Look me up at the Callaway tent.

I hope all my Corvette forum friends look for me at the Callaway tent. I will be there Friday and Saturday. I will have a 2011 Corvette Convt Grand Sport specially prepared by Callaway on display/for sale. I will be one of the many with a perma grin as Corvette's at Carlisle is the only place to be this time of year.

come say Hi,

No you can buy a ticket at any one of the gates. It's 90 acres, have your walking shoe's on and don't forget to try the Philly cheese steaks!!

See you there.

90 acres? Is that right? Every year I go it seems I just don't have time to see and experience everything ... and I'm there from Thursday to Sunday - no wonder if we're spread out over 90 acres

Thanks, I just thought maybe there was a reason to buy tickets between now and then on line. Been to the grounds before so I know the size and I'm driving 2.5 hours to get there and have to be home Friday night so I'm sure I'll be more than done by Friday night.

90 acres is correct. During Spring and Fall Carlisle if you walk every path it would be 14 miles of walking!
