Hotel Accommodations:
The following link (Country Inn) will bring you to where many of us are staying. As of yesterday (Monday, 4/14/2008) , there were only thirty four (34) rooms left open for July 12, 2008. I suggest you make your reservations as soon as possible as many other motels in the area are already booked for the show weekend.
The Country Inn is close to the Fairgrounds, clean and fairly new. This would be a great hotel for all Crossfires to unite the Friday evening or Saturday morning of the show!
There is a great .25 car wash near by for pre-show touch ups.
Country Inn - 4943 Gettysburg Road , Mechanicsburg PA 17055

"It's just a car" A few thoughts about Carlisle and our Crossfire's. - 07-08-2007 , 09:37 AM
I'm sitting here going through "Carlisle withdrawal" this morning. It was a long wait for the Nationals to get here and for me at least it was over way too soon. It was great to see all the Chrysler products new and old, pretty and not so pretty but the best part of the day was under the Chrysler tent in our section meeting all of you that were there and putting faces with screen names. I want to thank JD and Andrew for getting everybody there. I've always thought my Crossfire was special, there were over 2 dozen other Crossfires that gave me ideas and dreams for next year, you guys truly have some of the most unique and beautiful cars on the road. Riding up to Carlisle yesterday was a blast, even though I can't seem to drive fast enough,
I don't think I saw another Crossfire except our four.
When I left the event yesterday and came back home I saw a ton of vettes, 350's, beamers but in a two hour drive in pretty heavy traffic the only Crossfire I saw was leaving Carlisle right outside the gate and it wasn't one that was in our group.
So last night I dropped my wife off at her meeting (my weekly commitment and we go to dinner afterwards) and I decided to put the seat back (volvo, sorry guys) and take a nap while she went to her meeting.
Just as I dozed off I heard a car door shut, familiar sounding car door. I opened my eyes and a well dressed, mid 30's couple got out of a red Crossfire and went in the building. My wife had told me there was someone 'with a car like yours'. Being the nosey person I am I wandered over to the car. It was filthy, front wheels caked with break dust only neglect could cause. It broke my heart to see that. I shook my head, went back to the car and closed my eyes. When Sharon came out she asked if I had spoken to them, she spotted the car right away. No I said I don't think they "get it" anyway. She looked at me funny and asked what do you mean...it's filthy, they don't know what they have, I don't know what I say to them? I have one too and maybe you should consider taking care of it?
To that she said "its just a car Pat". That kind of bothered me for the rest of the evening because I got a bit misty seeing the pink and white '56 Dodge yesterday in the same room as all the Chrysler prototype cars, the car I learned to drive in and got my driver's license in. It was probably 'just a car' to some but to me it had a lot of memories of 41 summers ago.
So last night, in the wee hours when I was trying to go to sleep it came to me. Yes its just a car but the two dozen + folks that showed up yesterday with their Crossfires, they made them something more than just a car, something in each of us makes them so special and unique.
I can't wait for next year. Thanks guys and girls it was great meeting all of you.
