Just remember it is usually hot as hell and humid so dress right. Also plan on at least two days to see it all. Swap area takes some time.
 
Fyi: Vending spots were sold out last year. I havent seen that in several years. The previous year was sad and I was getting worried
 
Chrysler's @ Carlisle has become THE # 1 MOPAR
Event in the Universe.
2800 + cars in the show, sold out huge swap meet,
giant car corral , and cars for sale all throughout the swap meet area, burn out contest, Daisy dukes contest, seminars, guest appearances, famous autographed signings, and a whoooooooole lot more.
A must be there event -- even without your car -- come new and modern, that is okay......

Sadly, the Mopar Nationals in Columbus / Hebron, Ohio has shrunk, shrunk, and shrunk some more,
Where it is a sad little over priced show...
I was there 21 years in a row, and watched it slide from the best Mopar event -- to a little postage stamp of a show....

If you want to go to both --- GO !!!!!!
But, if you are only going to do one ---- GO to Carlisle....
 
I agree the Nats shrunk bad Nats is a dirty over priced deal but the Drag racing pulls some in.
Carlisle, been twice, so far away, but in comparison as to the quality of the event and facilities Carlisle is the standout winner.
 
looking at the website, the page for the event has it listed as July 10-12.

BUT if you go in to order tickets, it's listed as June 17-20

Confusing, but I assume they moved the dates out slightly and haven't changed to ticket page dates yet.
 
Planning to go, website suggests it is still on, and there are a couple of June events there before Chryslers. If those go as scheduled, then good bet Chryslers is safe! Reconfirmed hotel reservation yesterday, and the one I stay at is still sold out.

Will be bringing the GTS - this will be year #4 for me, agree, it is a great show and yes, The Nats has been going downhill for years. But, will still go, since it is only 150 miles for me to Columbus - too close to miss.

We are still a go. A great show and look forward to it. A lot of friends we only see once a year and be hard to miss.

Spring Carlisdle Swap Meet was moved to the end of June as noted above. Mopars at Carlisle is towards the end of July. My friend, Ed B. is the Exec. Mgr. for the all Mopar show. He updates the website frequestly if any changes occur. They are all working very hard for us to make the show happen and safe for everyone.
 
Next year I think I’ll plan on Carlisle show...I’ve always wanted to go...we are planning a road trip this year and want to hit up the Nats for a day or 2 on our trip...I would change it but the wife can’t change her vacation time anymore...I’ve always head the Carlisle show has the best swap meet with things you don’t see very often! Last time I was at the Nats was 2002 I believe and it was fun....but heard it’s getting worse and even some big vendors are avoiding it, hope that changes cause MoPar shows are fun

Last year there were 9000 vendors in the swap area. We walked for two days, and I'm not sure if we saw it all.
Take a pencil and paper so you can write down the vendor spot number.
A few hours later when you want to go look at that something you liked, its tough to remember where you saw it. :D I know!!

I talked with Ed B. this week. Vendor attendance should be strong again. Stop over on Saturday at our Fish Tales 67-69 Barracuda Club tent and say hello.
