Carlisle All GM Nationals/ Camaro Nationals

[mudjnky]

I just got a flyer from Carlisle that said Linda Vaughn and Jungle Pam will be at the show.

I cannot explain why, but of all the national events held at Carlisle {Ford, Chrysler,etc} GM is by far the worst. The turnout for the GM marks beside Camaro is pathetic. I am disapointed more and more every year..BKH

Brian, Apparently you are correct. I've heard year after year that the ACES Chevelle regional event is always the same weekend or therabouts. Nobody can mediate or negotiate a plan where as the high quality Chevelles can support G.M. Carlisle. I'm not in the know as to why the Novas, Buicks, pontiacs etc etc dont support the G.M. Carlisle event.
Thanks to the American Camaro Assoc there is a good turnout of Camaros. This is also the only show in the country that runs a top notch restoration judging, aka LEGENDS. I'd also be remiss if I didnt mention Steve Shaugers bunch judging Survivor "VINTAGE" Camaros.
Anyway we can only hope that G.M. Carlisle gets better, bigger, but with $4.00 per gal gas looming, we'll be lucky to maintain the mediocre turnout we already have......

With the Chevelle show established in Maryland, not much in the Chevelle world shows up that's for sure. Once years ago, other marks had "mini-nats" during GM. The Novas did it and had a good turnout, BUT you would be lucky to see ten Novas today. The Ford guys make the GM guys look bad. There will be more Merkurs than Buick, Olds and Pontiac combined. The Camaro show field is the ONLY thing keeping that show afloat. Its a dirty fithy dust bowl with freaky summer storms that blow in. It is not on my must do list...BKH

I went last year for the first time, was not impressed.
And for sure the Camaro's are the only strong point of that show.

The Nova Club held a mini-nats there the first or second year, actually took home the 'Club Participation' award! However, the Nova club prefers a smaller, more intimate venue on the grounds of a hotel - as it fosters the 'family' atmosphere that has proved successful for the last 27 years! (How many single marque car clubs can boast about that type of longevity?!) It's also a busy time of year, there are a lot of shows trying to snag your car.

I like going to the Camaro Nationals - with a few other GM brands tagging along!

the Chevelle show changed it date this year its not on the same date as the GM show, that is what I was told by the guys that run the club.
