I won't be at Carlisle, I simply have too much going on this summer, but I will be at Mopar Nationals in Columbus in August. Look for me at the Gerko Enterprises vendor tent. last year we were next to the trailer full of girls selling mopar shirts/hats, just inside the staging lanes

Not sure why Mancini no longer attends, they usually had a large display, seemed to have lots of stuff going out the door. Would think the customer base would like seeing stuff first hand, even if to be ordered later online. They were not there in 2015. They had their Semi tractor listed for sale last year, I did not expect them back.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The autocross site at Carlisle is very very small -- I've seen it and proposed to the Carlisle mngt many years ago (2005) to host autocrossing for the Chrysler/Mopar wknd... they said they do it for other clubs (imports, Corvettes, etc)... then Hotchkis stepped in... that was great, but NOT, IMO, to allow only Hothckiss cars... then a year later they opened it up to all cars... that was a good step forward. I'd be much more willing to go the distance to a show, in particular Mopar shows, IF they have AX/HSAX/HPDE events going on.
Then west coast Spring Fling is on my bucket list... a great day to be experienced at the Willow Springs road race track, and the Mopar shows that follow.
My "Show" with my car is on a race track (AX/HSAX/HPDE)... not sitting doing nothing. I'm very reluctant to attend boring, sitting car shows... cars are meant to be driven... not dusted... muscle cars need to "show" what they can do on a track.. being driven... and the skill of the driver to be displayed, as well.
I've even offered to run and organize AX/HSAX/HPDE events for car shows that can offer those events... space/location permitting.
Remember the Monster Mopar Wknd at the Lucas Speedway a few years ago (~2009)? That AX/HSAX was the best one ever... we had ~80 entries, unlimited timed runs... safe and a blast of fun for all! It had the car show, the AX/HSAX and drag racing.. and of course the swap/vendors... One of the best shows yet!... all inclusive!!!

There was no Autocross this year. Yes there was. Friday night only because Hotchkis couldn't attend. Dave Howell won the Real Street Shootout 3rd year in a row.
