About Carlisle ( sorry my ignorance )

[Nacho-RT74]

Hi buddies... I'm tempted but want to know first:

what exactly is "Carlisle" ? I have understood is kinda Mopar Meet, but will love to know more about

Where exactly in USA is located ? when is the show ?

Is there a cheap Hotel around ?

Or does somebody would give me refugee ?

Or Maybe does somebody will give me a ride up Carlisle and at the same time REFUGEE ? LOL.

Carlisle is a town in Pennsylvania.

They have several car show/swap meets throughout the year at the fair grounds.

Most are specific to a make or type of car - Chevy, Ford, Kit car, etc..
But there's a couple that are generic - generically speaking. 

Check out that link for all the details.


Sorry, I can't offer you a ride. I don't plan on attending this year.

Nacho- I do plan on attending: I have been to every one since they began in 1991. It has grown to the point where it is THE biggest Mopar show on the east coast, and it is giving the Nats a run for its money for overall size. It is the best organized show of it's size, bar none- Nats included. The only thing the Nats has that Carlisle doesn't is an on-site race track. There are many hotels in the area, but they book up early- a late booking would probably put you in neighboring Harrisburg, but there's enough guys here that have some extra space (myself included) that we could probably find a spot for ya if you made it!

I think I could make it, but being my first time in USA and even more on a car show, dunno how to drive the stuff up there, specially with VERY TIGHT funds and another language

I know how to drive in Spain and Venezuela, but not up there  ( I'm looking kinda stupid huh ?  lol )

I think in fact at this moment I would love to have a father up there... does somebody need a SON for a weekend ? LOL

That all depends on how much it pays.

That's the Mopar Nationals, which is in Columbus Ohio. I haven't been to the Nats, but from what I've heard from folks who regularly attend both, unless you're big into the racing, go to Carlisle- it's much better organized, has better facilities, although the after hours activity on Brice Road seems to be what keeps a lot of interest going- not a lot of after hours cruising goes on at Carlisle. Maybe someone will chime in who actually does both, if you need more advice.
