Default Who is going to Carlisle 2018 / From where? Driving What?

I'm going - heading up from Asheville, NC - Driving my 2014 VY Stingray Vert!
See you guys there! Hoping to fall into some type of vette caravan on the way!


This is my first time there - anything you guys suggest?

Driving up from Charlotte - leaving Wed - going about 6 hours to get to Northern VA. Drive the rest of the way to get there Thursday AM. Stop in Carlisle to pick up some ice and beer. Start of a great 3 day weekend. Been there the last 5 years. Bringing my 16 LBR Vert. The wife and I come in 2 cars - she has the pop-up tent and chairs to chill out with. The parade is worth it - a good time - unless you have a manual. Lots of great restaurants in the area. We are pre-reserved at space IC-057. Feel free to stop by.

I’m from Northern Virginia. I’ll be headed up there with two other Vette guys for the day on Friday.

The last time I was there was 2008. I remember they had the C6 ZR1 there before it was released.

Coming from NJ in my 2015 C7. Any ideas on where to park-haven't been to Carlisle in 20+ years.

Default Parking

All I know is...If you drive a Corvette, you can park in the FUN FIELD (Corvettes only) for $75. That includes admission for (2) adults and parking for the entire event.
That's what we are doing.

We're driving a whopping 45 minutes from Gettysburg to Carlisle..... this is about the only time I'm close by to something like this.

Going for Friday only. Driving THIS ^

In the meanwhile....... I've got our Vette at our lake home at Smith Mountain Lake, VA and have tickets to the IMSA Weathertech race at VIR ( Virginia International Raceway) THIS Sunday..... Corvette Corral, Parade Laps, etc, etc !!! That is only an hour and a half from our lake place !!!! Can't wait.

Heading up from Eastern NC on Thursday on my 16 Z51. Never been to this event before but it sounds like fun. Unsure on show or Fun field for parking. Not concerned with showing or winning anything but they are same price.

Heading to PA early Wednesday morning from Wilmington, NC in a 16 AW Z06. Staying with family in NEPA, about 1.5hrs from Carlisle and will be driving to the show for Friday/Saturday and possibly Thursday as well. I got a Fun Field pass as this is the first year for me with a Corvette, but I've gone to the show several times in the past. Hoping for clear weather as well!

Pulling somewhat similar itinerary. Going to VIR IMSA race and then to relatives in Western PA, then out to Carlisle for a couple of days. Not sure which ones.
