They do. We'd love to have you back again. We currently have 4 Canadian owners registered for this year and their registrations will get extended a year BUT we are hoping for a miracle. After all, I agree with Steve - Carlisle is essential travel!

Camping

Pre-registration for camping and trailer parking is offered to only pre-registered participants of the Showfield or automotive flea market. All others may register at the event should space still be available. For camping registration and pricing, please call us at 717-243-7855.
There is also off grounds camping space available on lots nearby.
As for Canadians attending Carlisle, it is hoped that the border will reopen next month. For as long as I recall we have had Canadians attend the Carlisle shows. As a matter of fact a fellow from up your way won the best of show trophy a few years back. Sure hope that you don't get shut out.

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.


No worries for the late comers. The town of Mechanicsburg about 11 miles South on Rt 11 has numerous hotels, restaurants and shopping. There are also two more hotels right off the Pennsylvania Turnpike in the Camp Hill/New Cumberland Area but those are about a 25 min drive to Carlisle. Harrisburg also has several.

There are a few people coming up from Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky so maybe you guys can travel together!



That's great. The message from MAFOA has always been Everyone is Welcome. If anyone needs route assistance that project is in the works. If we can help in any way just send a PM or email.

Hmmm... Boise to Carlisle on my Google maps is 2325 miles & 34 hours.

Looks like that's the total to visit all the places shown on the maps...

You've got it :-)

The way it is shaping up this will probably the largest gathering of Fieros East of the Mississippi ever. Jen should post the pre-registration number shortly but based upon what I have heard the climb to 150 or more seems very likely.
Pre-registration ends on Monday May 24th but if you miss that deadline date you can always register the day of the show Sat June 26th at the front gate. If you register the day of the show please mention MAFOA. Carlisle 2021 is going to be an absolutely incredible show. There should also be over 4000 other GM cars there exhibiting, celebrity guests, tables/booths for dealers that sell parts, books, tools, and accessories. There is even a woman's oasis tent that sells products for the ladies who aren't classic car lovers. The long food court under the grandstand serves a wide variety of good food at very fair prices. There is also an authentic Southern style BBQ stand not far from the food court that is our favorite.
If you are going, be sure to book your lodging reservations now. Hotel rooms in the area fill up at show times and can be hard to find.

Hi All,

A few updates as we just hit 133 pre-registered cars! TODAY by 3 PM is the last day to pre-register. It is also the last day to order the Show T-Shirt. T-Shirts are $15 pickup at show or $25 mailed after the show for those who cannot attend.

Pre-registration saves money and gets you a fast Gate 'N Go Entry (no waiting for pass pickup when you arrive), a guaranteed special FAC27 goody bag/cooler, pre-event info blasts and more. Head to www.mafoa.com today!

Some other items to know:

1) Gate N' Go passes from Carlisle will likely be mailed in the middle of this week. If you don't receive yours by June 5th, let me know. Additionally, if you need to change your class and we haven't already spoken, let me know ASAP.

2) Closer to the event, you will receive a detailed schedule. We do have one addition at present, a 7:30/7:45 screening of Fast 9 at the Carlisle R/C Theaters on Thursday night. We will also have the chance to put a few Fieros on display there so if you are interested let me know. This event will follow the cook-out at Tom Derr's; however, set-up of the cars will likely need to occur that afternoon. I am especially looking for a Medium Red Metallic Coupe/Formula as that is the Fiero featured in the film.

3) If you still need hotel reservations, please contact me. Our host hotel is likely still full but as of earlier this week, I do have some alternates available.

4) If you or anyone else you know would like to donate items to our raffle/auction that raises funds to help put on this event, please let me know as well!

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! We look forward to seeing you all soon!
