Default Carlisle question

I have been to Corvettes at Carlisle a few times, it was fun.

But, does anyone know if they have improved the main single lane road to the fairgrounds. that experience was such a pain in the butt that I haven't been there in several years

thanks

No, no real improvements no matter what direction you're coming from. The best bet is to get there early. By 8:00 it's a slow moving parking lot from the PA turnpike to any of the gates. Coming up through town (rt 11?) is no picnic either.

I was just there for the big Spring show last weekend.

Nothing has changed since the late 80's when I first started going.

There are some alternative routes, actually extremely beautiful back roads - check them out here: click me.

We hope to see you during Corvettes at Carlisle!

Sincerely,
