Currently Mike and I still intend to show up at Carlisle. IF we bring my Fiero, it will not yet be under it's own power, it'll be on a trailer, but at least folks can check out Mike's work first hand and ask a bunch of questions.
I don't want to pre-register and back out at the last minute, potentially robbing someone of a room/spot, so if we do show up, we'll own the "penalty" of likely having to get a hotel room in the next city over.

If you decide to pre-register there will be plenty of room and you will not be bumping anyone out of place. If you decide the register the day of the show at the gate, Carlisle events should not turn you away. The Carlisle Fairgrounds is huge, 82 acres large to be exact and some estimates have it at over 100 acres. The GM Nationals show field capacity is over 5,000 cars and it looks like it may be close to full house this year. Carlisle events provides an exclusive area for MAFOA that can hold a large amount of Fieros with a big tent in the center. I doubt if you will see any car show as large in the Eastern USA. I am still holding to my unofficial estimate of 150 Fieros being there but it would not surprise me if the number jumps higher
As for accommodations; I would strongly advise getting your reservations in now. At showtime most hotels sell out. Almost all hotels offer free cancellations and obtaining lodging late in the game can sometimes be rather difficult. If Carlisle is completely sold out, try the towns of Mechanicsburg 11 miles to the South on RT 11) or in the worse case Harrisburg (20 miles to the east). My 6' tall wife will only stay in a large suite so we are lodging in Mechanicsburg. Hope to see you there....beautiful cars, excellent area, and really great folks from all over.

I took the advice and went to book.
The two closest locations that FieroChic posted about are fully booked up. I was able to get a room at the Holiday in about 5 miles away at 1152 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle. They (now) only have 4 rooms left.

For Canadians, the border is still closed for non essential travel. I have only been to Carlisle once and that was 15 years ago. Do they still have camping on the grounds? ------------------
