CAR "TECH" REQUIREMENTS

Here is what will be required to pass the technical inspection. Essentially if your car can pass a state inspection, it should pass tech. Please be sure to check your over carefully before coming. It would be a shame not to be able to run because of something small.

Engine compartment: no leaks, fluids okay, belts tight, throttle free, no cheap tape on hoses.

Brakes: fluid clean, full.

Brake lights/signals: operational

Battery: mounted securely

Wipers: functional

Tires: Autocross: legal tread, no cuts, no cord showing, no dry rot.Drift: no tire requirements

Wheels: no missing lugnuts. Torque will be checked during tech.

Interior: all loose items removed, glove box empty, floor mats removed,

Restraints – factory seat belts are acceptable.

Fire Extinguisher – optional, but if present must be securely mounted

Trunk : emptied, and secured

Helmet: SA2000/M2000 ratings or newer. No cracks. DOT/SAE (only) rated helmets are not acceptable,

Gas cap : present and secured.___________________________________________________________VOLUNTEERSSome of you may think the staff here gets paid, WE DONT!We do this all for the love of the community....

Since this is a free event, we’ll need volunteers to make it happen.Volunteers are naturally welcome to drive. But with the track open for so many hours, we’ll need everyone to volunteer some time. Here are the areas where we are asking for volunteer help

Tech inspector: working a simple checklist, don’t need to be a mechanic.

Registration: checking in attendees, signing waivers, assigning car numbers, issuing wristbands.

Corner workers: for safety, picking up cones, reporting knocked over cones, watching for debris, spin outs, fluids, etc.

Starter: In charge of safety, launches drivers. Coordinates with corner workers.

OTHER DETAILS

You will go through tech prior to registration. Tech is located at the NICOfest tent just outside the entrance to the paddock. Once you,your car, and your helmet pass tech, you then register at the same tent, where you will sign waivers and be issued a wrist band and a number for your car. The number is to be taped to the inside of the driver side rear window. Please wear the wrist band for the duration of the event.

If your car already has a number, we will let you use it, but please let us know that number when you register, so we don't give it out to someone else.

You only need to register once for the duration of the event.

The Carlisle main gates will open at 8am both days. the official address is as follows:.

Carlisle Fairgrounds1000 Bryn Mawr RoadCarlisle PA 17013-1588REGISTER HERE: Carlisle Events

Carlisle is just west of Harrisburg PA. convenient to the PA turnpike andI-81.

The track is located on the north side of the property, and can be seen from the PA turnpike. Once you come thru the gate into the fairgrounds, and pass the buildings, you will turn left and head for the big tent.

The track itself an out-and-back asphalt course with a grass infield. There are some on and off camber turns that make this course much more interesting than a normal parking lot autocross setup. It is a second gear course. You should find it easy to navigate, but challenging to get thru fast. There will also be a lot of spectators which adds to the excitement. Both the track and paddock are fenced in.

We will publish the autocross/drift schedules as soon as they get finalized. The drifting will be featured by the show so expect plenty of spectators.

To register for the Performance and style show itself, please refer to Carlisle's Registration page. This will get you credentials to get into the show. Once you are inside, if you are registered for the track event, simply come on down to the paddock and check in. There is also plenty of parking if you choose not to run on the track.

You may bring a guest into the paddock with you as long they register the same way as you did. Non registered guests must pay to enter the paddock. It will be $15 per non registered guest to enter the paddock.That's it for now, please stay tuned in case of any changes or announcements.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask here. We hope you will join us at the Carlisle Performance and Style show for some extra special fun with your car

Throw me on the list for a hotel room..... And if you could make sure there are 2 girls in the room when I arrive that would be great

Cant wait heard its the s***!!!!

Better call 'em now and book it while the lodge rooms are still available! Tracy wasn't working when I called and I spoke to the guy. When you call to make the reservations, don't have them transfer you. They need to do the booking of the lodge rooms at the front desk so you guys know.

As for the girls, sure..I'll have 2 waiting for you..They're hot! Here's a pic of them from last year...

[toxik]

wow everyone i know is on there except me.... i blame BRIAN. thanks for putting surman and not me... wad

BTW Brian, WHY!!!!! did you have to post this 136 days in advance?!!!

Now its all that I can think about, and it's soooooo far away. Great times, and I wasn't there most of the time that you guys were.

Reading through those old threads cracked me up. I lol'ed at when Dan was talking about Michele being "all talk, and no show" to the event. Who would have thought only 7 odd months later that her and Ryan would be moving in my house

That just goes to show how great this forum is. Since Carlisle, I have met many more people from this site (mostly Gen Chat folks) and have still yet to meet a person that I didn't like.
