Well, I’m riding high having just come back from the Ford Nationals, and I just registered for the Carlisle Truck Nationals August 7-9. Come join me!

It’s up to @Jim Oaks if he wants to make this an official TRS event, but I will welcome anyone who comes, and I’m happy to host (health permitting). A few thoughts:
It’s $15/day or $25/weekend pass (plus at least $10/day parking) to come as a visitor without parking your truck inside
Judged Showfield is $80 for the weekend. Non-judged Showfield is $65 for the weekend. The only two ways to get your truck inside.
There is a 10% discount that ends on June 15, a week from now
I will be in the judged Showfield in category 910 which is “miscellaneous 2WD and low riders” officially, also known as “F’d up 2WD crazy crap that nobody else has and won’t fit in a normal category” category. 915 is the same thing for 4WD. It’s a great location for just seeing what’s going on and seeing all the vehicles: it’s just inside Gate #3 across from the wash station, I think one row back in the red show field.
So I had this idea if other folks want to come. The difference between the judged field and the non-judged field is $15. So you can park right in the middle of the action for $15 more than being buried out by the fence a mile away. I’m thinking everybody in the group would fit into one or the other category, so if you can spring for the extra $15, we can all sort of be together anyway. I’ll bet the two miscellaneous categories are side-by-side.
I’m staying in a hotel because of my crappy body, but I know most of you guys usually camp. I have one of those 10 x 10 canopy things, but mine is ancient and you have to assemble all the rods and such, but I’ll bring it. If somebody else has one, between the two we’ll have plenty of room in the shade for a whole bunch of people.
If you’re thinking about it, PM me and I’ll give you my phone number, and we can chat
My plan is to drive up Thursday, be there early on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday at least until they announce awards. If I win or anybody else wins, I’ll hang around for the presentation and then head home.
And hey, if I can come from Atlanta, it’s a short hop for most of you guys. And it is a testosterone pumping TRUCK show, you won’t be bothered by all the wimpy vehicles…
And Jim, if we get a few more takers, maybe you could ship me a banner and I’ll ship it back to you when we’re done. Either way, I’ll make sure there’s a TRS info sign with the QR code.
