Alright, so im sitting around in the hotel being bored off y ass, talkin with whitey on AIM and i got an idea…
June 5-6, here in Ocean City, is the Ocean City Import Car and Truck Show. Last year, there was an attendance of 15,000 people, and 700 cars entered in the show. I went, and there were definately some nice cars there. Heres what im thinking. Carlisle is no longer what it once was. Its gonna be indoors, no alcohol. I checked hotels.com, and most of those rooms are around 70 a night. I have rooms here at the hotel for $50 a night on the weekend, $35 a night on the weekdays. They have 2 double beds, and we dont charge any more per person. Its a 6 hour drive (of you drive slow) to Ocean City, and about a 4 hour drive to Harrisburg. So if we do 4 people per room, thats $25 a person for the weekend. I know thats a hell of a lot less than what i paid at carlisle. And usually you are gonna be paying close to $150-200 a night in Ocean City in the summer. If anyone wants to make a week of it, there are special weekly rates, or if you just dont feel like driving home on sunday night, you can always stay an extra few nights for $35 a night.
I can book us all together. We are also building a 100 person Pavilion so we can have cookouts and shit. Another nice thing, this hotel is NOT right in downtown Ocean City… Its right on the other side of the drawbridge for everyone who has ever been down here before… Downtown its supercramped, and you usually have to park on the street, or in some crappy little parking lot. Theres plenty of parking here, and its away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Nobody to key or puke on your ride. Imagine all the fun of Carlisle, except when you get sick of looking at all the rice cars, you can go to the beach, the boardwalk, laser tag, 100’s of awesome bars… all the amenities of the biggest resoprt town on the East Coast. I just wanted to gauge the interest all you guys have. Personally, I think it would be cool as hell, and a LOT more fun than carlisle… On the ride down you get to play around in either the DC or Balt metro traffic (which is always fun) and its a lot more interesting of a drive than the boring ass Turnpike.
Oh, and there were lots of doemstics last year as well, so dont all you LS1 boys feel left out.
