CARLISLE FORD NATIONALS 2015 IS A WRAP

The fastest weekend in June. This is but one description for the Ford Nationals by Carlisle Events. For an unprecedented third year, SOEC again hosted Steve Saleen and company for a weekend of Power In The Hands of a Few. A weekend filled with first introductions, information sharing, bench racing and countless autographs.

Many thanks goes to Jim Dvorak and Mothers Polish for supplying goody bags, a sample of their California Gold car wash and microfiber towel to our first 48 show registrants. This event relationship dates back to 2009. Show planning and support is the backbone of these gatherings and we must recognize the efforts of Rudy & Betsy Beyer, Mertz family, Boring family, and Greg Wackett for their tireless effort. Lastly, gratitude to all participants, enthusiasts and owners that make these events so special.
