7. Saturday @ NOON - August 23, 2014 - REV YOUR ENGINES for 15 seconds & follow with a moment of silence. A tribute for my father, Chip Miller, who passed away from amyloidosis (more info: ChipMiller.org). This rev is for every Corvette hobbyist who lost a loved one or dear friend – let them hear and feel the rumble!
8. Chip's Choice is a special invitation-only display inside of Building T that highlights one aspect of the Corvette hobby. This year's theme will focus on the story behind the car. We're seeking Corvettes that honor relationships related to the vehicle. Such as a bonding experience through a restoration, or perhaps a love story that turned into marriage and etc.
10. We’re delighted to have the Chevrolet Team during Corvettes at Carlisle. This year expect to see a large number of Engineers and other GM team members sharing their knowledge on the all new Corvette. This will be something every Corvette enthusiast won’t want to miss!
If you have any questions, please feel free posting them here & I'll be happy to answer them for you. I'm looking forward to another incredible year; we appreciate your support!
If anyone has anything else that would be helpful to add - please feel free posting it here.
Again, I'm looking forward to another wonderful year of Corvettes at Carlisle!
Life is good,
Lance Miller

We had our hotel reservations for 2014 confirmed when we checked in at this year's Corvettes at Carlisle. Registered for the 2014 Fun Field as soon as we got to the Fun Field this year. Now for the LONG wait!!

So, maybe I missed it - when I went to the Carlisle site, I didn't see Corvette Forum in the list of clubs.
I'm sure many people are members of local clubs, but wouldn't there be enough interest for those without local clubs to attend as Corvette Forum Members?
Or is there more to it than that?

How do you get your car in the tent?
I have a 64 coupe that's got 4 picks in a row. How do you get in the tent for the 1964's ? Would be neat to have a car in it, even though mine is not stock.

Please click on the following link to enter your '64 for the '64 Reunion. Joe Clemente will review all entries and make final decisions closer to the event. The vehicle does not have to be stock to be welcome into the tent display. We also have plenty of room surrounding the tent for '64s to park as well. It'll be a great year and we appreciate your interest.
Sincerely,
Lance

Question about entry form.
On page 2 it doesn't list corvettes at carlisle as an event. How will you know what event I'd like to be considered for? Sorry for all the questions , don't want to mess this up.

Silly question, but this being my first time going to Carlisle I will ask. Can I get a 1 day pass in advance? All I see on the site are weekend passes. Thanks!!!

We do not have a one day pass for sale online, if you are coming for the day I'd recommend just purchasing a ticket at the gate upon your arrival - parking is available on-grounds for a small fee (for Corvettes only) and there is plenty of parking all around the facility by neighboring properties.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate asking them here. We look forward to having you!
Sincerely,
Lance
PS Sorry for the slow response, I'm in FL preparing for another event we're hosting this coming weekend.

You can get a one day pass at the gate, but not park in the Fun Field. You'll park in the general Corvette parking area up the hill. If it's hot, that's a cool break from the lower showfield area. Bring a folding chair, a hat, sunscreen and lots of $$ for all the goodies you'll want to buy.

The absolute BEST way to experience Corvettes at Carlisle is to get the Fun Field Pass. If for no other reason than it has the best parking in the place! Plus you get a nice goodie bag filled with some good stuff. And on Saturday, there are celebrity judges who go around the grounds and pick their favorite Corvette (don't think yours isn't show quality, it doesn't matter) for a trophy. I've seen everything from unpainted barn finds to super modified, to bone stock be picked.
Plus another advantage to parking in the fun field is that you can bring a couple of those folding chairs in a bag and have a place to sit. You'll need it! Plus you can even bring one of those folding tents for shade. And believe me, there is VERY LITTLE shade there and I've been there some years when it's been over 100*.
To me, it's the only way to attend.
