Did anyone make it to Carisle, PA for the corvette show? I went on Sunday, loved all the displays and filled up my car with parts from the swap shop.

yep, that must have been ugly. My wife drove home Saturday afternoon and warned me about that problem - construction, 1 lane. Fortunately I left Carlisle at 6:30 am and breezed right through. Getting in Saturday morning was a real pain. Took about an hour. The heat Saturday was a real problem also. Nowhere to get relief. I saw one overweight lady who looked to be in pretty bad shape: She was sitting in a C5 with the engine running and obviously had the A/C on.Wayne88 said:I got there Sunday at 9:AM. Turned out to be a great day weatherwise & everything else.
Only one negative all day, going home on RT 78 East, it took us about 1 hour to go 5 miles at one stretch. Narrowed down to 1 lane for roadwork.
We were in "Corvette Heaven" for a day.
My wife and also got stuck on I-78 around 7pm Sat. But had to wait over 1 1/2 Hrs. to get in Sat. morn. around 9:30. Waited to get into Gate 3 to find out we had to turm around and go to the next area to park for $5. Only certian were allowed to drive into the Gate area. Did you need a Reserved Sticker to be able to park inside the Fairgrounds ?Wayne88 said:I got there Sunday at 9:AM. Turned out to be a great day weatherwise & everything else.

You should have been allowed inside if you were driving a Corvette. You did not need to be pre-registered.jdenn47 said:My wife and also got stuck on I-78 around 7pm Sat.

I went on Sunday. I left Philly around 5:00am. Got to Carlisle about 7:15. I parked inside about 5 rows back. The grounds really filled up as I was walking back to the car for a parts and lunch break drop. I think you have to get there really early. I didn't see that many vettes when I came off the turnpike. I asked my buddy if we were at the right show and date.gray85 said:Did anyone make it to Carisle, PA for the corvette show?

Ah, yes...Saturday is a real killer! Unless you're there early...and do I ever mean early...you're in for an enormous wait!!! Believe it or not, Alan and I were on the field that day at 5:40 a.m.:eek That's because we're very attached to the very same parking spot we have each year, and we wanted to be sure to get it! We did, by the way!jdenn47 said:Hi Elain,
Sorry we never got to get to see you and Alan there. We got there at Gate 3 at 10:30, after over 1 1/2 hr. wait and went around the big circle where they directed us. When we got to the entrance, the guard pointed us and other Vettes to turn left, back where we started from and we then parked in a lot right next to the entrance. We were told later that the lot was full and unless you had a parking pass, the Yellow sticker in the window, you couldn't park inside. Overall we enjoyed our first visit to the event. Got to ge a pass next time though.
