Hi Tom, On the differences between Carlisle and the Mopar Nats, from what I have seen it is just that Carlisle is geared more toward the casual enthusiast that wants to show his/her car in a pleasant surrounding. Carlisle offers a place to park for 3 days on the fun field for one entrance fee and that show is a popular vote type of show. The Mopar Nats charges admittance per person, does not have a popular vote show (only a judged show), and parking on the grounds is not included.
The Mopar Nats also has a 3 day drag racing program, which Carlisle does not. Carlisle usually has a tandem event of night time drag racing at Stone Mountain Dragway which is a 1/8 mile track. The only way to get your car onto the grounds at the Mopar Nats, is to enter the judged show, enter the drag racing, buy a swap meet space, or be a vendor. All of those cost more than the basic admittance fee. So to a point a person will get more bang for their admittance fee buck at Carlisle than at the Mopar Nats. That and the Carlisle fairgrounds is just SOOOO nice. It is a well organized show and is really a nice way to spend 3 days. Of the two, Carlisle doesn't get as many total attendees as the Nats, but the car show is huge, usually about 2000 Mopars on the show field. I think the swap meet at Carlisle is probably bigger also.
