Pennsylvania is a beautiful place, and the perfect place for a show like Carlisle. As a Harrisburg resident for 3 years now, I've gone the past three years - the last two years with my own 'Cuda to display.
I love Carlisle because - for people like me who have a "non-show" car, I still feel like I fit right in. Two years ago was the first time I met other club members, and had more fun than I could ever remember. It's a weekend of CONSTANT laughing, car-talk, muscle-car galore.
And me personally, I'll agree that it's more the comradery than the car-show. I love cars, sure, but cars are everywhere. This is a few days of hanging out with the greatest people I've ever met - instant best-friends. You can't beat that anywhere at any price.
As long as Cuda-Challenger.com reigns surpreme, you can always expect to find me at Carlisle!
