Thinking about it. I didn't go for the last 2 years, and I usually go every other year.

I'm trying to get together some engine parts to sell and maybe I can get them sold before then and it will be a more enjoyable trip.

Your wife may be pleasantly surprised. I took my wife before I had my Corvette, and she really liked it. She said to me afterward, " I think it would be cool to have one of those C3 corvettes-they are my favorite"!!!
The weather has a lot to do with a person enjoying Carlisle. Excessive heat in the fairgrounds is a bear. Some years are just perfect; some aren't.
Take her along!!!

Yep, going again this year. It actually feels good to have a hotel room already and not having to do the last minute search.

I am not going this year - nothing I particularly want or need. That does not make me crazy.
