This year's Fieros at Carlisle will take place June 23-26 in Carlisle, PA. Our loose plans (currently in the process of being firmed up) are:
Thursday: Dinner at the Derr's followed by an outing (hopefully a drive-in movie!) Friday: Day at the Fairgrounds/Local Cruise/ Pizza Party/Go-Karting Saturday: Show Day/Group Dinner/Cruise Sunday: Breakfast
All information, including the host hotel which is filling fast, can be found at: https://mafoa.com/fac2022/
Today is the last full day to register at the 20% off rate of $37 for show entry. Tomorrow, the rate goes up to $42.
I must say that the 2021 Fieros at Carlisle event was one of the largest ever. We prefer to register about 90 days out but we won't miss this show Its also time to renew MAFOA membership so that can also be done now. If you own a Fiero and are looking to meet some great Fiero people from all over the USA or just looking for some real excitement, Carlisle is the place. The club welcomes everyone and if you wish to also see other GM cars there are many on the 82 acres of the Carlisle fairground.

We are pretty excited about it, too! Last night I paid for my teeshirts and stuff through MAFOA, and just hung up with the hotel, making my reservations. So this year we'll be with the rest of the group and can hang out more at night!

Got our reservation in as the host hotel couldn't accommodate us with what we needed. Booked a suite at the LaQuinta Inn in Mechanicsburg. Its about 20 minutes south of the fairgrounds and the area has just about every restaurant , cafe and store available there. The police station is also right across the street from the hotel. While we have not registered for Carlisle as yet, I guess we go on the unofficial list for the time being. Can't miss this show. Its going to be BIG.

Thank you for bumping the thread. For whatever reason I could not get the PFF search engine or google to find this thread! Fieros at Carlisle 27? No problem! 28.... seemed to not exist. Thought I was in the Twilight Zone.
I've been prodding some Fiero folks that are members here but don't always check the other categories about it. Right now, I've got Drewpy, Chug, CowsPatoot and La Fiera all seriously considering it. I encouraged folks to make reservations now, since most hotels let you cancel up to 24 hours before check-in without penalties.
I've never been to Carlisle, I noticed you have parts swap on Thursday. Do you guys have that only on Thursday or do you do it all weekend. I would love to come to see if there is any parts I could use, but my work schedule is gonna be a nightmare this year. Starting off, I'll be working day shift Monday through Thursday near Newport Pa, then a 12hr nightshift Friday nights in Easton Pa. Guess my best time to show for a little would be Friday morning.

Awesome! And yes, I agree. There are still plenty of hotels available in the Carlisle area at various price points! I definitely recommend booking quick!

So the official Fiero-specific event is Friday night at a member's nearby home; however, the giant all GM swap meet (which includes Fiero parts) runs Friday-Saturday at the Fairgrounds. We'd love to have you for whatever time you can come - and if there is a special part you're looking for, you can always let us know and we can tell one of our attendees to bring it!
Gary Pickardt from Pickardt Performance has my Fiero and is doing my LS4 swap! If everything goes according to plan; (he's shooting for it to be done by Carlisle) If it all works out, I'll be there!!!
The turnout last year was epic! There was over 120 Fieros there if I recall correctly!

The subject may eventually come up as to gasoline prices so I thought that I'd provide my opinion. We reside 155 miles from Carlisle. That's a 310 mile round trip for us. My Fiero averages 27-29 hwy mpg so in the worse case I will use 11.5 gallons of gas. Add a bit of local driving and the gasoline usage will be 12 gallons. At $2/gallon of gas the trip would cost $24 At $4.25/gal of gas the trip will now cost $51. That boils down to $13.50 more each way or $6.75 more per passenger. While we might cut back our local driving a bit we will still attend Carlisle. It is still the largest and best Fiero show in the Eastern Mid Atlantic regions. Point is that a small extra cost to pay for having a great fun day shouldn't keep anyone away. Don't miss Fieros at Carlisle.

Registered today. There is just so much at Carlisle to see and do. You can find parts, books, manuals. paint, signs, accessories, tools, maintenance chemicals. The club expects over 100 Fieros to attend and hundreds of other GM cars are there to see on the large 88 acre Carlisle, PA fairgrounds. Last year I had the auto paint guy mix me a quart of panel touch up (perfect match) and came home with a bunch of good automotive tools. Events are happening all throughout the day of the show and the club has several days of its own activities planned. Don't miss it.

Brian Welch had our GT right now getting it ready to drive from Chicago. Clutch, valve seals, timing chain... Plus more...Don't know if the Formula of going to make it. Big home prodject going on, and Dells 2 Weeks before.. And gas.... Wallet is only do big.
Should have say least 3 other cars with us driving from Chicago.
Anyone coming from West of Lake Michigan can join our caravan leaving Thursday afternoon from south of Chicago and getting to Carlisle Friday about 12-1
Power Tour Long Haul 2009, 10 (muscle car) Power Tour Long Haul 2011, 12, 15, 17(Fiero) Power Tour 4 stops 2014 (Fiero) Power Tour 3 stops 2013 (Fiero) Power Tour 2 stops 2016 (passenger)
If I can be the bearer of good news, it was announced by our club president in the monthly news letter, that pre-registrations for Carlisle 2022 have now reached 80. IMO, this should easily put the number of Fieros at the Carlisle event over 100 by show time. Carlisle may now be the largest annual Fiero event in the country.

Oh man... it's not often you hear or read "bearer of..." followed by "good news". My brain did an 'autocorrect' and tricked me into thinking it said bad news. So I was really confused when I got to the end of your post. Thankfully the shock of seeing 'bad news' and wondering what it could be woke me up enough to process what your wrote and not what my imagination read.
Fieros at Carlisle is the best show in the USA because it offers far more than any other show. For instance did you ever hear of a Fiero Show with this.
or a large flea market where you can find literature, automotive tools, parts, paints, accessories and maintenance/car care stuff
Point is that the show has something for everyone. Its never boring.

It has been announced by MAFOA that the registrations for Carlisle 2022 have now hit 110. If we add in the expected gate registrations the day of the show that puts the huge attendance on par with what it was last year. Its going to be some fantastic event. Can't wait to take the drive out. If you are attending don't forget the sunscreen! It appears that the Fiero section has been moved to the green field this year so that the club can enjoy having a larger tent. I've been told that this is a premium area of the fairgrounds where some of the larger clubs usually show. MORE LATE BREAKING NEWS 6/16/2022 With just a bit more than a week to go, the club just announced that registration is now 120 Fieros. Its going to be one BIG show. ------------------ " THE BLACK PARALYZER" -87GT 3800SC Series III engine, custom ZZP /Frozen Boost Intercooler setup, 3.4" Pulley, Northstar TB, LS1 MAF, 3" Spintech/Hedman Exhaust, P-log Manifold, Autolite 104's, MSD wires, Custom CAI, 4T65eHD w. custom axles, Champion Radiator, S10 Brake Booster, HP Tuners VCM Suite.

They changed where the Fieros will be on the field this year. Here's a pic showing where we will be for 2022. We had usually been down at the bottom of the red field area, but for 2022 we are in a different spot over in the green field:

One of my daughter's schoolmates who lives near Pensacola posted "WTF!? I came to Pa to get away from the damned heat."
Hope you guys have a wonderful event. The cards just kept coming up Jokers with my cars. Just wasn't meant to be this year.
I tried to get one decent pic from the event. I sent it to Jen along with a picture of our hotel parking lot party on Saturday night. And I won MAFOA's Best Work In Progress again this year. And was told that if we don't have it running as planned by next year, I have to put on this hideous whale-tail spoiler for a year. lol
