Traffic Flow at Corvettes at Carlisle

The reason we split the two groups is to make sure the lines and traffic flow into the Fairgrounds is as smooth as possible and that you experience as little traffic as possible. Please help us keep traffic moving!

Pre-Registered Participants

Pre-registering for Corvettes at Carlisle has its advantages; not only do you save money on registration, but you also get to be on the fast track for picking up your credentials and goodies at the event.

Gate 3 is the main entrance for the Fairgrounds, this will not change. However, if you PRE-REGISTERED for the show you will FIRST drive into our main entrance, Gate 3 to pick up your credentials and goodie bag. This makes your process smooth and seamless as possible getting into the Fairgrounds. You should pick up your credentials and goody bag at the registration tent.
