Any thoughts, or info on the "Great Event" of 2020?
I'm expecting that it's still on...but probably less of an event
My Thoughts- I think it will still be on this year (crossing my fingers anyway) but with less of a turnout. This is a most likely the biggest and best Mopar show on the planet you DO NOT want to miss. I absolutely love this show, as I have been going since 2016.
My Info- Carlisle is celebrating 50 years of the 1970 cars (except the C-bodies) this year. Celebrating the Duster, the Superbird, AAR Cudas and T/A Challengers, and Pro-Stock cars too. I beleive they are also celebrating the Rapid Transit cars too. More info here.....
99 percent of the time it is hot as hell there, so I would highly suggest bringing light clothing, lots of water and a canopy to sit under behind your car with you. Also bring cold cuts, or PB&J's as food prices and lines to get food there are ridiculous.
Carlisle normally have special guests from TV shows, or Mopar movies there. They normally have "The King Of Nascar" Mr. Petty there, sometimes drag racing legends too (this year is Butch Leal who raced California Flash in S/S.) They have a burnout contest where you sit in a barricaded box and blow off your tires, they also have the Daisy Duke contest for the girls (if you are into the Dukes Of Hazzard you understand that), and they have a place for your girlfriend or wife to go to also.
For awards it is participant judged, 1st 2nd 3rd in each class. They also have an awards parade on Sunday.
One more thing, if you are looking for places to eat may I suggest the MiddleSex Diner, the Appalachian Brewery, Black & Bleu, and Hoss's Steakhouse restaurants. They are all fantastic, although the brewery, black and bleu, and Hoss's are a little pricey but not too ridiculous.
That's really all I got, anyone wanna add anything?
