Including our block? We have a block of rooms reserved. It's under the name "Cuda Challenger dot com."
I mean it might be booked up as well. They haven't called to tell me. And as a previous resident of that area, the only thing I can suggest is sitting down with google maps and a phone and making some calls. Hotels in that area have all of the car show weekends highlighted on their calendar - Carlisle is that big. Even hotels 30-45 minutes away, too. When I was trying to book a room around February of this year, a lot of them were already booked up for the Chrysler weekend.
You'll FIND a room, I'm sure of it. How much you'll spend, well, that's gonna be up for grabs.
If you need any info (directions, recommendations, etc) shoot me a PM. I used to live in Mechanicsburg for a few years. These folks here used to call me "twenty minutes."
Jeff,
I did mention cuda-challenger when I was on the phone. Don't know if it got past her, or not.
She was very pleasant and polite and apologized for the lack of vacancy.
You'll probably have a few pms from me soon looking for info.
Thanks for the offer.
Jeff,
I'm doing a quick look here. I have NO idea how nice this place is, but it is within shouting distance. Are you booking for Thursday night and checking out Sunday?

I stayed at this place in '05. It's close to the fairgrounds. It was a little run down back then, but maybe the revamped it since?

I should get credit here for posting incredibly long links at least.

Mike,
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out also. Really appreciate it dude.
I will definitely look into both of those before I go any further.
I'm not sure, if I go whether I will leave on Thursday, or Friday Morning yet.
A little over a six hour drive for me.
I'll make a definite decision within the next day, or two, as time is not on my side right now.
Wish work would have told us a little earlier, so I could have planned this sh!t better, but I should just shut my mouth and be grateful, so I will do that.
Also, we just came back recently from Musclepalooza in Lebanon Valley New York. A great show, and drag racing, but it cost me a little.................a lot more than anticipated, as we ended up staying the whole Memorial day weekend.
Damn, money goes quick nowadays
Is there actually drag racing at Carlisle, or just a huge car show??
