2007 All Ford Nationals...

[Rich@Carsatcarlisle]

Hello everyone...As you all know the Carlisle All Ford Nationals will be held June 1-3, 2007.

One of the feature/themes of 2007 we are working on is the 40th anniversary of the Cougar. If you thought the Bronco's came out in force for their 40th birthday, wait until you see the Cougar display! We'll see if the "cats" can out do the "horses."

What else would you like to see at the 2007 show? Special guests, featured cars, activities, etc.?

Thanks - Rich

[oldschool1]

Is it June yet? :hyper:
I already have two rooms booked! I can't wait!
Cougars eh? There should be a huge turnout.

The only thing that I can think of right now is that more people need to know about the shuttles. They're a valuable asset to every event. We were on the top of the hill (and liked it) but many people came up and said, "Boy, I wish there was a shuttle to bring me up here." When we told them that there was, they were always surprised.

Gonna be a tall order to out do the Broncos! :) I really had a blast at the 2006 show and I'm looking forward to 2007. I do hope that you don't put the Broncos back up on the hill since they aren't the feature vehicle. See you next year! :cool:

[xmandax]

Um can the Focus's have more room for '07......b/c we got shafted with one single row :( ......we had to end up parking in the middle of the row b/c of it.....

We like the hill :)

I'm with Manda on the spacing but, I understand that the reason they ran out of room. I've read it was due to not enough pre-registrations and too many "At-The-Gate" registrations. The staff allots space based on pre-registrations plus some super-secret unknown factor. Word is that there were more gate registrations than expected. I can see the Focus being the headliner one year.

BOT.

Were there any lavatories on the hill? Maybe that could be added.

That works! I'll still have to hoof it up there to check out the VII's though... oh well :)

See post #2 above about the shuttles.

See Rich ... toldja.

See post #2 above about the shuttles.

See Rich ... toldja.

Yeah I know about the shuttles. I just like to walk everywhere I go because there's so much stuff to see along the way plus I don't like waiting for shuttles. I suppose the bottom line is I'm just lazy :)

[xmandax]

i agree w/ that and also more by the camping spaces.....it gets to be quite a hike to the bathrooms.......

[Rich@Carsatcarlisle]

I'll see what I can do about bathrooms. And for the Focus space, I will adjust that too. The one thing that I noticed is the newer cars keep growing in HUGE numbers each year and we haven't figured out the correct space to give and then space runs out - I hope you understand. There will be some adjustments for the show field layout, we'll try to get the 4x4 trucks off the side of the hill so they don't tip over and that will rearrange somethings that should work out well for everyone.
Keep the ideas flowing!
Thanks!

Thank you for listening Rich. We realize that the staff can't do everything (like level the hill) but listening to the masses is clearly a good first step.

Now ... about free food and drink ... ;)

what do you mean they can't level the hill?! haha im jk...

and Rich thanx!!

[Rich@Carsatcarlisle]

If you all come out with a shovel and we start next week maybe...lol. We listen to all feedback (good or bad) because we want all of you to enjoy the show. And some of the things you see, we could overlook. Thanks again.

I agree with OldSchool! The hill rocks and Mark VII's belong on top of it. :)

Only gripe I have (and it's no real big deal) is we have LOTS of classes to judge on the fun field. Kinda takes away from enjoying the rest of the show. 2006 was the 2nd year I never made it to the inside displays.

Still would be nice to receive our windshield decal before the show so we can just cruise onto the field and onward to the hill.

Otherwise, the Ford Nats is one top-notch show that never disappoints! :cool:

... and then get our goody bags and the like at a later, less congested, time.

I wonder how much more each window sticker would cost with a hologram on it (especially with a 2000 sticker discount)? Hmmm. That would make for a secure entrance system. Bar coding is another example of being able to send out preregistration stickers. Two wireless bar code readers at the front gate would speed things up greatly. I'll bet that there is a bar coding company or two that would provide this service in return for promotional consideration.

My only request would be that the 03-04 Mach 1's stay as there own group and not be lumped in with others like last year. 03-04 mach 1 & Up, which for some reason included 05 and up V-6 stangs.... Whats up with that. Each year the group has over 40 cars so we should warrant our own group.
Thanks

[Sharppony]

Some more suggestions for 2007 All Ford Nationals themes:
75th Anniversary of 32 Ford
50th Anniversary of Ranchero
50th Anniversary of Skyliner retractable hardtop.
40th Anniversary of Shelby GT 500
25th Anniversary of Fox bodied Mustang GT

I like the variety that Carlisle provides every year, being a Ford fan there is plenty to offer besides Mustangs!

[LM7Chairman]

I agree... send the sticker with the field/event registration confirmation would greatly speed things up. I would gladly pay another few dollars to cover the added expense of barcoding and mailing. :cool: As to the goody bags, set up a table inside the gate and hand one to each driver as he enters. Got a sticker? Get a bag! :)

I believe a lot of the problem doing that is people dont always bring the car they registered? Dont understand the need for bar codes.

I didn't know that.
I don't understand why anyone would register one car and then bring another :) But I'm floating way off my original statement.

Carlisle staff did well by having a MUSTANG tent and then an OTHER tent. That sped us along greatly. Carlisle staff did well by providing separate desks for pre-registered and gate-registered participants. That sped us along greatly. Registration parking is finite. Registration counter space is finite. The number of staff at the counters is finite. Reducing the numbers of participants needing to stop at the gate or registration area would speed us along greatly.

Instead of $35.00, I might opt to pay $37.50 to receive a barcoded, hologramed, magnetic striped (etc) sticker or card in the mail. For the added cost, I receive the convenience of bypassing the registration area altogether. We drive up to the gate to be scanned, or read or swiped or whatever and then go directly to our Club tent and park for the next three days. I can take the shuttle to the gate for my goodie bags or ... there could be an entirely separate tent for pre-registered participants to visit on the fair grounds. :)

Every additional feature or service needs additional funding.

I would pay $2.50 more to bypass the current registration area.

[jty1]

a couple CAT D9 dozers would fix the 'problem' real fast. it would make the shows more enjoyable and increase the value of the land.

2 you really think a couple bucks a car will pay for the equipment needed for a barcode system?

[oldschool1]

2 you really think a couple bucks a car will pay for the equipment needed for a barcode system?

Nope. I'm not that naive. :)

Without going through and quoting myself, IIRC I suggested that there may be a vendor that would provide services in return for promotional consideration. As a former dot.com CEO, my company would have gladly set up and maintained a bar-code system for Carlisle Events in return for having (the former) www.tpmm.com on each ticket/window sticker/flyer that involves registration.

If the barcode system cost me (the vendor) $5,000.00 per year and advertising at Carlisle would normally cost me $10,000.00 per year, it would be in my best interest to offer my services to Carlisle in return for promotional consideration.

I'm no longer a CEO ... I'm a car enthusiast that really likes hanging out with other car enthusiasts. To put myself back on topic, my answer to the thread's question is, "Could the registration process be smoother utilizing different technology?"

[LM7Chairman]

Absolutely agreed to .... don't forget to visit us Mark VII's! :) :cool: :D ;)

[xmandax]

i would pay extra to get mine ahead of time.......and im sure alot of other people would too....

oh and i am working on trying to get alot of the Focus guys/girls to pre-reg this year so hopefully we'll get more space :confused: :)

Hi!

Point some of those same Focus owners to this thread so that we can get thier input. What I tell people is that promoters normally listen to the paying customers.

There were a LOT of paying customers at the 2006 Al Ford Nationals :)

[ZX3_Chick]

I'm one of those Focus owners (i have one of the few red Focus's that show up every year. LOL) and yes we do need more room. I've been going the past 3 years and the first year I went (04) we were on the other side of the hill close to the grandstands/vendors and stuff and it seemed like a lot more people were looking at our cars there. I hope we get a ton of Focus's there this year cause every year I put something up on the Focus forum I visit and it seems as though no one wants to make the drive.

hey ash! i have been trying but that seems to be the problem nobody wants to drive.

[ZX3_Chick]

Yeah I don't get it cause there are all sorts of modified Focus's in PA (well at least everytime I go up there there are) I put a thread up on one of the Focus boards the other day about this. We will see.................:/

[xmandax]

yea i saw there was a post on Focaljet....and strictly focused posted something, but they don't wanna drop their name.....they don't listen, hence the reason why i left them. but i'll keep trying!

ZX3,
I'm offtopic but ...
Focus owners need to pre-register when it openes up (possibly December, 2006).
If 50 Focus owners pre-register, Carlisle Staff will reserve 50+ spots.
If 100 Focus owners pre-register, Carlisle Staff will reserve 100+ spots.
If 500 Focus owners pre-register, Carlisle Staff will ... be very very happy.

[ZX3_Chick]

Ha, I don't think we will get 500 Focus's there but that would be sweet!

[Rich@Carsatcarlisle]

If you guys/gals pre-register 500 focus's (or is the foci) I'll let you pick whatever spot you want on the grounds :)

As for the room on for the Focus area, we'll work on that. The thing about it is the vast jump in numbers from year to year on new cars. One year we may have 20 Focus and the next we have 50. We cannot perdict that kind of jump and that's when the areas get tight. It has a lot to do with pre-reg numbers, and a lot to do with the past years numbers.

[ZX3_Chick]

Yeah it was weird in 05 we had about 25 or so then 06 we had about 50. I think a lot of them don't pre-register and wait til the day of the show and come in therefore we don't have enough spots. I'm gonna try my best for 07:)

[03Mach69Mach]

[EscortRacingny]

hey just signed up here repping the Escort/ZX2 forums.

Now i got one question, since im sorta new to Ford Natls, is there a section for escorts/ZX2's, or is it combined with the focus section?
cause i was planning on getting a big group of fellow enthusists to come to ford natls.

[xmandax]

there is an escort/zx2 section

[EscortRacingny]

Edsels are cool. There's always a good showing of wagons. :cool:

[R3d_RovrZX3]

im attempting to reserve a club tent for the focus fanatics club and was curious whether or not we could write down two variations of the club name on the form to make sure that everyone that registers is counted toward the 25 needed for the tent... some people have registerred as "focus fanatics" and others as "focusfanatics.com" will these two names automatically be considered the same group? am i able to include both variations on the form? thanks

[Rich@Carsatcarlisle]

rovr - put both names on the form just to be safe. I'll make a note to make sure to count them both toward your 25 vehicles.

As for the Edsels...email more info at rich@carsatcarlisle.com and I'll see what we can put together. Sounds like fun to me!

[R3d_RovrZX3]

awesome... thank you, rich!

I recommend pre-registering for the show. You save time AND money by pre-registering. :cool:

[blueovalguy]

How about some recognition for the 50th anniversary of the FORD RANCHERO, one of the most unique vehicles ever produced by Henry's boys.:rolleyes:

[Jbahoffman]

Rich----I see that there is going to be a Mach 1 reunion

I'm curious too! I am pre-registered for the Mach reunion, wondering where we will all be parked. Several years of Machs.

[Rick at Carlisle]

There is a movement on to have a reunion at the show! Check out the web site for the national club <www.ranchero.us>. Keep e posted as to how we can help and make this a fun year for the Ranchero fans!
Rick

[Rick at Carlisle]

There is indeed a Mach 1 Reunion! However, the showfield layout is not finalized yet. The final layout will depend on things like the total number pre-registered vehicles as well as the response from other theme cars. We will do our very best to make sure everyone has a good time.
Rick

[LM7Chairman]

:D Better start planning ahead to the 2009 All Ford Nationals.... it'll be the 25th Anniversary of the Lincoln Mark VII!!! :cool: I think a spot down by the pool and the terrace dining would be fitting; you know, next to the tennis courts! :p 97 DAYS AND COUNTING! ;)

[Rick at Carlisle]

Jack,
We're happy to hear that you have phoned in your reservations for the "Reserved Dining Area" down by the pool. We're sure you will be very happy with your location and enjoy the fine dining!

Dining on pristine cars and enjoying the sight of ALL those awesome cars produced by FOMOCO under the name of Ford & Lincoln-Mercury is good for the soul! Lincoln MarkVII's are a hearty group and enjoy the show as much as the next group of "Blue Oval" folks!

We welcome you and your group! And the thousands of other class cars produced by FOMOCO!

Keep counting!

(Not quite there yet John, but we're counting down!) :)

You're welcome Rick.
We receive a LOT of questions about Carlisle and try to either point interested parties to Rich and the rest of the staff at the CarsAtCarlisle.com site or answer their questions directly.

Just like last season, we're advocating preregistration.

[psness81]

I've never been to Carlisle and would like to bring my Mustang, but don't know if I can be there all three days. Can anyone tell me how/when the judging takes place?

[One_Way]

Judging takes place Saturday, awards are given out Sunday. :)

[blknredcougar]

I was told that The Cougars will be in the building P. I looked on the map and I could not find it. Please let me know Thanks

[psness81]

When on Sunday are the awards announced? When does it close down on Sunday? I suppose people start bugging out through the day.

[One_Way]

Judging is done all day Saturday until around 4PM (?) or around there.

The awards given out by Carlisle are not announced on Saturday.

Sunday morning, a tent is set up in the lower field, near the entrance, where ALL participants are to report to Sunday morning. You will find the complete list of winners there.

You may choose to accept your award right there and then and "bug out" or you can be a part of the awards parade (VERY cool) and receive your award at the staging area later in the afternoon.

When you arrive, you will receive a program that explains all of this.

[1975StroppeBaja]

When on Sunday are the awards announced? When does it close down on Sunday? I suppose people start bugging out through the day.

I believe the car giveaway is at 3:00 on Sunday. The awards parade is just before the giveaway. A majority of the vendors are either packed up or gone by that time on Sunday.

Is it June yet??? :cool:

[Rick at Carlisle]

Lots of good questions AND answers thus far! Let me try to make a few clarifications if I can.

Judging (Participant voting only!):
Saturday-Completed ballots must be turned in to Information Booth by 5PM!

Winner's List:
Sunday-Posted at 9AM!
You may pickup your award & depart then. However the Parade is VERY cool!

Awards:
Sunday-1PM!

Giveaway (Car or $5000 cash!):
Sunday-3PM! (No purchase necessary! Winner must be present & has 10 minutes to report to stage to claim the prize!)

[One_Way]

Yep, can't wait! :cool:

[03Mach69Mach]

40 days and counting til All-Ford Nationals!!

[Rick at Carlisle]

We're rocking & rapping to the sounds of Blue Oval Specials hauling the mail to Carlisle, PA! Arriving just in time to dance the night away to the sounds of many storied and true Ford and Lincoln-Mercury classics!

See the greatest show in town. Where on display for your viewing pleasure, are some of the Baddest and Wildest 'Stangs, Coolest Cats, Flying Birds, and a whole lot more of what Edsel Ford has to offer!

From vintage tin to the baddest rods, we're gambling with Dueces wild that the sight and sound of Lightning haulers escorting hardtops and convertibles to the races will trip your trigger and ignite the fire of desire.

Sample some of the best very iron to ever come out of the Motor City! Some even bear the flare of french names and ooze with the classic sound of elegance! While others conjure thoughts of the Wild West, some fit like the tunes of the fabulous fifties.

Whatever your tastes in classic iron, this will be one the very best All-Ford Nationals to leap out of the blocks! Don't miss this edition of the show that Henry Ford never dreamed possible!

[Haeg]

I have a question?
If you signed up for the show and forgot to enter your club name, will it be a problem to change it at the show or should I contact Carlisle before the show. I just want to make sure I park with my fellow club members.
Please advise, thanks

[1975StroppeBaja]

Sounds like another great show if the weather holds out for us!

It should be about time to reveal the giveaway car, no?

[Rick at Carlisle]

You're better off calling Customer Service and correcting your entry soon. It will be easier for you that way. However, if you choose, you may make the correction when you pick up your credentials and goody bag, though it will take longer for you to check in!

Hey, all you S&H fans! Huggy Bear is CONFIRMED and will be at the fairgrounds Friday through Sunday. He'll be mingling with all those loyal Blue Oval fans and their red & white Torinos! And he will be signing autographs as well! We'll be posting pictures soon! Stay tuned! :D

Fans of the Starsky & Hutch Torinos (and those of you old enough to remember, like me) take a look at a classic shot of the famous Huggy Bear!

Join us at the All-Ford Nationals June 1-3, and meet Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas) in person. Listen to him share tales and relive the golden days of Starsky & Hutch! You WILL enjoy listening to him, I guarantee!

Does anyone remember the name of the entertainment establishment he "owned" during the series? ;)

SInce our Club tent will be up on the hill again this year, we'll be about twenty feet froma free ride to the stage and the invitational area and the concessions and the swap meet and the vendors and the front gate and ... and ... goofing off :)

Guess I'm going to have to set up a FOCUS/MARK VII meet of my own in Harrisburg just to meet you <g>

The Lincoln Mark VII Club and the Lincolns of Distinction occupied 800 square feet of tent in an area capable of holding 50 plus cars on the other side of the hill, north west of your group.

Pink ~is~ an awesome color, but the most awesome thing about that car is that it is a one of a kind.

There were at least ten pink cars at the Nationals this year.

[1975StroppeBaja]

We'll see if the "cats" can out do the "horses."

What a great show again this year! We just got home last night around 10pm (we hit Hershey for a couple days before coming home). I don't have any idea what the actual numbers were but I don't think the "cats" of 2007 out did the "horses" from 2006 ;)

Thanks again for another great show! Only 51 weeks til next year's All Fords :eek:

This was my second time at the AFN with the SHO Club. Question, when will the dates for 08 be released? I have been trying to get my father to go with his Thunderbird and the earlier I can get info the better the odds I can get his old arse out of the house!

Thanks
