Carlisle Import Auto Show (Central PA)

[Chris Taylor <chtaylo4@vt.edu>]

This just went across the Corrado List--I'm going!  Anyone else interested?
We could get a scirocco club tent!  

>Hi All, 
>	I just wanted to share with you a show that is going on in Carlisle, PA
>from May 9-11. This show is the Import, Kit and Replicar show. It covers
>all manner of import cars, and is really starting to grow. Two highlights
>are the great swapmeet and the Sunday Car Giveaway. 
>	The Giveaway this year is an 86 Alfa Romeo Spyder. All you need is your
>entrance tickets from any day and be present within 15minutes of the
>announcement to win. In the past I've seen em giveaway a '69 Beatle with
>Porsche 6cylinder and a Beck 550 Spyder Replica (remember James Dean). 
>	Gates open at 7AM and adult daily admission is $5. It's cheaper though to
>enter your car. If you enter your car you get a "goody bag" including among
>other things two chances for the giveaway car and 2 weekend passes (i.e.
>you get in all weekend, unlike the $5 each for a daily pass if not
>showing). It's much cheaper to show your car. 
>	For clubs, if you get 20 cars preregistered you can get a tent. So for the
>CCA or any other club, if we get 20 cars we'll get a tent for the club for
>meetings and display to sign new members. You can enter any car, and I'll
>enter my 2 (Jetta and Corrado) under the CCA name, so we're 10% of the way
>there. There are camping facilities, so if you have a tent it can be a
>really cheap weekend.
>	Carlisle is located about 10-15min. west of Harrisburg PA, easiest found
>by taking the PA turnpike to the Carlisle exit and it's 5 minutes from
>there. From DC it's less than 2 hour's drive, and Philly about 2 hours. I
>can get directions for interested parties or call the Carlisle people at
>(717)243-7855.
>	There is a competition show field, stereo and autocross competition. Other
>events are a Specialty Car Manufacturer's Car Corral, Seminars, Cruise and
>Club Gatherings. The Honda and other Japanese showing has been getting
>stronger over the years, and I'd love to show them up. I'm going to enter
>both of my VWs in the show. It's not like Waterfest with alot of serious
>show cars, and entering your daily driver will not be embarrassing parked
>next to the likes of Euro-tec's 60K Cabrio.
>	I'm going to attempt to get a CCA table up and running and will talk that
>over with the CCA at the organizational meeting.
>	The show field is a weak point as far as import cars go. The kit and
>replica field is usually alot bigger. A VW dealer is usually in attendance
>with a tent full of the new VW products. I'd like to encourage anyone close
>by to go, and it's not because I am affiliated with the Carlisle
>Fairgrounds in any way. This is just a great venue for a show, and a strong
>VW Audi showing would be very cool. If the following got large enough, I'm
>sure CFG would separate the shows again as it used to be just the Import
>Auto Show. 
>	I just thought I'd spout this out, as it's an early show in the east coast
>show season. AND if you have a VW, Audi, Porsche, Triumph or Fiat or
>whatever, it's showable.
>	Maybe we can plan some sort of cookout nearby. My family has a house in
>Hershey (1/2 hour away) and there are some great places in the area. If you
>get bored at the show and want to see the sights, I may even be able to get
>some discounts from Hershey Park.
