Classic Car Extravaganza at the Corvettes at Carlisle
Posted by Steve White on Aug 21, 2009
The Corvettes at Carlisle is the biggest Corvette extravaganza in the world, and it draws tens of thousands of Corvette owners and enthusiasts from across the US every year. The event is held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania from the 28th to 30th of August.
The main highlight of the Corvettes at Carlisle is the Corvette Race Reunion, which features a wide selection of Corvette race cars from every generation since the 1950s. Special guest of the race reunion is racing legend Mario Andretti, one of the greatest drivers in the history of motorsports. Four generations of Corvettes will be showcased in a special 20th anniversary celebration of the 1988 to 1989 Corvette Challenge Car Series. Another interesting event is the Chip’s Choice Invitational Display, which will feature Corvettes that have participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of which is the No. 63 Compuware Corvette C6.R, the winner of the GT Class this year. This event will bring together one of the largest gathering of Le Mans Corvettes ever.
The Corvettes at Carlisle All-Corvette Auction is another exciting event that should not be missed. Those who attend the auction will get to see some of the rarest and most sought after Corvettes in the automobile market. Free seminars will also be held throughout the weekend to give visitors a chance to hear interesting stories from Corvette team owners, drivers, and collectors. There will also be a Corvette cruise in downtown Carlisle.
Admission fee for the Corvettes at Carlisle is $14 for adults and free for children under 12. A 4-day pass is also available at $40 per person.
