. Sounds like a great time!! If we get a club tent, do we get to park together in a SHO area?
Larry, since as of now, that's the plan, but we are not going to be exclusively SHO, we are also planning on including Taurus/Sables from guys at Taurus Car Club of America, so we can be sure to have enough people to have an infield spot at the show...we would all be able to park together. If you've never been to Carlisle it's an amazing event, it is worth the trip just to see it once, even if you don't care for it. But it's even more fun when everyone can park in one spot and just spend some time together.

As we get a little more info together, I'll try to come up with some ideas, I think first thing is to get you guys the info on registering...I will talk with Brian(bamsho) this week, and post contact info within the next few days. For those of you who are ready to commit...would you like to register individually under a club name or would you like someone to take care of registering...however, I'm not sure how paying would work...I know that as a club the people have to pay when they register.
I would like to be at the event 4 sure, but regardless, I will be happy to chip in for the club tent. It is unfortunate that the 25th anniversary of the Taurus platform has come and gone, but we need to work on a backup plan (as a SHO community on here and SHOforum.com at least) in case Ford does not come through at all. But I have to say that I feel that Ford will step up if they hear enough of a ruckus from us!

I think the Taurus 25th (1986) was 2011 and the SHO 25th (1989) will be 2014. Right?

I'll definitely be there since Carlisle is a hop and skip from me.
Hi guys, sorry about get here late, here is the info for next years 2014 Carlisle. Havent heard back from FORD, so will have to try to figure something out. I have a design for a tshirt for the event I my head, just need to get in on paper. This is from my friend Terri H, from SHOforum, she usually gets the tent, but got stuck one year, so hasn't gotten since. She said contacts have changed at Carlisle, I'll let her work on it from her end there. I'll let everyone know if I here anything new.

2014 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals TENT THREAD
This is the earliest Carlisle post in history!
Several people have discussed wanting to do something special for 2014 for the 25th anniversary. I'll leave those details to a separate thread.
The main thing to keep in mind is that early registration not only guarantees us a better spot on the SHOwfield, it ensures we have enough room for all participants to be together and with 25+ we get a free tent.
I've opened this now so it is here once folks start to register. Registration is available now but it is $49.50 (10% discount - until 5/5/14). In years past there has been an "early bird" registration in the fall, which is usually cheaper by $10 or more. (I think they push it as a Christmas present idea.)
**Whoever catches the "sale" first, please give this thread a bump.**

And can we get this event to be a sticky or a banner/link on every page so it is an always-on reminder?

Just pm your infomation when you register, so I can get a list started. I will work on contacting Carlisle people about next year when this seasons of shows ends, and give FORD another shout. I mean come on they did something for Merkur cars they should do something for us. Any of you good and tshirt design, I have on in my head, but cant draw for crap.
Could we use the logo from here http://store.carlisleevents.com/v/vspfiles/photos/categories/Ford_Lg.jpg and link it to the event page here http://store.carlisleevents.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=24? Since this is for the purpose of purchasing from Carlisle events, we should be ok with copyright? Otherwise, I will work on a logo/banner.
