Held in Conjunction with
Registration, Classification, and Judging by:
Where is the Show?
Carlisle PA is situated in south central Pennsylvania, at the intersection of I-81
and I-76. The Fairgrounds are known worldwide, for hosting huge car shows
and swap meets, such as Corvettes @ Carlisle. The grounds are fenced, gated,
and guarded24 hours a day, and specifically designed to hold car shows. Each
space is 10ft x 30ft, grass covered, and is adjacent to a network of paved roads.
What else is going on?
The Show Grounds are non-stop all weekend! There is a Ladies Oasis, a
Kids Corner, a huge Car Corral, seemingly endless vendors, a timed road
course, a Burn-Out Contest, a Bathing Suit Beauty Contest, a Classic Car
Give-Away, a Charity Auction, 50/50 drawings, Silent Auctions, Seminars,
Autograph sessions, GM Special Display Cars in addition to special
Invitational Display cars, and......Bumblebee...the star of the Transformers
Movie. Even without all this, the comroderie of over 1000 Camaro owners
(yes, spouses count) just cannot be matched anywhere. Add to all this, a
great display of Firebirds, and you will be in F-Body Heaven!!
Where should we stay?
With over 750 fbodies, plus all the other GM show cars, vendors, and car coral
owners.....housing can get pretty tough to find - unless you book early, or are
willing to drive over 30 minutes. To help out, the A.C.A. has reserved a block
of 100 rooms at the Hotel Carlisle. Located about 6 miles from the
fairgrounds, at 1700 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle PA. 800-692-7315. This hotel
has a huge parking area (room for your trailer) and is a great hang out location.
You must specify American Camaro Association when you make your
reservations, to get into this block of rooms. For a list of other motels, go to
our website www.americancamaro.org and click on ‘Camaro Nationals’.
What about Camping?
There are campgrounds nearby, but many attendees - including the “Nasty
Z/28.com” club, camp on grounds in the overnight parking/camping area. It
is semi-primitive but the guys do have a real blast!
Log onto
www.carsatcarlisle.com. Click on ‘GM Nationals’, then ‘Register’, then
‘Parking’, and complete the appropriate forms.
What if I trailer my Camaro?
Classes 27 ,40, 41, & 45 include trailer parking on grounds in the invitational
parking area. Trailer Parking for other classes, (and camping), can be
arranged at a nominal fee, with the Carlisle Fairgrounds. Log onto
www.carsatcarlisle.com. Click on ‘GM Nationals’, then ‘Register’, then
‘Parking’, and complete the appropriate forms.

Classes
Non-Judged - Class 30 - If you are just not into detailing your Camaro, this class allows
you to participate in all the fun and comradery of the Nationals at a price that can’t be
beat. This class is also great for Camaros that are under conctruction.
Not Yet Ready for Prime Time - Class 50 - If you can’t bring your Camaro because it
won’t be out of the shop in time...you can still participate in the fun. True, you’ll have to
park your non Camaro in the cheap seats with the trailers, but you will receive your
goodie bags, and will be eligible for all door prizes, etc.
Drivers Class - Class 29 - This class is open to any and all Camaros, in any condition.
TOURING 24 - Includes First and Second Generation Camaros that have been fitted with
late model drive trains, oversize brakes, large diameter wheels, lowered chassis, ultra
plush interiors, and late model air conditioning. Typical of cars built for the ‘Hot Rod Power
Tour’. Spare tire required for full credit, as these cars are meant for touring.

pro-street or competition); hydraulic suspensions, modified bodies; including suicide doors,
reversed hinge hoods, chopped roofs, etc. Also includes custom paint schemes (other than
