We'll be in the area from the 21st through the 28th to knock out anyone's tuning needs. So please let us know if you're interested in having any porting work done or tuning.

Should be a great year before the C7 launch!!

I never pay attention to the walk in gates, but have my son coming up one day this year. Does anyone know the best walk in gate and parking near it? I was thinking gate 6 or 7 might be, any thoughts??

Best parking and walk in gate is gate 3 (main gate) There is a older couple who have a large yard which they use for parking right ajacent Gate 3. $5 and usually plenty of room. Ken

This is my first year owning a Corvette, also first time attending Carlisle. I have read the flyer, watched some videos and i can not decide if i can just go one day maybe Friday or Saturday and have enough. What goes on at night after the event? What kind of hidden fun is out there when the event is over for the day? Is there something i may be missing or the actual event something you can attend for 4 days.......

You cannot see or experience the Carlisle show in one,even two days..especially your first time.

As far as after hour event activities, The guys from Adams Polish usually host a free party across the street from the fairgrounds on Friday night.. Good group

Many times I parked outside the fairgrounds on the side streets between Gates 1 and 3. Plenty of parking a block or two away, and completely safe.

The Adam's party is a private event for Adam's customers. It's not a free for all. If Adam himself hasn't invited you..........don't show up. Just wanted everyone to know that instead of assuming that it's free for everyone.

Sign up for the Fun Field. You can park your Vette right in the fairgrounds with all the others. You will get a sticker to affix to your windshield that will allow you to drive right in every day through Gate 3. You can sign up for the parade once you get on the fairgrounds.

Enjoy it

Yeah, the party has been getting bigger each year because people assume they can just show up and bring buddies. Adam foots the bill for this every year so you can imagine his cost just for those who are invited! He's a great guy and would give you the shirt off his back.........but like I said, if you're not invited, don't show up.
But he's pretty generous with his invites.

Adam is very generous with his invites. Ive been using his products for almost 10 years , and first met Adam about 2005 at Carlisle. He invited me to the party,that night,great food great people.

I stop and see him,and get products at the booth every year, havent been to the parties in a couple oy years,Last year when he asked me if i was coming, (couldnt make had other plans) he almost made me feel guilty for not coming. As mentioned, Adam is a great down to earth guy, and his products are top notch...
