Cutting corners I guess?




No cutting corners just a misprint on the flyer. With over 40 classes, Carlsile is the only show that has more classes than Mopars @ E-Town.

Don't forget every first place winner gets an E-Town Jacket. Does Chryslers @ Carlisle the greatest show on earth (IMO) do that?





First let me say it was a great show. My only issue is the above comment is incorrect. Every first place winner did not get a E-Town jacket. I was, and so were others, in a class that did not have 3 cars in there class so we were not eligible for a jacket. We can't help other people that would be in our class keep there Mopars at home.

They started the first place jacket requirement a few years back. I agree, it's not our problem if enough cars don't fill a class. They keep all our entrance fee. Not a big issue, it was an enjoyable show. I had a blast racing.

Thanks to everyone starting with Ralph including the attendees. I saw so many people some I never caught up with to say hello.

I was a little bummed neither of the two local OE Gold Daytonas didn't show up. I was watching some racing and drooling over pristine restorations. GREAT DAY!

Had a great time.Havent been thier in 10 or 12 years . Won a 3rd place trophy with our challenger which was quite unexpected but appreciated . We had a 3 and half hour ride home back in to pa and couldnt stay for awards . Being from lonely 2 lane roads in rural pa the garden state parkway was also a treat . I thought nascar moved the bristol race to that highway ! lol Great event though thier was something thier for everyone .

"Thanks to everyone starting with Ralph including the attendees. I saw so many people some I never caught up with to say hello."


I for one was very pleased with the turnout. I was expecting maybe 50-60 cars there, but I started counting cars myself and got to 170 but noon. My car got some recognition as well. a First in 6 pack B-Body and best of show. Thanks again for a great day and hope a lot more people show up next year. You won't be disappointed.
P.S. nice meeting you again Dave

After years of spectating, we finally drove out and participated in a really nice show. I too have watched this show circle the drain, but yesterday was a good sign. The weather was perfect.... Show field was jumping..... Beautiful cars left & right.......

Downside? Again, light on vendors and the swap meet was a bit weak. But that will change as confidence grows. This show was definitely one of the better shows I've attended at E-town in YEARS, Congrats to all involved!

I don't know how they can get more vendors to show up. I was going to say, make the spaces REALLY cheap, but I looked up the cost and the spots are only $30. That's already pretty cheap. Maybe additional spaces could be $20? So, $50 for 2, $70 for 3. It might help.

I used to run an antique toy collector show with a buddy of mine. Part of our strategy was to have the cheapest vendor tables... And we did, and it worked! We always had plenty of vendors and plenty of patrons in a time when toy shows and vendors were really droppng off.

What a FANTASTIC day we had had E/town!!!
The weather was real nice,met up with sooo many people and met some members that I havn't met yet
The only thing missing for me was my car
The place wasn't packed,but they sure had a big turnout.The showfield was the biggest I've seen in years
Ralph's supercars group put on one heck of a show with cars that look like they should be trailer queens I really liked the A/FX side show which will motor-vate me to have my car there next year for a little match racing.
I have a few hundred pictures from this event and will post them up as time allows,heck,,,,,,,,,I still have Carlisle pic's to post as well

Special thanks to Ralph,Walter & Bill for making this the best MOPARS @ E,town in a LONG time

I had a blast with many friends.
The only thing I'm mad about is they forgot to give me my Donut voucher for being runner up with my Diplo police package.LOL.

Great job by Ralph. Also a shout out to Walter and the etown crew they did a great job. I'm with the supercar group and we had a blast. Also there were a lot more show poodles than in previous years. Only downside was just a one day event but it is what it is. Looking forward to next years event.

I couldn`t make it Saturday due to Points commitments at another track and came down Sunday to run my D 150 in Trophy and was happy to see there were still a lot of Mopars in the regular E Town classes as well as the Mopar Trophy and Money class.
