    Thanks Bill. I emailed Tami, but if I had to talk to someone I am pretty sure I didn’t. I’ll have to get cracking on the paperwork then.

    Bill, those are some fine looking Audi’s. I run kind of old school “American Iron”. I converted one of my Nascar tour cars after I retired from pro racing in ’06 to run in SCCA. I can run as GT-1, GT-2 or SPO. I usually run as SPO because I don’t like rules. Am fast and competitive, but run when I feel like it and it has to be fun. Daytona is FUN. I,m sure we’ll cross paths somewhere….Sebring in Nov maybe ? Geo.

    Good Morning PC,

    Recently, I have received a few questions from members about selling their prized possessions (cars,motorcycles, motor coaches, airplanes, blimps, custom golf carts, etc.). Carlisle Auctions is very unique in the way that we offer “Free Unless Sold” thats right, I’ll say it again “Free Unless Sold”!! To enter a vehicle in the auction, it simply costs $250-$400 (depending on the time) and if the vehicle does not sell, we will refund your money! No harm No Foul!!

    Anyone who may be intrested in selling a vehicle in the auction, you can contact our Auction Manager, Tony Cline. His direct email is TonyC@Carlisleauctions.com. Tony is an awesome guy to work with, and he will walk you through the simple process.

    Hope everyone had an awesome Labor Day Holiday!!

    Cheers,

    Don’t forget to bring your shades because Olivia will otherwise blind you with her beauty! … 🙂

    See you all in Lakeland.

    Who else has registered and will be there?

    Cheers,

    Ronald

    With a comment like that I sense we are nearing the point where we need to have another Bling contest. The last one was many moons ago at Santa Fe Skies, and the judge was an 80 year old woman.

    Roger “The King of Bling” Foster walked away with the title, but I got gyped because I had to do all the work on his bus. In fairness however he did provide the disco ball and the diamond encrusted belt buckles that scrolled “King of Bling”.in LED lights

    If Roger can get his hands out of his customer’s pockets long enough he may want to add to this conversation. Sounds like another event at the Air and Coach rally.

    Olivia,

    I am so glad that you will be joining us in Lakeland. You are my all-time
    FAVORITE coach and I fell in love with you several years ago. You were in need of
    a new partner out in Auburn, IN and I was introduced to you at the Auctions
    America auction. Unfortunately, you were just a little out of my sophistication
    (aka price) range. Then I was happy to see you again at Parliament and you
    looked as stunning as ever. Trust me I have not forgot about you and I am
    elated that our paths will cross again.

    When
    will you be arriving in Lakeland? I will set aside a perfect spot for you, Olivia.

    Your
    secret admirer,

    Bill

    PC,

    I am very pleased to announce that Aubrie Atwell will be
    joining our Air and Coach Concours team. Aubrie has worked for Carlisle Events for
    more than 8 years. Her official title is Sponsorship and Event Coordinator however,
    over the past few years Aubrie has done many things within our Company and has
    done them exceptionally well. Not only will her organizational skills surpass
    both Tim (sorry Tim) and I’s, but I’m sure everyone will love her smiling face and
    upbeat personality as well.

    PC’s responses have been overwhelming in the last few days, so it was only natural to further expand the team. Aubrie
    has shown an interest in the Air and Coach Concours from the beginning and she
    is very excited to be a part of the team.
    Honestly, I think she just took on the responsibility
    so that she can get out of PA in November and February. Either way it will only
    hope to ensure that all of you are going to be a part of a spectacular and well organized
    event.

    Please give Aubrie a warm welcome to the Prevost Community!

    PC

    Ok so you will hear it first. Burt Reynolds will be joining
    us at the Fall AutoFest November 13th and 14th! The
    contract was just signed and the press release is being written now. I will
    post it as soon as it is finished. In the Spring Carlisle Auctions sold a
    Bandit Trans Am formerly owned by Mr. Reynolds for nearly $200,000. It’s
    amazing how much excitement still circles around a movie that is almost 40
    years old. Speaking of movies, Burt himself will be introducing our Saturday
    night movie. It will be Smokey and the Bandit of course and how cool will it be
    to watch it with the man himself.

    I know that we have already mentioned the duPont Registry joining
    us as well with the Cars and Coffee. I just want to say that I cannot wait for
    this element of the event to take place. It is going to be amazing to have that
    caliber of cars at our event. The folks at duPont are honestly going overboard
    with the promotion of this event for both November and February. The excitement
    is already huge and will just be continuing to build. Tim and I will be
    attending the duPont Registry Cars and Coffee early on Saturday October, 17thin St Petersburg, FL. We will be leaving early to get back to Lakeland for the
    Heacock Insurance Lake Mirror event. If you have not been, this is another must
    see event. In addition to all of the cars, seeing vintage wooden boats on the
    lake is spectacular. If any of you are in the area please reach out and join us
    for either or both of these events. Remember you can stay at the Sun n Fun
    facility anytime for $350 per night plus tax.

    I would also like to thank everyone for the amazing support.
    Tim and I have both signed up several more coaches already this week. Please remember
    that if you are planning to attend please sign up. I would much rather have you
    cancel and give a refund than to not have properly planned for your arrival.

    I will post the official press releases for both of these
    activities soon.

    Happy Motoring

    Burt Reynolds to Appear at Fall Florida AutoFest in
    Lakeland

    The Bandit Onsite Friday and Saturday of Event Weekend

    LAKELAND, FLCarlisle Events has been promoting
    automotive events in Florida since the fall of 2012 when it hosted Fall
    AutoFest in Zephyrhills. After three
    years and six increasingly popular events, the Pennsylvania-based company had
    no choice but to move to a modern day, large scale facility. With the SUN
    ‘n FUN
    complex in Lakeland tapped
    as its new home, Carlisle Events is preparing to host Fall Florida AutoFest, November 12-15. This event already hosts a bevy of automotive
    and aeronautical excitement and now, Carlisle Events is pleased to announce a
    two-day appearance by the legendary Burt
    Reynolds
    .

    Reynolds
    is a long-time star of stage and screen, appearing in nearly 200 films
    including Stroker Ace, Hooper, Boogie Nights, Mystery Alaska,
    Deliverance, Longest Yard, Dukes of
    Hazzard
    and Cannonball Run. He
    was a popular guest host on The Tonight
    Show
    and starred in the television series Out of this World and the fondly remembered Evening Shade, which is considered one of the best comedies ever
    written. Although Reynolds’ name and
    face has graced many worthy movies, he will forever be remembered as the
    charming, devil-may-care Bo “Bandit” Darville in the 1977 pop culture hit Smokey and the Bandit.

    Still a
    working actor at the age of 79, Reynolds has a number of movies due to be
    released in the next year. He continues to pursue his love of teaching at The Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and
    Theatre.
    Recently, Reynolds was awarded both the Georgia Film Legend Award and the Film Florida Legends Tourism Ambassador Award. In September he
    became the only actor to be inducted into the Stuntman Hall of Fame. Reynolds is actively involved in charity
    work including a partnership with the Dream
    Car Giveaway
    group. His association
    with the Dream Car team is partially what brings him to Fall AutoFest. He would love to see one of his fans win the
    beautifully restored and autographed 1979
    Trans Am
    being offered through the Bandit Dream Giveaway Sweepstakes,
    proceeds from which will benefit a number of worthwhile charities as well as
    the building fund of the Burt Reynolds Institute.

    This is
    actually the second time that Carlisle Events is doing business with Reynolds
    in 2015. Earlier in the year, as part of
    Spring Carlisle and its auction, the Carlisle Auctions team sold for $181,900,
    a 1977 Bandit Trans Am that was owned by none other than Reynolds himself. The sale gained international attention and
    proved to be the top selling car of the spring auction.

    Along
    with the Bandit Dream Car, the Bandit himself and tens of thousands of guests,
    the Smokey and the Bandit theme will continue with a replica of the Snowman’s
    rig from the movie as well as a replica police car representing one that Jackie
    Gleason/Sheriff Buford T. Justice drove.
    In all, it’ll be a weekend for not only car lovers but also movie lovers
    and fans of Burt Reynolds alike.

    Reynolds will be onsite Friday and Saturday of Fall Florida AutoFest hosting multiple
    autograph sessions. Friday’s session is from 1
    p.m. to 4:30 p.m
    . and Saturday’s
    is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, Reynolds will return to the
    complex after a brief break Saturday evening from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. to introduce a drive-in movie screening of Smokey and the Bandit. An autograph with Reynolds is free, but
    limited per person and a fee will apply for any merchandise purchased at the
    signing. Details on Fall Florida
    AutoFest can be found at http://www.CarlisleEvents.com
    or by calling 717-243-7855.

    duPont REGISTRY to Join Carlisle Events for Florida AutoFest
    Events
    Cars and Coffee Creators Coming to Lakeland in November and
    February

    Tuesday, September 22, 2015

    When Carlisle Events announced its move from Zephyrhills,
    Florida to Lakeland, Florida, the purpose was to meet the demand of the
    enthusiasts who helped outgrow the old Festival Park facility. Now, with the
    luxurious and spacious SUN ‘n FUN venue in Lakeland set to host Carlisle
    Events, Carlisle Auctions and Fall Florida AutoFest for the first time starting
    November 12, Carlisle Events is pleased to announce the addition and inclusion
    of the duPont REGISTRY to not only the first show in November, but also to the
    February Winter AutoFest weekend as well.

    The duPont REGISTRY has been churning out high end
    automotive publications for three-plus decades and in recent years, has been
    hosting events throughout Florida known as Cars and Coffee. These events bring
    amazing cars to one central location and allow guests to spend a morning
    browsing the cars and drooling over their cup of coffee. Of course coffee is
    not required, but if it doesn’t provide a morning wakeup call of sorts, then
    the cars most certainly will. Cars that take part in this showcase are in most
    cases the best of the best and frequently are exotics and high end customs.

    Over 300 cars are expected during each Cars and Coffee
    showcase. For November, the event is Saturday, November 14 from 8 a.m. to 12
    p.m. and in 2016, February 27 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The showcase takes place
    at the Central Florida Aerospace Academy (CFAA) on the SUN ‘n FUN grounds just
    off Medulla Rd. and registration is just $25 and can be paid directly to the
    duPont team at the show on Saturday morning.

    In addition to being part of this event, Cars and Coffee car
    owners will receive a discounted bidder pass to the Carlisle Auctions offering
    on November 13 and 14 (February 26-27 for the 2016 event). With the Cars and
    Coffee event Saturday morning and the auction starting Friday, anyone
    interested in taking advantage of the discounted bidder pass for Friday and
    Saturday should contact Carlisle Auctions in advance at 717-960-6400 and
    reference the Cars and Coffee/Fall AutoFest Auction discount. Finally, proceeds
    from this Cars and Coffee event will be donated to the CFAA, helping further
    support the academy and its students.

    “I have been fortunate enough to be a part of many fantastic
    partnerships during my time with Carlisle Events,” noted partner Bill Miller,
    III. “Our company has worked from one side of this country to the other over
    the past 40+ years and I can unequivocally say that I am most excited about
    this one,” continued Miller. “I have literally grown up reading the duPont
    REGISTRY and now we are actually working hand-in-hand with this great company.
    How exciting is it to be able to add this element to our event and at the same
    time showcase our incredible automotive hobby to the kids who are pursuing a
    career in air and space. The fact that we will be raising money for such a
    great cause as the CFAA is just an added bonus. I simply can’t wait for the
    second weekend in November and then to do it all over again in February.” This
    event is just one of many taking place at SUN ‘n FUN in November. In addition,
    there is a two-day collector car auction backed by Carlisle Auctions, an Air
    and Coach Concours promoted by Prestige Aviation and Parliament Motor Coach,
    yet another car show running Saturday and Sunday backed by Carlisle Events, a
    unique Russian boat used during the Cold War era space race and even more
    classics on display via the Dream Car Giveaway Group. While each car show has a
    registration price point, as does the Air and Coach Concours, for spectators,
    it’s all just $10 per day to enjoy.

    Complete details about the event can be found at

    Couple questions.

    1. Is there a PC Discount?

    2. Will there be full hook-ups, partial hook-ups or is this dry camping (well not dry like some counties in the south but dry as in I need to run the generator and not do any laundry)?

    3. Will Burt have a Trans-Am? I know if I were Burt, I would drive a 1978 black/gold TA pretty much everywhere I went 🙂

    I think that covers my questions…
