Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals
May 17-19, 2013
Carlisle PA Fairgrounds

Since 1986, the Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals has displayed the best import and kit cars in the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. In recent years, a simple event has transformed into an automotive festival. Live music, prizes and more have given the weekend an overhaul and 2013 was another great showcase of international automotive history. The Passport Program returned as did a massive array of clubs. More seminars were held onsite too giving the tent an always full feel to it. Guests like Peter Brock held court with patrons hanging on each word the legend shared about his experiences within the hobby.

Additional highlights included awards on Sunday plus a Saturday showcase of two machines, 100 years apart, making parade laps around the autocross track. Though this event has concluded, the next one is just 11+ months away, May 16-18, 2014.

Carlisle Ford Nationals

The 2013 Carlisle Ford Nationals features the chance to win an X302 Crate Engine courtesy of Ford Racing, onsite installations, demo rides, ride alongs and best of all, the weekend is the first chance for onsite registration for a two-year lease on a 2013 Ford Raptor truck. The Raptor giveaway spans two additional shows, the Carlisle Truck Nationals and Carlisle Sports and Outdoor Nationals and will be awarded on Sunday, September 8.

Ford weekend has a showfield of nearly 3,000 FOMOCO machines that span the life of the brand. Special guests include Steve Saleen and Milo Coleman, plus there are seminars, displays like the High Performance 289 showroom and more. There's also a Saturday night downtown Carlisle parade and street party. More than 400 cars will cruise the streets and backed by live music, the fun lasts into the night. Don't miss this great gathering of Ford enthusiasts all in one place.
