Default Carlisle 2017 - Road Trip from New Jersey - Anyone going Saturday morning?

I was wondering if anyone is taking the drive over to Carlisle this Saturday morning around 8:00AM or 8:30AM? I know it's a little late but if I start my car at 6AM, my neighbors will put me in jail lol

If anyone wants to meet up, we can leave from Panera Bread on 165 Route 4 West in Paramus.

F the neighbors. It's going to be jam packed Saturday. Get there as early as you can.

I wish man - I've got pure Headers, x-pipe, Corsa EXTREMES, PTB, BMS Filter, so at 6am it literally sounds like someone threw bricks along with some mini-dynamite sticks and shattered all their front windows and shook their whole house.

Starting up that early will probably be considered an act of war with the neighbors and they might burn my house down before I even return from Carlisle LOL

Great description of their reaction!!
If they do burn it down, take the insurance check and buy in the country where tractors make more noise, problem solved for next year!

Seriously though, you will get caught in a lot of traffic, likely will not be able to get in to park the Vette on the grounds, and not have a lot of time to spend before driving back.

I agree with others; risk it, and pull out much earlier!

Either way, have fun, the weather looks great!

Thanks Marty!! I forgot to mention that I already have the NCCC Judged ShowField pass in my hand so I'm not worried about parking space. I'll try to head out earlier if possible. I'm staying overnight so I've got time. If Callaway is offering at least 30% off for their 30 year anniversary Special, I'll write the check on the spot!

Last call. Meeting up with a friend and driving down in the morning. He's bringing his limited edition C7.R!
