Hey, Jennifer, how many do you have registered? Still working on the Georgia gang. I think at least 2 of us are coming. |

We are up to 86!! 87 & 88 get special prizes and if we hit 90 by March 31, everyone pre-registered is eligible to win a free Fieros at Carlisle 27 t-shirt that we will give away. Our most recent giveaway winners were Van Heath (#86) and Jason G. who won the free t-shirt at 85 registrants.
If anyone reading this wants to join the fun - head to www.mafoa.com to register today!

So those that waited until later to register (85, 86, 87 & 88) get prizes. those that registered early and got things going are left out? I am not looking for anything, as I was somewhere in the middle  Just saying....
This is going to be a great show from the looks of it so far. There is no Daytona show this year, as nobody planned anything, so hopefully that will increase the turnout at Carlisle. I know a group from Michigan always came down for Daytona, maybe they will divert to PA this year

In the past, those of us who registered early usually were rewarded with a shirt. (1st 20 if I remember correctly). Don't know if that's the case this year. It's the dues payed for membership to MAFOA that generate the funds for the 'freebees' along with vendor donations. Not all who come to Carlisle and take part in the get together are members of MAFOA but all are eligible for the prizes, drawing etc..,
We can usually count on a free 'Carlisle Car wash'. Some times it's just a light shower, sometimes an all day drizzle and on occasion a tropical storm!
Its always a good time with good people.

We are doing prizes at various points the journey. First 30 got shirts, First 75 got guarantees gift bags - now we are doing some incentivizing at later points. Additionally anyone registered before certain points was entered to win additional items. So lots of winners ;-)

If I may let the cat out of the bag a bit Carlisle pre-registration is now just a few short of 100 Fieros. Short of the anniversary shows this event will be one of the largest Pontiac Fiero shows in the world. if you are looking for some real excitement in this shut in Covid time; come on down, the show will be open as usual. ------------------

We hit 98! Below is our more recent email update:
Hi All,
We are so excited as plans continue to shape up for the 27th Annual Fieros at Carlisle. Thank you so much for registering in advance as this has already helped us navigate some planning for an event with numbers that we have not seen in 20 years!
First, a reminder that if you have not already done so - reserve your room at the Fairfield Inn & Suites ASAP - rooms are very limited at this point. The number is 717-243-2080. If a backup hotel is needed, there is a Holiday Inn next door but we are unsure of their availability at this time. Their number is 717-241-0052.
Next, due to large numbers we had to make some adjustments to our scheduled events on Thursday/Friday - namely, switching dinner plans. Thursday night will now be a Wing Welcome Night & Parts Swap at Tom Derr's and Friday night will be a MAFOA Pizza Party at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. We will follow up with information on payment/food closer to the event but wanted to let everyone know of this change. If you would like to see Tom's parts collection but are unable to make it on Friday night, you can contact Tom about bringing parts Friday or Saturday or making a trip out to his place which is nearby as time permits.
We are aiming to have Friday's cruise take us to the Lindt Chocolate Factory south of Carlisle and on some beautiful back roads, as well as an additional stop for lunch and ice cream. More details for this activity will shape up in May as current PA Covid restrictions are making planning that portion difficult.
Saturday is the official show day although events will take place at the Fairgrounds for GM Nationals on Friday as well. Saturday will bring us the 7 main classes from Carlisle productions, nearly 20 special awards from MAFOA, a tech session by Pickardt Performance and more!
We also plan to develop a "help along your route" list for those of you traveling to the show to provide additional support. Stay tuned in May/June for info on that initiative.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Best,
~ Jen

I was in contact with Jen this week and it seems MAFOA has far exceeded the expected pre-registration number by quite a bit. I'll let Jen post the new numbers but if we go by prior years, the gate registrations (same day) have represented up to an additional 50% of the pre-registrants. IMO, this could be the largest number of Fieros attending the Carlisle event ever. Come on down and take the nice drive to Carlisle. This is really where its at. ------------------

Hi All,
This morning, we hit 111 pre-registrants for Fieros at Carlisle 27. This number has exceeded our wildest dreams and we are so excited to host so many amazing Fiero enthusiasts this June. If you'd like to join us, head to www.mafoa.com to register. Pre-registrations will be taken through May 20.
As a pre-registrant you will receive your "Gate N' Go" pass from Carlisle about 1 week after May 24. If you do not receive it by June 5 please let us know unless we offer another update before then.
Next, a reminder that if you have not already done so and plan to come - reserve your room at the Fairfield Inn & Suites ASAP - rooms are very limited at this point. The number is 717-243-2080. If a backup hotel is needed, there is a Holiday Inn next door but we are unsure of their availability at this time. Their number is 717-241-0052. If you have trouble with reservations at either, please let me know and I can offer some additional suggestions.
Our current plans, including a special new addition in planning is below:
Thursday: Hotel Check-Ins, Subs & Swaps at Tom Derr's in Mechanicsburg PA (bring any spare parts you wish to sell/swap) and (in planning) screening of Fast & Furious 9.
Costs: Dinner is by donation (recommended at least $7 per person), Movie Theater Ticket & Snacks (TBA)
Friday: Fairgrounds time at GM Nationals, Midday cruise to Lindt Chocolate Factory with lunch/ice cream, Pizza Party at the Fairgrounds, Cruise Night and/or High Speed Go-Karting
Costs: Food for the day, $5 per person for the pizza party
Saturday: Fieros at Carlisle 27 Show Day, Dinner at Hickory Ridge, Awards at the Fairgrounds and Sports Emporium Go-Karting
Costs: Food and Sports Emporium Spending (if desired)
Sunday: Farewell Breakfast (Location TBA)
Costs: Food
More details to be firmed up as we get closer due to evolving PA Covid-19 Protocols.
A reminder that, Saturday is the official show day although events will take place at the Fairgrounds for GM Nationals on Friday as well. Saturday will bring us the 7 main classes from Carlisle productions, nearly 20 special awards from MAFOA, a tech session by Pickardt Performance, a roving tech session by Fiero Jon and more!
We also plan to develop a "help along your route" list for those of you traveling to the show to provide additional support. Stay tuned in May/June for info on that initiative.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Best,
~ Jen

The pre-registration numbers for Saturdays show have come in at an astounding rate and are still coming in. I trust that Jennifer will be posting the new pre-reg numbers shortly but it looks like we should see a row of Fieros with 36" between them, door to door, 1/4 mile long. At Carlisle they use a double row and that will be 1/8 mile in length. I predict this show will be the largest MAFOA event in the clubs history. The event goes Thurs, Fri, the big show on Saturday and will end on Sunday. Come on down, its a fun event with nice folks from all over and some really great cars. You need not have a show car Fiero to participate. All Fieros and everyone is welcome. ------------------
