From what I have heard Carlisle is dying. If you are a Camaro guy you want to go to the Nationals. Alot of the venders are also slowly leaving Carlisle to go to the Camaro Nationals. If I wanted to go to a Chevy show I would go to Super Chevy Sunday in July I believe. I have been to the last 2 Nationals. Last year there were nearly 500 Camaros there. The Cruise in to Frederick was also alot of fun. I have also heard alot of people who were going to Carlisle in the past are now going to the Nationals instead. Anyone who has attended Carlisle and then went to the Nationals have said the Nationals is soo much better and Carlisle is disappointing . I can tell you that the Nationals is getting better every year and is the Largest Camaro show on the East Coast. I guess it depends what you are trying to get out of the experience.
