Chrysler Carlisle July 10-12, 2026

There's no problem driving back n forth to hotel/show with registered vehicle as long as not indoor garage correct?
 
I made it to the final round of the "Cars from High School" display a few years ago, and got rejected at midnight when the count was finalized. It was kind of a relief, because my buddy who would have been my transportation to the hotel had to bail at the last minute. I would have been landlocked with the indoor display. With the show field you are free to go back and forth.
 
And, perhaps I should have also stated that one other person (so two total) can be in your car and get in when you drive in...

...unless you stick them in the trunk like old times at a drive in theater!!
 
Come and go as you please
Or apparently just stay

This site is your best source of info for first timers. Just find our Tent, and mention FBBO when registering.
 
Anything i should know for a first timer?
The "big" days for looking at cars is Friday and Saturday. Those are also the days with the most people.

You can leave your car on the grounds overnight if you like - a number of people do. If you do not, just be prepared for a very clogged traffic jam on Friday and Saturday to get into the grounds. Leave yourself plenty of time. Assuming you register your car for the show field (and yes, please list FBBO as your club!), you will have a decal for your car that allows for you and one other passenger to get in each day. Anyone else and they will need to walk in and pay separately. You will also get a map of the grounds so you should be able to see the area where you will need to park. Parking spots are not reserved, there is just an area depending on the designation of your car (e.g. stock, modified, year, etc.).

If you are looking for parts, I'd suggest prioritizing Thursday and a bit Friday to look for them. You can easily spend an entire day just walking through the parts vendors - maybe more if you take your time.

Yes, it will likely be very hot. Make sure you have sunscreen, hats, and drink plenty of fluids. There is always a chance of a good old fashioned thunderstorm too - it's all part of the experience. Be prepared for the weather so it won't bother you so much. If you plan to sit with your car be sure to bring some shade - you will want it. However, if you do bring a canopy BE SURE you can lock it down tight. It can get very windy and trust me when I say your neighbor car friends will not be happy if your canopy blows around on to their cars!

Mostly, be prepared to have fun - it's a great time with lots of amazing cars and stuff to see. And of course, be sure to plan time at noon on Saturday for the now famous FBBO luncheon!
 
Gonna DM Pistol Pete about ice/supply needs. Checked with 71RRHI about cart info, may rent one Friday to get more range inside the show.
