Anyone going this year?

I went there years ago, and what a blast I had.

I have never been up for spring or fall Carlisle, is it just a swap meet or is it a big car show too?  I have been up for the All Ford and MOPAR Nationals.

Just drove by today on the way to Philly and I was just thinking about Spring Carlisle. Glad to know I'm not the only guy with it on my mind!

it's a HUGE swapmeet with a HUGE car corral, the car corral full of awesome cars, the corral itself is almost like a show

I am probably going to go on Saturday and look around for the spring show.  I went to the GM show last year and that was almost a waste of time and money.  I am used to going to the Chrysler show, which is 3x as big as the GM show.

Going to Spring Carlisle on Saturday. Been doing this for a long time. Sometimes I don't find anything but it's fun to walk around.
It's a shame the GM Carlisle hasn't caught on. Don't go on Friday, it's like a ghost town.

Driving down on Wed, going to the show Thurs & Friday with the possibility of Saturday. Definitely driving back on Saturday though.

And if you haven't gone...you should. It's an experience. If nothing else, its a blast to people watch ;D

And yes its a BIG swap meet / car corral. 87 acres from end to end and they stuff stuff in there pretty good. Be prepared to WALK!!!

Heidi - I already pulled my quadrajet out to pull the numbers off it. Laura's excited to go on this scavenger hunt too! That plus the headlight bezels for a 65 Valiant should keep her occupied for a majority of the show.

Ohh and a tip for first timers - bring SUNBLOCK! Seriously. You'll be glad you did.

Here's a pic from about 2 years ago...

Heidi - she's going to kick my friend Rick's and my butt walking around the fairground. She dances (tap and ballet) and also walks 1.5 mi one way to work. I think I'm in serious trouble!!!

Justin - we normally park really close to gate 7. Hit me up via PM and I'll pass along my cell number. Could always meet for lunch either inside or outside the gates.

Bumping this to the top as its next week!!!

Anyone who'd like to meet up either Thurs or Fri - PM me and I'll pass along my cell number. We're parking outside Gate 7 (as usual) and can meet up for lunch somewhere. There's usually a food vendor right where we park or there's always the grandstand.

Tradition REQUIRES us to visit Hoss's once during the trip after the show :)
