Default Carlisle question???

I know it may be a bit early, but, who's planning on attending Corvettes at Carlisle this year? (8/25-8/27). I'm considering getting a "caravan" up from Florida and cruise up there.

Wife and I should be there on one day. No hotel reservation needed fortunately because her family is in the Chambersburg area.

for those who have never been to carlisle for the show, you will see more corvettes of every generation, of every color, from every state than you have ever seen in your life. we live about 15 min from carlisle & when the corvette show is in town, every highway, street, restaurant, motel, gas station & more has more corvettes around than you could believe. it's worth it friends; do it at least once. bub

I only live 70 miles from Carlisle...and honestly I have been doing all 3 days for at least the last 10-15 years.... and hit the spring, fall and the Gm nationals at least for one day...PLUS if the weather is nice I do at least one day at the other shows,. including the F**d lol Heck a seasons pass is only like 70 bucks...

But getting a Hotel room 50 miles from Carlisle ...is NOT a problem PLUS the daily drive is FUN... To my knoweldge Carlisle itself only has one hotel

sorry to say....well not that sorry BUt I drive the 64...parking is much better in the Mid Year Registry area... what can I say... and I love driving that car anyway...

I'm going to be there if my schedule permits, and I plan to bring a Mustang buddy along with me to show him the light.
