I have done Carlisle all 27 years of the Chrysler show -- and watched from its infancy how the show has grown from a little postage stamp to filling all 94 acres -- with cars, swap meet, car corral, events,
seminars, special guests (through the years -- Richard Petty, Virgil Exner Jr., "Daisy Duke", etc., etc.). They DO make an effort at Carlisle to expand the show and make it better and better for a MOPAR
enthusiast. Anyone who is anyone in parts is at Carlisle...
Meanwhile, I have done the Mopar Nationals for 21 years (this year was its' 35th annual) -- ever since my neighbors, at the time, told me about it -- and that show 20 years ago was actually better than
Carlisle.... However, through these 21 years -- the show has shrunk every year -- some vendors have blown it off for years now -- there is a lot less space... for everything... Yes, there is racing on the
site at "the Nats", but it is not like it is Kyle Busch, Jimmy Johnson, John Force, and Cruz Pedregon -- it is John Jones, Jim Smith, and Fred Marshall --- ho, hum....
I think you are getting the idea --- come visit me at H107 - H108 at Chryslers @ Carlisle -- for the best MOPAR spread of parts on the field !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or (probably 1 last year for me) ----- at S13 - S15 at the Mopar Nationals in Hebron (not really Columbus), Ohio.......
