2011 Carlisle Ford Nationals Trip Report
Once again, the Ford Nationals went by too fast. Like last year, I took to Twitter to share the experience of Carlisle as it happened. I added a few new followers during the three days of Carlisle. Since twitter is so time associated, my tweeted pics are in a...
