Default First time at Corvette Carlisle




This is my first time making it out to Corvette Carlisle and I’ve got to say, what an experience. Everyone I met was super friendly, lots of great conversations and plenty of beautiful Vettes everywhere you look.

The vendor area was loaded with lots of C8 stuff too — real carbon fiber parts, accessories, and even some nice Corvette clothing. So many display, really liked seeing the parts in person.

All in all, an awesome weekend. Definitely won’t be my last Carlisle. Anyone here too?

Good time again this year, vendors seem to be lower in numbers but the weather is the best in years...

It was my first time at Carlisle too. I was there Friday most of the day and intended to go back Saturday (I'm semi-local), but I needed to catch up on sleep after a rough week. It was great and I intend to go back next year. And participate in autocross there too.
