[T-Bohn]

Woot !!

[brummy]

Hmm....will already be home in western pa for the fourth....and on paternity leave......Amish baked goods.....

[cordes]

OK. Who is going to Carlisle after SDAC this year?

[85boostbox]

7 hour drive for me... Hmmm

[cudagirl77]

If we make it to SDAC then absolutely we'll go to Carlisle afterwards.

[Johnny]

If we make it to SDAC then absolutely we'll go to Carlisle afterwards.

Same here. And say "if" only because we never know the future.
MY plans are to drive the Consulier there with my friend George.

Look forward to BOTH.

[iTurbo]

To get to SDAC and back this year would mean devoting 4 days of vacation just for the drive there and back. Doesn't look good but I might have a way yet. I have a brother in VA not too far away that I might make a combi vacation out of.

I didn't know we were friends but I accept the opportunity to drive the Consulier ;)

I've request the week off. I plan on going to Carlisle if I make it to SDAC.

Drag racing at Maplegrove?!

A road rally in that part of the country should be awesome. My wife lived in Pottstown before we got married. We considered moving to Reading before I got a job in Detroit...

I hope the road rally goes through Blue Balls,Climax and Intercourse!

[Reaper1]

I am currently trying to work out how to get there. It's going to be budget really. I have the time to take.

[Gearhead24-7]

I hope the road rally goes through Blue Balls,Climax and Intercourse!

Wouldn't that be Blue Balls, Intercourse then Climax? Unless you have a problem with pre....nevermind.

[168glhs1986]

This years SDAC will be EPIC

[krut]

Get your hotel rooms now.

[cudagirl77]

Do we know the hotel yet for SDAC? For Carlisle you definitely need to book now.

[83scamp]

Does anybody know the scoop on the on-site camping spots at Carlisle? Debating on doing the whole week, and my Dad wants to go too. He has a big RV, and camping for the weekend at Carlisle is only $35 per site, if you enter the show. We'll need 2 for his big setup, I'm assuming it's all primitive camping... Never been to Carlisle before...

Also, I hope they post up camping options for SDAC as well, if we're taking that big rig out there, we're going to camp the whole week...

[cudagirl77]

Not sure about Carlisle but I know they say no trailer parking in the campground area

[Spiritman]

Any hotel in particular we plan to stay at for carlisle??

[moparman76_69]

I'd like to book the same place for both. It'd make it easier not to have to change hotels.

[Spiritman]

Its an hour away?

[sdac guy]

I'd like to book the same place for both. It'd make it easier not to have to change hotels.There may be problems with this. First off, it looks like Lancaster and Carlisle are 80+ miles apart with Harrisburg in between them. From Harrisburg to Carlisle is about 20 miles.

The motels in and around Carlisle charge almost double their normal rate for the days of the event. It is not unusual to see rates of $130 or more per night in Carlisle.

To stay outside of Carlisle has another problem. In the morning, driving from the turnpike to the Carlisle fairgrounds is 10-15 minutes. In the evening going the other way, with everyone else leaving at about the same time, that same drive is often more than an hour (it is stop & go the entire distance). Now I haven't been to Carlisle in a few years, but friends I know that still go, say not much has changed in that regard.

And I should add, that staying at the SDAC host hotel for the SDAC event should certainly be highly considered. There is so much going on at the host hotel that driving from it every evening makes it seem like "I'm really missing out on something."

Barry

[moparman76_69]

Yeah I made that mistake I definitely want to stay at the host hotel for the SDAC weekend.

[168glhs1986]

I'd like to book the same place for both. It'd make it easier not to have to change hotels.

Didn't see everyone else post here. But yes not convenient.

[fishcleaner]

Lancaster has one main road, rt.30, and is very touristy, which is good for families but traffic is bad and being Fourth of July week, it will probably be worse. Make sure your cooling system is working well.

[contraption22]

I'd like to book the same place for both. It'd make it easier not to have to change hotels.

True, but know that you will be spending a good amount of time in the car if you do that. Book your rooms for Carlisle ASAP as pretty soon, Lancaster may be as close as you will get.

[jans6pkrt]

I will be there for sdac not for Carlisle, see you all there, maybe we will see the Amish mafia, be on the look out for Levi lol

[moparman76_69]

Yeah looks like Carlisle is out for me. 800-1000 for a hotel for 4 days is too rich for my blood. Still going to try and do SDAC though.

[cudagirl77]

Econolodge in Mechanicsburg isn't too far and is $82 per night. Book a hotel in Mechanicsburg, PA

Just as an example. A king room is a little less.

[BadAssPerformance]

SDAC-25 Host Hotel in process... please hold. It will be a bit far from Carlisle but focused around the SDAC-25 event locations.

For Carlisle, if anyone has a hot ticket for a decent place to stay that is not overpriced with a bunch of rooms available please e-mail to jt@sdac.org

[Johnny]

I am staying here for Carlisle....

Rodeway Inn
1239 Harrisburg Pike,
Carlisle, PA, US, 17013
+1 (717) 249-2800

[cudagirl77]

Econolodge looks good. They have 8-Non-smoking double queen rooms $89, 8-non-smoking single king rooms $79, 2-smoking double queens $84. It's about 15 miles from the fairgrounds.

[Sgt Craig]

Try Rodeway inn in New Cumberland,Pa my room is $59,its nice,clean and 2nd gen neon guys stay next door at motel 6.i stayed there last year.I dont mind driving a bit to save a few hundred dollars.Hotels in carlisle are stupid exspensive during show season.

[cudagirl77]

66 miles to New Columbia? Seems a bit too far?

[moparman76_69]

I booked a Motel 6 near the fairgrounds for Saturday and Sunday.

[cudagirl77]

Looks like no rooms left at Motel 6 Carlisle. :(

[Spiritman]

Reaper1 and i are staying at rodeway inn
shippensburg pa
so i am making this a reccomended place to stay.

Sorry its New Cumberland!I always mix them up,lol.

[cudagirl77]

Looks like Roadway in New Cumberland might be sold out. No prices available.

[cudagirl77]

What's their rates?

Shippensburg Roadway price is $68 for two doubles and 69.50 for single king

[Spiritman]

Oh. Sorry about that. It is about $75 as it tells me it is $82 canadian.
it wont tell me in american.

[omniac]

Lancaster PA is about 14 hours drive for me - so somewhat doable. From previous experiences, how rowdy is the host hotel at night? What nightly rate can I expect to pay?

Wife and I would like to try to get down this year, but not convinced I need to stay in host hotel, especially since wifey won't want to do SDAC 24/7.

Any fellow Atlantic Canadian planning on attending ?

[cordes]

IMo the atmosphere has been pretty mild in the hotel lot over the last couple of years. I think we're starting to act our age to an extent. I would add that there is a pretty decent contingent of women at the convention every year so the lady in your life should be able to have a great time IMO.

Encouraging words, thanks ! Atlantic Nationals is scheduled July 9-12, so I need to decide if I can attend both and if I want the Daytona to make the trip to SDAC or take the family sedan. I haven't had the Daytona out for more than a 300 mile trip in 1 day before - but I can't imagine attending my 1st SDAC event without my car.

[Force Fed Mopar]

Do we have a host hotel named yet?

Several of my favorite folks to see each year have never brought a TM in the time that I've known them. That goes back to SDAC 17 at this point.

Boostn came last year with an Eagle Talon! Granted it's a turbo, but not a Shelby. :)

A fair chunk of the folks that attend SDAC don't have Shelby's... I'll be driving my Scamp this year. It is neither a Shelby, or a turbo... I thought the whole point was to support the FWD Mopar community as a whole????:confused2:

[contraption22]

I've never owned a Shelby car, numbered or otherwise. I've only missed one convention since 2003.

[omniac]

"Shelby" Daytona here....living in Atlantic Canada I've seen maybe 1 true numbered car...regardless, would like to bring the daytona if I have the confidence it would make the long trip. I'm not handy enough to diagnose and fix an issue if it stranded me on the road - may opt for the peace of mind and take the wifes 2010 sebring (with a/c) or the pt cruiser so I can load up with some spare parts....we'll see. Besides, trying to maintain the daytona in car show clean mode for 4 days is also a PITA !

[85boostbox]

I plan on taking my Silverado SS lol.

I may bring the Birthday car again not sure, but if not, for sure the 89 CSX, But I have a 87 CSX now so maybe it seems like there is not very many 87's show up so that maybe the one

[moparzrule]

If anyone feels like breaking out the tents they are welcome to stay on my property. I do have some major stipulations.....no alcohol or smoking on my property, nothing illegal of course, limit foul language if my kids are outside playing, and quiet after 10pm (local ordinance actually). I realize that cuts it down to like 3% of the turbo mopar crowd, but the offer is out there and will cost you nothing to stay here. I'm 5 minutes drive from the fairgrounds and I'll even leave the side door open for morning and evening bathroom usage. I have a fair amount of land to spread out many tents and accomodate 6-8 cars for parking (and 2-3 trucks with trailers).

PM me if you need a free place to crash and can follow these simple rules :)

[2.216VTurbo]

You didn't being that!


WhatchuTalkingAboutWillis??? I drag raced it, I autocrossed it, Jackson and I spent hours and hours under the hood of it wrenching on it, and I did countless burnouts in it. I was there with my TM:amen: Now if you're saying I'm not one of your favorite SDAC attendees, well that's a different story:p

Ugg, when I looked at the thumbnail pic I thought it was from SDAC that year. That pic was taken a couple months after at the Irwindale drags. Bait and switch! I call foul:o

Well, I'll still be pumped to see Chris the Grim Reaper. I will be devastated that he is apparently no longer a body double for Kirk Hammett though.

[Force Fed Mopar]

I think I will be going this year also, already have the time off if I want it. Depends if I can get a car ready for it by then. The Lebaron runs but is 3 years of beating on it is starting to show in the engine and suspension. Considering throwing my running stock V6 into Project Lookout and taking it so Chris Grimm can see it actually running :D but, it only has 2 seats and I think my wife and daughter both want to come along. Decisions decisions. Last SDAC I went to was 17 in Pittsburgh, and I swore I'd not go again unless I could take my own car.

I suppose trailering it with the Durango is an option, but my fuel bill would be considerably higher :(

[Reaper1]

We are actually really casual at work. I *could* get away with jeans and a t-shirt, but I have too many meetings with higher level management, so I wear khakis and a collared Polo or golf shirt. Don't need the pocket protector...usually don't have a shirt pocke! lol

Oh. Sorry about that. It is about $75 as it tells me it is $82 canadian.

King or double queen? :banana-mario:

Thats a lot of days off you guys are taking. I don't get many days off, at least I can't be forced into O.T. on the 4th of July weekend. Wife is pushing a trip to the islands pretty hard and if I say no, I definitely can't buy a truck :yuck: That would be a terrible drive if we actually drove to PA.

Geez it would be like 15 whole miles for me... Ive always herd of how cool these events are Im looking forward to this one! Hoping to have the Omni done but might be the SRT4. I always extend this offer to out of towners but if anything goes wrong my shop is your shop I cant say my 8v car parts collection is as extensive as my neon stash but Ill try 10 years of neon events and we've only had to break out the trailers once. If the organizers need help with rally routes or anything of the sort Im very local and happy to help in anyway.

I'm sure I'm not the only one anxious to know and try to make plans.

I'm working out hotel details... in between working 11-12hr days at the day job... PLEASE be patient my friends, we will have info ready in a couple weeks!

[168glhs1986]

12 hour days? If you dont own the company JT you need to find a new job.

Oh wait, you probably don't work weekends thou ;)

[BadAssPerformance]

LOL, no doubt Mike.... Nope, don't own it, but have been here 21 years and drive to succeed. We just have a lot of projects launching all at once and of course delay in getting support, weekends are only e-mails usually... its not like this all year... I hope.

Has anyone made any reservations at any local hotels yet? While we're waiting for the host hotel to be announced I figure I might as well make some reservations that I can at least cancel afterwards.....July 4th weekend will be busy enough - don't want to wait until last second to get a decent price on a room.

[BadAssPerformance]

Host hotel details coming together, we should have a decent rate and sufficient amount of rooms...

Haven't posted in forever but I figured I'd pop in and say that I'll be there!

Good luck to all who are getting ready! I still have to wait for the body shop to paint and reassemble my car before I can even get to my checklist. I doubt anything will be ready for Carlisle. :(

Also, I plan on being there this year.

[82 Rampage]

Well, we planned on brining both cars again this year, but if I don't get this problem figured out soon so I have time to get it painted before then. Running hot only over about 45-50 mph when it's over 80°, I think it's the aftermarket fan that I installed late last fall restricting air flow @ road speed. Once I slow down, the temp comes right back down and even sitting @ stop lights in hot weather it's fine.

When did you do the timing belt last? Someone had a similar problem last year and it ended up being a severely stretched and or jumped belt.

Hi everyone. As some of you know I have been taking my 83 Shelby Charger to SDAC for many years since I bought it in 83 but this year I plan on attending with my son's 87 GLHS. He has been gone with the Air Force for the past 4 years and the car just sits in the garage begging to go to SDAC since we finished it 4 years ago. He has many people to thank for it's completion since we finished it while he was gone. We are really excited for you all to see it. I am looking forward to seeing you all this year. A few of us are leaving from Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon. Anyone is welcome to caravan with us. (it will be a turbo caravan!) Bill

I hate to be one pressing for info since I know the guys are working hard on this, but I too would like some. I really need to plan out my trip more carefully this year since I will be traveling with a kid. I would love to do Carlisle too, but I need to have SDAC set in stone in order to make that decision.

Well the dates and location have been set so you should be able to book your trip. The only think left is hotel which there will be rooms to book at, it's not like they fill up in the first hour. The SDACs I've gone to have have always had very reasonably price accommodations so I can't imagine it being extremely different. I've booked my flight since I know the dates and that is the hardest thing for me to get.

[wheming]

I'm going to try like hell to go this year with Mini. If you get here to NC you can co-pilot if you want. Wife will be visiting family, so most likely not coming to SDAC.

Come down to NC and help me get Mini in shape! ;)

[Aries_Turbo]

you coming this year gary?

worked on it again today.

used an old subaru fuel pump and a 32oz cup and pumped CLR through the fuel lines. they were rusty inside. i looped the feed and return together under the car and bypassed the fuel filter with clear vinyl hose. lots of rusty nasty stuff came out.

then i flushed them with the garden hose. then i grabbed another old subaru fuel pump and cleaned out the 32oz cup and pumped wd40 through the same setup. tank was clean minus 3 small rust spots inside. wire brushed them with a fine stainless golf ball brush lol and wd'ed those spots.

got a new walbro 255 high pressure from cindy. fuel system should be good to go.

then comes the rehooking up everything in the dash and engine bay. shouldnt take too long.

engine is still the same stock 2.5 with forged slugs but now with cindys bolt in 50 trim with the custom housing, a ported 2piece intake, custom rail and 75lb injectors and a obx lsd in a 93 3.77 523.

ill have to make myself a new cal.

i want to put the a/c back in so i have all new lines for that.

if time allows ill put in a honda 3 core rad and my spearco intercooler thats been sitting in the garage for years.

the intent is fast enough not to destroy itself and comfy and cool inside lol.

If they did, it would still be faster to walk. It gets pretty crowded.

[bigbarneycars]

James, Once upon ah time they used to rent them 'til there was an vehicle+pedestrian accident. It was strongly advised by their insurance company at the time of that mishap that it would prudent to sell the fleet which they did! Carlisle personnel and a VERY FEW others on Manufacturers row now a days. Electric 4 wheel "Amigo" rentals inside gate 4 by a private company is about it or bring your own. I've also seen a few track bikes BUT it's always pretty crowded for those little scooters. Bring your walking shoes, Jerry

Hey Jim,
SDAC won't be picking a motel for Carlisle. Rooms are already in short supply there and many places will likely sell out.

But don't wait, make your Carlisle room reservations ASAP, if you wait, all that will be left are the most expensive rooms.

Barry

[BadAssPerformance]

For Carlisle, there are a few hotels clustered together in the New Cumberland area. Shoot for rooms at those and we can all be in the same general area. Dave has some calls in but we've been waiting to hear back. It is wise to book something that you can cancel and if Dave comes up with anything then you can switch later on.

[cudagirl77]

We have a double room at the Scottish Inn in New Cumberland but looks like we probably won't make it since the car is no where close to being ready.

[2.216VTurbo]

Looks like my plus one this year will be my 13 year old Son Jagger:D I'm stoked because he's never traveled to a car club meet with me before. He is a little reluctant that he'll be "bored" but he's gonna tough it out:thumb:

Glad to hear it Alan. For some reason I find it hard to believe that he'll be bored.

^^Agreed...especially if it's anything like Daytona Beach for Bike Week or Biketoberfest. Done both, several times, a couple with a bike. Meh...whatever. It's fun to ride with all the other bikes, but I don't like sitting in traffic for 2 hours to go 1/2 mile while my clutch hand is so tired it feel like it's going to fall off.

Did Daytona Beach Bike Week twice. Agree. Meh. I liked going to the race the best. 99% of the bikers there didn't even know there was a race going on.....which is the entire point of bike week.

I thought someone mentioned something about making sure to say you are with SDAC so there is a tent, which suggests its part of a larger event?!?!??!?!!!!!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!?!

If so, is SDAC the only part of it which is TM related?

Regardless, is this the sort of thing where vendors sell stuff?

How many people show up?

And how does one become a vendor?

I couldn't justify going myself (I think Lancaster, PA is about the furthest location from me in the USA), but maybe I could work out a deal with a vendor who is going, to take a cut of selling my wares. Does anyone do that?

Carlisle holds about a dozen or so shows over the summer. This one is the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. Usually over 2000 Mopars there (of every model and age). The Shelby Dodge/TM crowd will be a small part of the overall Chrysler show. There is a huge swap meet also. Small time vendors, like yourself, usually sell from a space in the swap meet.

They have a manufacturers midway there with the bigger vendors, but that space has to be pricey. For answers to specific questions about the show, admission pricing, swap space pricing, etc, go to http://www.carsatcarlisle.com/carlisle-events/carlisle-chrysler-nationals/default.aspx

We ask folks to register there as SDAC club affiliation because Carlisle will provide a 20' square tent for the club in the area where its cars are parked. There must be at least 25 people attending from a club in order to get the tent for free, otherwise, they will charge for the tent.

Thanks. Looks like a single 10x30 section in the Midway runs $865, and a swap meet spot $90. If you have a product(s) with broad appeal the 10x30 seems like a good deal. SDAC-25 is not at Carlisle though right? Its in Lancaster at a totally separate event? (its own?)

[bfarroo]

You are correct

[BadAssPerformance]

SDAC-25 is not at Carlisle though right? Its in Lancaster at a totally separate event? (its own?)

Yes, SDAC-25 is our own event entirely dedicated to Shelby Dodges and Turbo Mopars! :thumb:

Due to SDAC-25's proximity to the Carlisle Chrysler show, it makes a nice combination of two events for a fun filled week! :clap:

Anyway they had no rooms left under the SDAC block, but they did honor the $70/night. Which was good because regular was $130/night!
My little brother Dan is trying to make it too, but if something happens i may end up with an extra bed.

Alan my son got me to go the first time when he was that age. My 83 sat covered up in the garage for years till he showed the interest. He is 23 now and lives 1500 miles away so he can't attend but he tells me our SDAC trips were some of his favorite memories. I am taking his 87 GLHS that we restored together this year but I wish it was him going instead of his car. Cherish the good times with him because it will be good.

Glad that worked out. Our SDAC "block" was opened up this week as the hotel policy is they only hold blocks until 1 month before the event. The good news is they will still honor our rate and give us credit, so anyone making s reservation, please be sure to mention the SDAC block to get the rate. The hotel is filling up so if you need a room grab it quick!

Midday? What time are you guys leaving? Joy wants to leave early to beat the heat and some of the traffic in Indy.

Tracy's never been up that way, so she wanted to take Friday to drive up and then get there on Saturday. The Friday night hotel is like $140 or so? I don't want to pay that and she doesn't want to drive 13 or so hours at once, which I don't blame her. Probably take a long day Friday, recoop with a shower and nice dinner somewhere and then finish up the next day to arrive Saturday around noon or so. Still haven't decided which way to go either.

[cordes]

Good times. She'll get used to it. This morning myself and Joy were discussing how to minimize baby items in the vehicle on account of the high probability of good swap meets this year. That takes time.

[minigts]

hahaha, she was asking about how you were going to handle the trip over with the baby. What's the distance and time? It is probably close to what it will be from Memphis, maybe a little shorter.

[cordes]

About 750 for the mileage I think. It should take 11-12 hours with no baby. I'm going to be happy if we make it in 15.

sounds like you need a turbo van.... with AC lol.

ill be in AC one way or another. the k car will have AC soon. i have all the parts sitting there... finalizing up the intercooler piping before installing everything else.

if i dont get the k car done in time, ill be in the neon... with ice cold AC.

im older and wiser now. i just turn up the boost to account for that compressor drag. lol.

Get jonnyb's!
Check out that ad and all you get. The auto has lockup so you get decent highway.
He still has the interior too.
That thing is really nice!

Ha. I just posted in that thread. I would love that van, but I just can't do another automatic car. I have all the tools to work on the 5 speed stuff and I have a pile of parts in the basement. Autos are another matter.

It could still be very reliable even at a moderate power level. This is a perfect turbo family hauler.

Reeves was wanting to sell his turbo van with its 5 speed conversion. Not sure if he still trying to sell it or not.

Any thoughts on "caravanning" over from Indy with me? I'll be heading out on Saturday and currently look to making the trip solo....

If you don't mind making more frequent stops I'm all for it.

[fleckster]

I'm used to frequent stops. I have two kids! It's always nice to have others traveling along in case of car trouble, getting lost, etc.

Thanks for that info Mike. I thought I was going to have to call someone or email someone to get that changed. I signed up before there was an SDAC class.

I got me in the right place now and, hopefully, will be ready to scrape door handles with everyone else! Just need to get the car checked out and some maintenance stuff done on it and the truck and trailer for the haul East and I should be having fun. God, I missed you guys last year! :mecry::love:

[BIGBRUDDA]

I miss you guyz too :mecry:

Missed you too Fleck. I'm psyched that you're able to make it this year.

Well, since I should be done having kids now, I shouldn't have to missed based on births anymore!

I think I have a T3 module with your name on it brother.

[mopar-tech]

I need to send in my membership dues, SDAC fee and lock in the hotel room today. Yes this is a reminder to myself.

[fleckster]

Sweet! I had forgotten about that. I could use a spare T3 module as a core for playing around. Not sure about the cal I've been running all this time but I'd like to upgrade to +40%s and computer controlled boost for 3 bar in the future.

Speaking of stops, I did the brakes on the car over the weekend and also replaced the rear wheel bearings since they were still the car's originals! I even viewed your YouTube video on Wheel Bearing Replacement on the Shadow for reference since it has been forever since I've done them. My car does have working e-brakes though. So you should see another paycheck for Google! coming!

When did Set 16 and Set 46 Timkin Bearings become so hard to find? I had to go to three different stores before I could come up with the inners and outers for both sides unless I wanted to settle for cheap China-made bearings.

A note to SDAC Drag Racers. The racing fuel will be available at the track in the morning before racing commences, but may not be available later in the day.

Glad the video helped, Fleck. Thanks for watching!
