This Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation has been part of Corvettes at Carlisle since the passing of Chip Miller in the early 2000s.  Most recently, the foundation has crafted a great way for you to support the cause, while also having a chance to win an amazing C8 Corvette! This year, the Corvette Contest returns and the prize is BETTER THAN EVER.  With your donation, you’ll earn sweepstakes tickets for a stunning 2023 Z06 with Z07 Performance Package. 

This car has been the most anticipated sports car of the year.  It has the elegance and performance of a Corvette; with the style of a luxury car.  Adorned in Red Mist Metallic, this may be your only chance to get one, as they are VERY hard to come by.  Purpose-built for the track, but every bit a street machine, you’ll find a 670 HP V8 under the…trunk.  Your donation could see you piloting the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 available, all while going from 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. 

Donation amounts vary for entry into the sweepstakes.  The base option is $25 and yields 10 tickets.  There are $50, $100, $200, $350, $500, $1,000, and $2,000 options too.  Each option includes exponentially more entries into the sweepstakes.  Enter now and in a few months, donate again.  The more times you enter, the more tickets you'll get and the more chances you have.  This contest runs until 11:59 (and 59 seconds) PM on September 23.  The drawing will take place at 3 PM on September 30.  You can even gift an entry.  Either way, your donations help support the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation and its continued journey to raise money and awareness for the deadly disease that took Chip from us.

Part of what makes Corvettes at Carlisle what it is, are the clubs that attend! If your club is not yet deemed an Officially Recognized Club, the first step is to apply. Officially Recognized Clubs have the ability to rent a club tent as a place to hang out and socialize throughout the show!

If your club gets a club tent, you also have the chance to compete in our Hemmings Club Challenge & Coolest Club Contest! The Hemmings Club Challenge Award is presented to the three largest official clubs, based on the number of registered show vehicles. The Coolest Club Contest is based on if we feel like your club tent is the place we'd want to hangout in. Whether that be the atmosphere, decorations, or anything else that makes the club stand out!

We hope to host your club gathering at Corvettes at Carlisle this year!

One of the best parts of the Corvette weekend is spending time with some of the most relevant names in the Corvette hobby. What tops that? Having your Corvette chosen as a Celebrity Choice Award winner! The “ celebrities” are notable people within the Corvette hobby, such as GM engineers who were the visionaries behind the cars you love, club leaders who make it their mission to bring people to the event each year, Corvette dignitaries and special guests from throughout the Corvette world. Receiving a Celebrity Choice award is a true honor when a celebrity is selecting your car from a Fun Field filled with beautiful Corvettes representing all generations. The choice is theirs alone and can be for any reason- the color, your story, the year. The choice is the car that speaks to them on a personal level rather than traditional judging, as there is no point scoring. 

Judging will start on Friday at 10AM and runs through Saturday at 1PM. All Corvettes at Carlisle registered Fun Field participants are eligible to be selected as a celebrity choice winner. 
If your car is chosen as a winner, the Celebrity will place a sticker on your windshield and you will be eligible to participate in the Awards Parade in front of the stage. During the parade, your name will be announced as you pull up to the stage to receive the award from the Miller family. The parade is a great photo-op for family and friends. A photographer will be taking pictures of each car as it drives through the parade. Don’t miss this opportunity to show the world your Celebrity Choice!

If you cannot attend the parade, your award can be picked up throughout the weekend at Guest Services (see event guide for times). After the show you may pick up your award during regular business hours at the fairgrounds or we will ship awards for $20.

Ready, Set, Go! Corvette owners, you now have a chance to showcase just what your ride sounds like in a standalone environment. Forget about revving your engine just to turn heads, now you’re on the go and all eyes are on you Thursday, Friday and Saturday as part of Corvettes at Carlisle! Don't miss the competition as Corvettes will start in a line on the east side of the grounds near the pavilion/Gate 6 and roar as they accelerate up the hill to the north side of the grounds. This will also be judged but take note, the best overall sound will take home the prize, not necessarily the loudest.

The contest consists of three rounds, with each round hosting a maximum of 10 Corvettes. Entrants are accepted for sign-up on a first come first served basis and we do expect each round to be filled so please sign up early. From the three rounds we will select a number of cars to move on to the finale on Saturday. The list of who qualified for the finale will be posted on Saturday at Guest Services near the Grandstand. You must participate in a qualifying round to have a chance to participate in the finale!

The Exhaust Competition is FREE but you MUST be a registered Fun Field participant to be eligible to compete! Again, sign up in Guest Services starting Thursday at 7 AM.  You may only signup for one qualifying round!

The only thing better than a show-ready Corvette is a show-ready Corvette on the race track! Lingenfelter Performance wants you to be our new King of the X!  Showcase your Corvette and see what it can really do by taking it to the track!

Returning this year, if you simply want to put your car on the track for some laps and fun, that is FREE.  The onsite Carlisle Autocross allows drivers to run the road course, compare their times to each other, participate in some friendly competition, or simply try your Corvette on a track for the first time! Novice or skilled, there’s nothing to lose!  If you’ve always wondered how your Corvette may perform or how advanced you are at handling a track, this is the perfect opportunity for you!  Open track times begin Thursday at 1 PM and registration is required. 

How about the chance to be titled the KING OF THE X? Win some CASH?  Lingenfelter Performance has you covered!   While the track laps are free for fun, if you're looking to COMPETE for the CASH as part of KING OF THE X, that's $20.  For your fee, you may submit your times for a chance to have not only bragging rights and some extra cash in your pocket but the title of Lingenfelter Performance KING OF THE X!  

There are TWO competition categories; Performance and Street.  Qualifying sessions run Thursday 1 PM - 4 PM, Friday 8 AM - 3 PM and Saturday 8 AM - 11 AM  The Shootout begins at Noon!  

Each driver may take up to four runs of two laps each. All runs will be timed and recorded and the fastest five runs in each class from the qualifying runs will participate in the Noon Saturday Shootout. ($20 entry fee must be paid at registration to be eligible for the King of the X showdown) In each class, there's first, second and third place; paying $300, $200 and $100 respectively.  Corvettes at Carlisle and Lingenfelter Performance offer you the chance to win a portion of $1,000. Hosted by the Cumberland Valley Corvette Club (CVCC), this is your chance to go fast and win as part of this very unique AutoX Shootout!

Participants must have a registered (and street legal) car on the Corvettes at Carlisle Fun Field, be 18 years of age or older and have a valid license and insurance. Participants are REQUIRED to bring their own helmets for safety. You will be unable to participate if you don't have one. 

Helmets are REQUIRED. Helmets must be SNELL Foundation certified, either “SA” (Special Application),“SAH” (Special Application Helmets Configured for use with frontal head restraints), “M” (motorcycle), or “EA” (Elite Automotive Sports). A SNELL foundation rating of “K” (karting) is NOT allowed. A DOT approval is not sufficient without the SNELL certification. A helmet from the second previous testing cycle is also allowed if it is SNELL certified and has a manufacture date less than ten (10) years old. e.g., in the year 2014, SNELL ratings of SA2005 or M2005 and SA2010 or M2010 will be legal. In addition, a SA2000 or M2000 helmet would be legal until they exceed 10 years of age.

The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is a large footprint that can be a challenge at times, even for the most experienced attendee. 82 acres, 16+ miles of paved roadway, vendors and cars everywhere…it’s easy to understand how you may start wondering to yourself “where did I see that part or car I want to buy?” “How do I get my purchase from its space to my truck?” “How am I going to do this?” 

Never fear, because we’ve compiled a helpful list of ways that enhance your on-site experience at Carlisle! Thanks for joining us and enjoy your time at the show!

1. BRING CASH - The more the better. It’s hard to negotiate a deal without being able to pay.
2. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - It’s a lot of walking.
3. SUN BLOCK/DRINK LIQUIDS - You’ll be in the sun all day. It’s important to protect yourself and stay hydrated, especially if your weekend outdoors is your first prolonged exposure to the sun for the year.
4. REMEMBER THE SPACE - Take a picture of the space location or write it down. Every space at Carlisle has a disk to designate the space. Look down and you’ll see the space marker. Write down the letter and number. Don’t try to remember the space or the surrounding area. You’ll spend the rest of the day looking for it.
5. COME EARLY - Rare parts and great deals typically happen for the first person to find them. Set up day(s) and the first day of the event are for the serious shoppers.
6. ACT FAST - If you see a great deal, grab it. If you plan to come back later, it will probably be gone.
7. NEGOTIATE - It’s a flea market so don’t be afraid to make a REASONABLE offer.
8. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - Chances are good that you will find something you weren’t planning to find, so keep your eyes open.
9. LOOK EVERYWHERE - Even if you are looking for parts for your brand of vehicle, don’t walk past the vendor selling parts for other models or generations just because you assume there’s no way the vendor has what you want. Give their space a look too. They might not only have it, it may be cheap since it’s not what they typically sell.
10. USE THE CARLISLE EVENTS APP - Use the FREE Carlisle Events app to easily find your way back to a vendor (if you know the row and space). You can also use it to check activity schedules, register for other events, connect with fellow enthusiasts via social media, browse a digital copy of the event guide and more.
11. STAY LATE – There are always deals at Carlisle, but sometimes the best ones happen early on day 1 of a show, or late on its final day. Vendors are typically more willing to negotiate when they are packing up – especially large items.
12. BRING A SHOPPING LIST - Our memories aren’t as good as we think. Write it down. You can even make a list on your phone. Take pictures of what you need.
13. BRING A BAG, CART, ETC. - Parts will get heavy so have a way to carry your purchases. Ask the seller if you can leave heavy parts until later.
14. HAVE IT HAULED - Carlisle Events offers FREE* parts hauling. Keep that in mind if you’re looking at an engine, transmission, truck bed, etc.
15. FREE TAXI SERVICE – Need to get from point A to point B but don’t feel like walking it? Carlisle Events offers a FREE* taxi service. Dial 717-960-6429 to secure a ride. 
16. ASK! - If someone has parts for a vehicle but not the ones you need, ask if the seller has it. It might still be in his truck or at home. Even if he doesn’t, he might know someone who does.
17. KNOW THE VALUE - Do some homework on the parts you’re looking for so you know if the price is a good deal.
18. AVOID THE CROWDS - When you arrive, go to an out-of-the-way area to start rather than following the herd.
19. WALK IT ALL - Don’t miss any rows. The Carlisle Fairgrounds isn’t a perfect grid so make sure you hit every row and space.
20. ADVERTISE - Wear a hat, shirt or signboard that spotlights what you’re looking for.  It just might create a conversation, especially if what you’re searching for is obscure and/or rare. 

*While parts hauling and taxi service are free, donations are graciously accepted.  Donated money goes directly to the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation. 

 

Help those in need at most events this season.  Give generously to members of local Lions Clubs as they staff our gates (varies by event) and accept donations for their Lions International Disaster Relief program.  Look for Lions in a yellow vest with a black donation tin in hand.  Last year, with your support, $10,000 was raised and donated to the Carlisle branch of the Salvation Army to support humanitarian relief efforts in war-torn Ukraine.  This year, your support benefits those in need, foreign and domestic; all by way of the Lions International Disaster Relief Program.  Can’t donate in person?  Learn more about the Lions program online by way of the links below.
