Hi guys, I would like to go to Carlisle but dont know anyone who as been there before. I cant go whit the vette as I will stop on my way back from Florida with the minivan so how does it work for parking around the fairfield, do you have to reserve? Do you know if any hotel offer shuttles to the show? Thanks.

Hi There, no need to reserve parking as there is plenty of parking around the fairgrounds for around $10.00 per day. Not sure if any hotels offer shuttles but there is no problem driving your own vehicle over to the fairgrounds, for sure there is traffic but it moves pretty quickly.

Hope that helps ....

Are we going to stick with the usual plan?

Meet at Tims Qew and 3rd line at 5:00am and depart at 5:30am with a rolling meet at Casablanca Rd. First stop at duty free Fort Erie.

Six more sleeps for my first vettefest

Things to do at Carlisle:

1. Visit ACS booth for cool aero stuff
2. Go to GM tent and hear denials of mid-engine Vette rumours
3. Burnout contest
4. Try to score free stuff at Meguiar's booth
5. Buy Corvette themed t-shirt
6. Get Kooks headers and exhaust
7. Edelbrock supercharger.
8. Hummm... Scratch 6 & 7 and stay married.

YMMV but I haven't had the front plate on my car in two seasons and I haven't had a problem. Crossed a least 5 times.
