We recognize the largest clubs at the awards ceremony on Sunday. Awards are presented to the three (3) largest clubs (based on the number of registered show vehicles). Clubs that register a minimum of 25 vehicles are eligible to receive the use of a 20’ X 20’ tent for the weekend at no charge.

          Don’t just sit in a lawn chair all weekend; show us what your car can do by taking your turn on our on-site autocross track! The autocross track is located in the North Field. The track has the feel of a road course and features six turns as well as elevation changes. Be sure to sign up early, before it’s sold out. If you’re not ready to get behind the wheel we offer a viewing deck above the track where you can safely watch the action. If you have any questions or want to learn more about autocross competition, members of the Susquehanna Region of the SCCA and its chapter club, the Appalachian Sports Car Club, will be on-hand all weekend.

There aren’t any official rules and the process is simple: just decorate your tent in a manner that would make the Carlisle staff want to hangout with your club for the weekend. Colorful displays, cool banners and people having lots of fun always attract our attention. The winning club will be awarded a banner that can be proudly displayed on your tent for the weekend letting everyone know where the place to be is!

              We will be roaming the IKR Showfield on Friday in search of their ten favorite vehicles to become the newest members of the Carlisle Elite. To be picked for the Carlisle Elite, your car doesn’t have to be rare or a high dollar, professional restoration. In fact, the only real criterion is that it catches our collective eye. Make sure your car is registered and parked on the Showfield on Friday to be eligible.

Owners compete against a set of criteria on the judging sheets rather than against other vehicles. Our qualified judging team consists of knowledgeable automotive enthusiasts and industry professionals. Classes are available for imports, kits and unrestored originals.
