I'll be there. Our group always does very well in the show field. Of course you all do well, you vote for yourselves. THere is a certain a body that gets a first place every year, the gap between the fender and hood is just hideous. He's in one of the local clubs. Voting at Carlisle means nothing. My first time entering a car at Carlilse my daughter and I were excited about trying to get a trophy in my class. Of course it was just my opinion but I didn`t see any cars in my class that year that I thought would do better. I was thinking I could get 1st place. I didn`t really know anybody back then at the show. Many of the others I noticed knew each other and seemed to be in the click. My daughter went over to see the winners list and she was crying saying we only got 3rd place. I was actually happy about winning knowing that many others were all voting for each other. After that I never cared if I won anything or not.

After that I never cared if I won anything or not. Cars are not Judged at Carlisle. They are voted on. I brought a 71 GTX 6bbl car that had been picked by Chrysler to be in their display at SEMA. They paid to have the car transported to and from SEMA. It won First at the Mopar Nats and every show it ever appeared in. We brought it to Carlisle. Nothing. Won nothing. I have never returned to this show, nor will I ever bring a car again. It is great place to get parts and meet with friends. Judged car show it is not.

Hi All,
Man it's been awhile since I posted, I just don't get on here much anymore. I just wanted to let everyone know that my stepdad and I will be going to Carlisle this year and we will be travelling there on Wednesday, leaving at 7am and meeting a friend or 2 along the way. If all goes good with traffic and all we should be there early afternoon. The Great Pumpkin or our 1970 Fury III FK3 Burnt Orange 4-door hardtop will be going this year for its debut show, (for us anyway) and will be in the survivors tent display. We will also be bringing this in the 2nd picture, our big beige 1973 Plymouth Custom Suburban station wagon. It will be in the 1969-1973 C-body stock class. If you see us behind either of these 2 cars and would like to, stop by and say hello.
I can't believe the show is only 4 days away now, I can't wait. It's always a great time.
See everyone there!
The great pumpkin looks great! I love it!

3,101 cars in the show to set an all-time record. I sit down in the Celebrity Luncheon (no, I am NOT a celebrity!) and who should sit down right across from me but Miss Claudia, the Direct Connection girl we all loved so... amazing how she managed to transport me back in time right to being a tongue-tied adolescent. She was a lot of fun to talk to, although I felt bad for her hubby, as he might have said three or four words. Have an old Car Craft with an article about the Sox & Martin team that is divided into three sections—"If Ronnie Drives the Cars, and Jake Builds the Engines, What does Buddy Do?" Ronnie had signed his part of the article in 2000. I worked just a couple blocks away from where Jake had his very last shop here in Burlington, NC and got him to sign his part just a few years before he passed, and finally was able to get Buddy to sign his part at the show. To say I was stoked about that is an understatement. It was a Mopar quest completed for me. All around it was a great show in spite of the rain on Saturday!

If during that time, they "disappear" (fuel, electric, etc), they'll be collectibles. Just changing demographics. Who still goes to the Hershey show? Was always 20-30-40's cars
