SyTys Carlisle 2020 Review

For 8 years now, SyTys@Carlisle hosted by Sportmachines has been a mainstay at the Carlisle Truck Nationals held every August. Even with the interesting year that 2020 has been so far, it wasn’t going to stop those determined to make the show and have a good time….and a good time was most certainly had. Here’s the SyTys Carlisle 2020 Review!

In typical fashion, the SyTy group was one of the first clubs at the fairgrounds and promptly loaded up Building Y with a colorful array of trucks for display. From a 1 of 15 Aspen blue Sonoma GT to a 1 of 24 Garnet Typhoon, some of the rarest of the rare were there to showcase and represent the SyTySoGT community. Even one of the new GMC Canyon Syclones made by Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE) was on display courtesy of Carlisle Cadillac Buick GMC owned by local Syclone owner Conrad Aschenbach.

Certainly one of the biggest highlights this year and the truck to steal the show was the famed 1989-90 Syclone LSR (Land Speed Record). Best known for its record-breaking speed of 210.067mph in the standing mile, the Syclone LSR piloted by Don Stringfellow became the first ever and fastest gasoline pickup truck in the world. It was also the truck that helped kickstart and helped market the production Syclone in 1991. Having been in storage and “lost” out of the public eye for more than 15+ years, the Syclone LSR was only recently found again 2 weeks before the event. Displayed front and center of Building Y, the chance to walk around and get an up-close look at a piece of truck history was a special moment for all who saw it.

It goes without saying that SyTys@Carlisle wouldnt be the event that it is without the people who attend. In usual SyTy Fashion, our area had the arrangement of tents, blow up couches, pool, and what seemed to be a never ending supply of food and beverages. A big thank you to Noelle and Gary Lidner who cooked most likely a few hundred pounds of food throughout the weekend and making sure that absolutely not one single person went hungry. Harmon once again played his role as bar tender with his famed “Harmon Bombs” (Crown, Redbull, and a dash of grenadine) and it was more than once during the weekend that glasses were raised in celebration of everything and anything SyTy.

Carlisle Nationals awards clubs each year for various categories. The SyTy group was happy to take respectable 3rd place this year for club attendance with S10 Nation coming in 2nd and OBS Addicts taking 1st.

Special thanks goes to Tom Mandrov, owner of Sportmachines and his crew Nathan, Zain, and Carolyn for their tireless efforts and coordination of SyTys@Carlisle each year.

We look forward to The 2021 SyTys@Carlisle with the focus of taking both 1st place in club attendance and coolest club! How can we do that? Register to attend and make plans NOW.

SyTys Carlisle 2016

It’s a gloomy morning with rain clouds looming in the skies as we roll onto the Carlisle Event grounds for the Truck Nationals and SyTys Carlisle 2016, a fitting scene when the metal doors to Building Y begin to crack open and reveal the storms that await. Take your choice. Prototype? There’s the 4.3 SS Chevy Syclone. Production? There’s a Typhoon or Syclone on either end of the building that are brilliantly clean. Want to go racing? The 2 LS-swapped Syclones will have no problems taking down most any sucker….uh, or opponent…that dares to try.

With attendees arriving from all corners of the compass rose, SyTys@Carlisle had on display a large selection of trucks ranging from pre-production, rare 1 of 14 color combinations, to over-the-top modified with every last detail finished off. The SyTy section was adorned with plenty of action as Harmon’s Tiki Bar was open for business with plenty of drinks for everyone to enjoy along with what seemed to be endless BBQ being thrown on the grill and devoured by all. The crew at Sportmachines came prepared with their display of endless shirt choices, posters, and of course engine candy with a variety of choice parts they offer for the trucks. Activities offsite were also planned with a truck photo opp and group dinner held at Appalachian Brewing Company.

This was the 3rd showing for SyTys@Carlisle held on August 5-7th and hosted by Sportmachines and was an event to remember. With over 40 trucks registered and displayed among the grounds and display building, the SyTys took 3rd place in the group category. ISTR encourages all SyTy owners and enthusiasts to make plans to register and attend the 2017 event in which coordination plans are already underway. For those who have never been to a SyTy event, it is truly an experience to stand among a community of owners who not only can be considered friends but also family.
