I had posted a while back for a show of interest in obtaining a Tent set up, for FBBO Members attending the July Carlisle Event. I have contacted, and received the requirements, from the staff at Carlisle. Would like to get this post out again, with the attached info, so it can go forward as needed, if there is enough interest in it. We all know that the Sun can be brutal there in July, so a tent would be a great place to cool off, meet up, swap parts, etc. Any and all comments, feedback, suggestions are welcome. This would need to be pursued as soon as possible, as July will be here before we know it, so get the ball rolling...
Here is the Info from The Carlisle Staff:
Hi Dan,
My name is Ed Buczeskie and I am the Event Manager for the Chrysler Nationals. I have attached a couple of documents (PDFs) for you. The first one is the Club Planning Kit and it should answer all of your questions and more. The second attachment is the actual Club Tent Form that can be filled out electronically. I think it’s also in the first attachment but that file only contains the fixed PDF that you would have to print out and complete manually. You are free to use whichever you prefer but the “fillable” form is much easier and you don’t need to print anything – just open it, fill in the info, save it and email it to me.
To answer your question directly about the tent, pretty much any club (of any size) can apply to get into our Club Program and get a tent. The deal is, if you have fewer than 25 cars registered for the show you must rent your tent for the weekend and that requires payment in the amount of $180. That gets you a 20x20 tent to use for the weekend. It’s meant as a place for your members to gather. These are professionally installed tents – they are not just an EZ-Up style tent.
If you do get at least 25 cars registered for the event this year, you can contact me after the event and I will refund your tent fee and your tent for the 2020 show will be free. As long as you have AT LEAST 25 cars registered each year, you will get your tent for free the following year. If you drop below the 25 car minimum in any year, you would be required to pay for your tent again beginning the following year (in other words, if you’r eligible for a free tent in 2022 but you only have 20 cars that year, you would have to pay for your tent in 2023 but I would NOT send you a bill for the 2022 tent).
Just so you know, FBBO is already an “Official Carlisle Club” so you don’t need to register the club with me – that part is already done. If you want to get a tent for the 2019 show, your next step is to submit the completed Club Tent Form to me with payment. FYI, you had 9 cars registered under FBBO last year so you’re off to a good start. Getting 16 more B-Bodies shouldn’t be too difficult J
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks Dan!!
Ed
