CORVETTES AT CARLISLE - August 24-27, 2017 - OFFICIAL THREAD
If you have any questions regarding this year's Corvettes at Carlisle event, please feel free asking them on this thread. I'll be happy to help assist any any questions you might have. Thanks!

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! You might want to check our website for those sweet Holiday discounts. http://carlisleevents.com
Life is good, Lance |
I registered last week for the event. There are still a few motels left in the area at about half the price of the "recommended" hotels on your website. I don't imagine the rooms will last long -- had a hard time finding a place to stay the last time I attended, so booked early this time.

Looks like I may be hitting the Chevrolet Nationals as well just out of curiosity since they changed the name from GM Nationals. Carlisle is always a good time. Only bad thing is that we enjoy it so much that we can't wait to go, but when it's over, summer is just about over. I wish there was some kind of 1 day show for fun in May to tide us over till the big show. :thumbs: |

Good idea. The closer you get to the fairgrounds, the more the hotels gouge the attendees. We stayed in Scotland last year because our usual hotel wen to a 3 night minimum and went from $129 to $179 a night. 2017 we'll be at the Country Inn and Suites thanks to my son.

I have my tickets already! And I can't wait since it's 19 degrees outside right now!

Took advantage of the discount and picked up a showfield pass for the Chevy Nationals too.

Just curious about the reserved section and Chip's circle. Will not be coming in til Friday, so would like reserved so that we get a good spot, but in the ticket info it talks about 2 days of "celebrity choice judging" so that does that mean we are signing up to be judged? We have a base stingray, so don't want to be judged and don't want to feel dumb parked next to all the cool cars! LOL!! Can anyone explain what this means?
Also, do most people go to the dinner Fri night? Thanks!! |
No worries buddy. The "judging" is just for fun by celebrity judges. I've seen barn finds with barely any paint on them get a celebrity pick. We did the Chips Circle last year and it included the dinner. It was very nice, and the fact that we got lunch all four days was a bonus since we didn't have to walk around and wait in lines to eat. I believe I read that the lunch is only on Friday and Saturday this year. Dinner Friday night was prime rib and pasta. Very good and plenty of everything to go around. There were probably 100 people there. Plus it included a tour of the Miller garage of cars. This year we're opting just for reserved parking and already have our assigned spot number. The two day judging thing just means that it increases your chance of getting a celebrity pick, because they normally only do it on Saturday.
It just depends on how much money you want to spend. If you go to the dinner Friday night, there is a silent auction and a live auction and some of the items go for $1000's. Fun to watch though. You'll need a nice shirt, recommend no hat. |
Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it. Think I'll go reserved parking only, and save the extra $$ towards a nice hotel. Thank again!!!

We'd be staying there again this year but managed to snag a free room closer thanks to our son's hotel points. |
The wife and I are thinking about attending this event. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone stayed at Days Inn North or Super 8 North? Last year we stayed at Days Inn - Chambersburg but looking to get a little closer this year.
Wondering if they are decent places? John |
Check the Super 8 South.
