Carlisle or Nats-which is better?

It's Carlisle for me hands down, and I'm only a couple hours from the Nats.
I like Carlisle's organization compared to the Nats free for all.
Also, the last time we were at the Nats we cruised over to Heath, and was a traffic nightmare. We asked the ice cream guy what was going on and the response was they closed lanes of traffic to try and detur the car guys.
I do like the dragracing on site at the nats, and that's all.
