LAST CALL for applications for the Featured Vehicle Displays at the Carlisle Import & Performance Nationals held at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds on May 15-16. We still have a couple of openings for the Around the World, Maserati and Supercar displays, which will all be housed INDOORS. To summarize, the Around the World display is basically open to ANY import and/or performance car, same as would be eligible for the Showfield. Ideally, we'd like a few more classics (think chrome bumpers). We're celebrating 100 Years of Maserati and wouldn't complain if we got 1 or 2 more, especially an older one.

Finally, can you ever have too many Supercars? We think not. We currently have 10 including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and McLaren. More is always better!

The show itself features over 2,000 vehicles on the Showfield which is open to all Import and Performance vehicles. There's also a huge automotive flea market and car corral. Watch or participate in action-packed activities including: autocross, drifting, burnout and donut contest, low car limbo, exhaust contest and drift limbo.
