Guests will get the best of the automotive world at the Carlisle Import and Performance Nationals reving its engines Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13, in Carlisle, Pa. The showfield gets parked by country of origin for the 82-acre around-the-world adventure. From seminars to parts shopping and more, Import and Performance weekend isnt just about classic cars, its about classy cars and the people who love them. Imagine it now if you can, a showfield that includes automotive excellence from at least eight different countries. Cars and trucks representing Korea, Japan, the United States, Germany, the U.K., France, Sweden, and Italy all make up this event. Best of all, these cars arent just trailered in and parked; many of them not only drive to the show, but they show the 20,000-plus guests in attendance what their whip can actually do via on-site competitions. These activities include autocross, rolling burnouts and donuts, drifting, drift limbo, low car limbo, and a rolling exhaust competition. Cars featuring fresh styles of today and yesterday perfectly complement the special features planned for the two-day show. Those features include a spotlight on Audis of all eras, a dedicated Rolls Royce display, 50 Years of the Honda Civic, race-prepared vehicles, French vehicles in Building R, and, of course, a general showfield that offers the rare, unique, and exotic too. Awards are also available in many different categories. While there is a non-judged showfield option, others may pick the judged showfield. For this, judging is done drive-through style and managed by professional judges from eJudged.com. In addition, there are club awards for the largest and coolest club, plus Carlisle Elite, whose winners are selected by Carlisle Events staff based on what is deemed cool. The selection process takes place on day one, encouraging showgoers to make it a true two-day experience. In addition to the international vehicles on display, the food court offers a nice mix of food, including select stands offering dishes representative of the automotive world. In all, the Carlisle Import and Performance Nationals is the kind of car show that is just as educational as it is entertaining.
