Please give it a sticky. Thanks

And there you go!

me goin !

We're bring the PA Posse again this year! We will meet and LEAVE the Carlisle Fairgrounds at 7:30am if anyone wants to join us.

From there, we will head south on 81 and grab another car or two at the Newville exit.

Then we'll meet up with the next group at the Sheetz in Greencastle (45 Antrim Commons Drive) and LEAVE there at 8:30.

I really hope to see a lot of people there!! This show means a lot to me and I'd love to see it get back to the size it used to be.

You and me both, Ed. I've been going to this show since 1994 (only missed three years) and it's really shrunk over the last several years.

I blame the weather, honestly. I think this year is the first time in ages that there hasn't been a threat of thunderstorms on the day of the show.

I'd love to see it as big as it was in the '90s and '00s.

I first went in '87 or '88 (I think it was '88) which is when it was still at the mall. It was my first Mopar show ever. My dad went with me and some of the "older" local Mopar guys from the Carlisle area let me follow them down. I don't think they really wanted a kid (I was about 17) tagging along and I don't blame them. But we are all friends to this day. I was just planning to attend as a spectator but my dad insisted I show my Dart. I didn't have the money so Dad paid my entry fee. Dad wasn't a car guy but he knew my passion for Mopars. We had a great time! People were looking at my Dart, taking pictures and it even got a few votes. I didn't get a trophy but people seemed to like my Dart and that was a WIN in my book. I have never cared about car show trophies. Dad even bought me an event shirt and I still have it!!

We had 12 cars in our caravan yesterday which sadly was about 10% of the show field. I was reg number 80 something and I would guess they had around 100 cars total. It was still a GREAT event with lots of GREAT people and cars!! I will support this show until I'm the only one showing up, sitting in the field by myself.

Weather seems to always be against this show. Yesterday was no different. The forecast went from PERFECT, to a chance of rain later in the day. The reality was a light sprinkle at our 3rd meetup location, cloudy skies all day, a few drips here and there in the afternoon then finally it rained (I was on my way home by the time the rain hit).

I know from experience that you can't do anything about the weather and a date change isn't as easy as it sounds (the track has their event schedule, there are other shows to consider, staff schedules, and so on). I would love to see this show get back to the 500+ cars that I remember (maybe my memory isn't so good, maybe is was 300ish). In reality, the weather wasn't bad at all for a car show. We just need MORE CARS to actually show up!!!!

Yeah, kinda sad how the show has shrunk in size in recent years. Was hoping it was going to be great this year but reasons unknown to me has kept it on the smaller size again this year. I will continue to support it till the end. Sometimes it seems like people just look for reasons not to go. Who knows???

I can relate to that .. every year my local track Island Dragway has a small Mopar race called Mopars at the Patch and its the same thing .. small attendance , I post it on a few Mopar web sites and it still doesn't help . I go every year sometimes running my Dart and my pickup in two different classes . This year its on October 22nd

I was number 108 with my Challenger. Took first place in Domestic 1994-up. The show-car count seemed to be up a bit this year, and I think there were a few more racers this year, too.

They did get all the racing done before the rain (which was completely absent from the forecast until like Saturday afternoon!) kicked in. Props to the guy with the red Challenger Demon, who drove the car to Mason-Dixon on the drag radials, ran 9.9's all day, and then drove it home.
Good turnout from the Slant Six series guys, too. No show-car passes this year, but that's understandable since they were trying to finish before the rain.

When I was just about home from the show last Sunday, a horrendous squealing noise suddenly started from under the hood. Today, I finally got around to having a look and found that the nut holding the PS pulley on was missing. Fortunately, the pulley stayed where it belonged. I dug through my spares and found another PS pulley nut. I've never before seen that happen. It could have been a lot worse.
