Twisty Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hopefully I will still be here in the area to go in July to this show. If anyone cares I found hotels.com has a hotel for $48 a night at Super 8 which is 27 mins away from the event itself. I want to see if people want to join up in Pittsburgh and all ride over together the rest of the way. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanie Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Your talking about Carlisle Pennsylvania?? That would be a pretty good ride from Columbus. My parents live about an hour from there, my dad goes down to the car show every year. I may be interested, but I will be staying at my parents house if I make the trek.

ReconRat Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I kinda like streetfighters... hmm, 5.5 hours and 350 miles straight East on I-70...Sounds like a "leave town at 4am" type of ride to get there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us that have seen it would guess that it has a good chance of winning something. The registration for that contest appears to be limited.

Meanie Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Ok, I think I am going to make the trip, however I am going to stay at my parents house. I think I am leaving early Thursday morning that way I have time to rest a bit before walking around all day. Here is my plan below.Leaving Pataskala around 8am on 7/22.Riding to Cabelas on the other side of Wheeling. We will probably hang out at Cabelas for an hour or 2, and grab lunch in that area.Ride to New Stanton and stop for a break.Hop on the PA Turnpike and ride out and possibly stop at one of the rest areas. I will be exiting at the Fort Littleton exit.Anyone interested in riding along is more than welcome. You would be able to continue on the PA turnpike to exit 226. Exit 226 is the Carlisle exit. I am trying to break the trip up into 1.5 to 2 hours blocks. Map Quest has travel time as 5 hours and 43 minutes to Carlisle. I know its awhile before the event, but just trying to get a rough outline of my plans. Edited February 10, 2010 by Meanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMadame Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 The guys from Canada are probably going to be here Thurs night, so we'll probably leave early Fri morning. Hoping to stay Sun night/come back early Monday, but that's going to depend on everybody's work schedules (or lack thereof). We'll see.
