We went to Carlisle for the first time this year. Met a bunch of folks from the FBBO club.
It's a neat, organized event with more than I could take in within the 3 days we were there.
I'm hoping to regularly attend that event personally.
Here's a handful of the FBBO celebrities we got to meet...

Who are all those old people?
To answer the original question, what do you want in a Mopar show?
Moparwacko rating system:
1. Carlisle - 3000+ registered show vehicles. There is no comparison to swap meet anywhere in the world.
There isn't any drag racing, but if swap meet and show cars are what you're after this is the place.
2. Holley Moparty in Bowling Green KY. Smallish swap meet, on-site drag racing, good show car turn out and a huge Hillbilly fun factor. Event has become big and soon huge.
3.Summit Motorsports Mopar Madness, okay it's not called that anymore. Local Dodge dealer sponsored now, but on-site all Mopar drag racing (huge)at the premiere track in Ohio.
Small swap meet section and very few show vehicle's. This event is growing.
Dying Events:
Mopar Nationals. This event has been on life support for years. It used to be the top dog, but no more. After hours cruises used to be a major draw, but no longer true.
MATS in Vegas. Another that was fun a few years ago. On-site drag racing at it's finest, not much else but great after hours gatherings at various venues.
Disclaimer- these are the events I have been to, your mileage may vary, take this advice with tongue in cheek, and under strict adult supervision only. Frequenting certain venues in Las Vegas may cause unwanted or undesirable symptoms or circumstances, caution should be exercised, consult with your physician if necessary.
