As Zach previously reported, the annual Central PA swap meet will not be in Hershey this year, but will be in Carlisle, PA.

I had lunch today with Steve & Derek from Aircooled Racing. Derek is interested in setting up a drive on Friday, April 30th. We'll leave from Carlisle mid-morning, have lunch along the way, tear up some country roads and tour some covered bridges in the area and return to Carlisle in the afternoon.

I'm trying to gauge interest in this event before he starts investing time into it.

Please chime in if you'd like to participate.

Thanks! Here is the event flyer:

I'll be at the swap meet selling some of my hoarded stored treasures and rarities, bits, lets face it. Decent parts at a decent price, as it is better to sell then carry parts all over the country and sell nothing.

Will have the wrong vehicle for a nice drive. Most likely be my ratty 2003 Chevy Silverado with great suspension and brakes, LS power and patina'd body.

Not as nice of a ride as my other cars, but then, some times you have to do what you have to do.

We should start a thread for Hersey swap and parts coming over if people want to put out a feeler for items they need.

Thanks for posting Bob

Putting on my calendar! Thanks!

I'd love to come from Oregon via air to visit the Sway Meet, but I think PA is putting folks into quarantine for 10 days....is that true?

If yes, I'm out.

Its currently 14 days.

I hope this China virus is gone by then....

(why is no one made at them for this?)

I would be in for a Friday drive.

I’m planning to go to SCCA Track Night in America at Daytona on the April 30th. Unless something changes I won’t be in PA for the weekend.

Ok so how would they know you are out of towner? Do hotels check? Just curious.

I am very interested. However, I don't think the car will be drivable by then.

For continued head count.

Usually go to Vegas around this time in April.

But it looks like that won't be happening this year, So I will be up for driving out to Carlisle.

Will be good to see you guys again.

Well, until the ban on travel to PA is lifted, it’s not going to be an option for us to attend. If they review the regulation, and factor in people who have been vaccinated, then maybe.

So... Is there some one (cops) stopping every car going from Philly to NYC to Jersey? No there is not?? See how the quarantine law is not enforced for them?
Matt

The travel ban is an absurdity to the tens of thousands who commute into and out of these states every day.

Be careful about what you say. I hate to have to use the "no politics"

Yep - the travel bans are a joke. They have no way of enforcing. It is up to the individual to use good judgement at this point. Fortunately some of us do and unfortunately some of us do not. Hopefully we older guys are vaccinated by May 1st and ready to go. I am 2hrs east of Carlisle and happy to provide a place to stay to those that use good judgement.

If i'm in town I'm down, but I may be on the road. Doing "Hershey" at Carlisle has the potential to make this a MUCH larger event in the future. Or provide for a somewhat social distanced event this year.

Zach

King Wolf has lifted travel ban.... We are kinda free now....
Let the good deals roll ......
Matt

I’m in for the Friday drive! I tried to sign up for the Daytona track night and got put on the waiting list an hour after registration opened. It must be an omen that I should go to PA.

Looks like I'll have both my vaccine shots + two weeks by then, so sign me up.

I will certainly be there.
Maybe in the 914, but I might be looking for larger items to bring home for another project by then.

Jared

I will be there, probably with the F150 or maybe the Alfa spider. 914 is still several months away

Thanks for the heads up

I may be up for the Friday drive. Can you keep us informed about the virus impact? Don’t want the state ruining the trip.

I'm down to go, but I'll be driving the wrong car for a fun drive. I need to be able to haul a lot of stuff home.

For updated headcount. Post if you are looking for a seat for the drive if you can't bring a 914. Thanks!

I will be there, but probably in the 911 since the 914 is still flinstoneing.

@VaccaRabite - you going to bring my shift knob

I’ll probably look for a ride. I’ll have had both my shots by then so I’ll be pretty safe to be around.

As of today, Covid-19 travel restrictions have been lifted for those traveling to/from the state of Pennsylvania.

Just dewinterized my shop to help a bunch of Cub Scouts make Pinewood Derby cars, and was working on your project too.

Zach

And he sent a vid and it looks glorious

For those coming to the Carlisle PCA Swap meet. May 1st

Here's a link > http://cpa-pca.org/swap/2021/index.html

Has a map that shows the layout, and other info.

I'll be going on the drive Apr 30th, See you there.

A full set of vaccinations won't provide any safety for those around you Mark.

Wish I could go, but crap to do.

True

Not going to the drive traveling over Friday.

Change of plans, I will be driving over in the Boxster, and just looking for parts for it. Specifically I am looking for one item.

Function First Console Riser Kit for the Boxster - discontinued and I checked, so on the hunt!

If you have one collecting dust or I could use for look see PM me.
