What is the deal with all the complaining?! C'mon people. Especially from those who are in PA? WOW. Pack a freakin' cooler if you're that cheap. This is the BEST Mopar show - PERIOD. Again, WOW.

Edit: I can't remember which gate, but it's outside the car corral - an outside the gate vendor (probably lives there) sells $1.50 hot dogs and $2.00 hamburgers and $1 can of soda. Is that too much?

Absolutely not.

I remember going to my first show back in '96. There was no competition for food, just one vendor. $7 bottle of water back then. Fake burgers and a small handful of fries was outrageous.

The only issue I have with Carlisle is the lack of seating or sitting area. Last show I went to was back in '09. Pop went with us. Hot day. He was just out of the hospital for a few months after having three back to back small strokes. We walked a bit and then went to the grandstands to sit until he was feeling better. Went to walk around again, tried to keep him in the shade with the survivor tents and the buildings. Thankfully, some who had a car on display offered him a chair and a bottle of water.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it was our decision to go and we should have planned for it. By the time we through, though, Pop had had enough. He was wasted. Some shade and some sporadic seating would be helpful.
