Mopar Nats or Carlisle?????
This is kind of a poll. I'm wondering which show is better Mopar Nats or Carlisle? I've been to Nats but never to Carlisle. The Carlisle show is farther for me to get to but you never know--maybe I'll skip the Nats and go to Carlisle.
Is there much of a diff? Preference? One better than the other? any opinions or comments?
Thanks

Where to start....
Carlisle's admission price is HALF that of the Nats. The facilities are 1000% better (clean bathrooms with attendants, an outdoor food court, a whole lot less dusty, a couple air conditioned buildings), there are more high caliber cars there, the swap meet is a whole lot bigger, the show field is much better organized, and you don't have to dodge race cars. Yes, if you like watching racing, you won't be able to in the show. I don't miss that a bit.

All this talk makes me feel like i'm at the nationals right now! LOL the three points that stand out to me are.
1. Clean bathrooms!....the bathrooms at the nationals have attendants, its the guy who was in the porta-john before you, holding his breath as he walks out!
2. Man, it is dusty! Between the dust and the race cars, if its hot that day, your ready to have a heat stroke.
3. All this for twice the price!
OK, who else will be there this year? LOL
