Carlisle went down hill when that lisa woman left in my opinion.. but last time i went i found a few things for our dart for cheap too..

Carlisle claims record attendance every year too but thats just because there is more new stuff there now making up for lower old car counts.

as far as racing at e-town goes.. i have no interest in it.. i live 10 minutes from atco dragway so i can go race or watch racing anytime i want. i know not everyone has that luxury but from the looks of it not too many are interested in running or watching at e-towm either.. only time you would ever see people (even in the good days) watching the racing was when the big boys came out or when they were sitting in the bleachers eating lunch or taking a break..

i agree the events don't bring in enough young people.. just too expensive for them to get into the mopar hobby anymore..

I drove 3 hours to E-town dragging a car on a trailer. I did it just to see how it really it was for swap meet. I heard it was bad but was not expecting it to be that bad. It was really bad. There was like no people walking around in the swap meet area at all. Had 2 sales and one was from another vendor across from me. I did it for the experience and did not expect to much. If I sold sold something ok. I agree. That show is definitely dead. Till something big changes to draw crowd. It is sad to see it the way it is. First time there ever but used to hear about how great and big it was in the 80's and 90's.

On another note, I am thinking of going to Mopar Madness coming up here on 16 Sept in Petersburg, VA Motor speedway Dragstrip. I went there only 1 time and that was around 12 years ago. I thought that was small and not much of swap meet. I would say a little better than E-town. The drag racing there was good though. Same thing though. Not much attendence in stands but a lot of cars racing. How is it these days? I went on You Tube and watched a few videos of the shows of last few years but can anyone tell me the crowd turn out or swap meet turn out? Looking to do the same thing. Drag a car on trailer and take some parts for sale.

Thnks.
