I just checked WGAL's forecast (Carlisle tv) and they're saying
Thurs. 84, humid and showers
Friday 86 and nice and sunny
Saturday 84 with increasing clouds
Sunday 82 and "Irene?"
National weather service has us at thunderstorms Thursday, rain Friday and Irene Saturday and Sunday.
So flip a coin.
What really sucks is that I'll be driving Thursday and the car will look like crap when I get there. And no place to really clean it up.
Thurs. 84, humid and showers

I have decided to just go up for the day on Friday... just cancelled my hotel room for the weekend. I'm going up with my garage queen this year on a trailer and would rather avoid any potential weather related issues.
I'll see everyone tomorrow!

Friday will be good and Saturday only 30% scattered T storms. May not even get any rain. Sunday is a different story. I'll leave Saturday night though will probably hit it on the way home.

Carlisle #30 in the books - Friday was excellent (albeit hot and muggy in the afternoon). All the best to those who tempted fate and waited until today and Sunday to attend. 
The hatches here are battened down and we're in wait mode - Irene scheduled to hit MD around 5PM thru 1AM Sunday. Folks in the Carolinas and VA already getting hammered. Good luck NY.

We decided to stay here in Carlisle rather than try to outrun Irene to make it home to Boston. We are riding it out here and will follow the storm on Monday? Our hotel has quite a few electric power bucket trucks parked in the lot. Do you think they're anticipating any problems here?! Maybe we'll be damned that we stayed or damned if we left.
Hope everyone makes it through Irene without too many problems.

Lower turnout today but I think a lot of the day trippers stayed home. Came off PA turnpike from hotel about 7:45 and breezed right into Gate 3, which wasn't the case Friday.. never did that before. Weather, as noted was great Friday, overcast and humid today. I bailed in afternoon after canceling hotel, was clear weather back towards Philly until Morgantown, then hit rain, suspect the Parade didn't happen, but don't know. Some vendors were packing up and bailing or finding storge for show cars.
I got a good day and 3/4 in, would have liked to gotten the full 3 days in but saw a lot of great cars and friends and made a few new ones. Hell, even a short stay is better than nothing. Will be there next year, as always. 
And if you haven't seen the Quest movie, it is outstanding, really excellent. Well worth the money and supports the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation.
