Are most of these cars being driven or trailered to Carlisle? Would like to go in a droptop, but it may not be ready. Don't want to trailer my cuda, could give the wrong impression as a trailer queen.

I think most cars are driven there, & I plan on driving mine if I finish fixing it by then. I have a trailer, but I use that for dragging parts cars & projects around. I may use it to go racing this year, I'd hate to drive to the track & break something 2 to 3 hours from home.

I wanna drive mine but I worry with my 4:10 gears.  I still think I am driving it though.  Such a pain to rent a trailer and all.  Plus, it is more fun to drive.

I've not attempted one but have you considered a gear swap? Say to 3.23 or 3.55?

We're trailering ours DY3.  We're 11 hours away, so didn't want to chance it.  Like 4C, we'll drive it all over when we get there.

I wish I could make it there but that is 1,153.5 miles that I just can't do!  You all will have to take lots of pictures so I can see what happens there.

When you get there, do you park in a certain section? Do you have to register as a show car to get away from the general parking lot? Is the trailer parking seperate from the general parking area?

DY3, we're planning on leaving the trailer at the hotel we're staying at and driving the chally to the fairgrounds.  Once there, we park by the C-C.com tent...we can keep and eye on them all day and stay out of the sun!  Here's a pic from last year...  The C-C.com tent is the yellow one with the Mopar sign on it.  The two cars to the right of it are WSM's and 4C's.  We should have a lot more cars there this year!

I'll trailer to the hotel, then drive to the show each day. I'm only 2 hrs away, but i get squirrley leaving my 71 outside in plain view in a parking lot of a hotel overnite, so i'll park it in the enclosed trailer each nite.
