Chris. Whether you bring the kid or not, be prepared.
Find the event you're comparing it to and pull up the site map.
Then go check over the Carlisle site maps.
They're here:
Start with this one.

There's some more here:
Carlisle Chrysler Nationals - Resources
That will give you some idea of scale.
Then decide what you want to do.
I never liked Englishtown, but I learned it was important to have a plan. If I was going for parts, then I had a plan of how to methodically look for the items on my list. And looking meant asking when it made sense, and noit asking when it didn't. If I was going to run the car, that was a part of the plan. Was I going to look at the show cars, if so jut a quick peruse or was there something specific?
Carlisle is much bigger. The only time I've gone I hardly looked at swap meet or look at the general show. That's not why I was there. So that made an easy day compared to one where I tried to cover a lot of ground and do a lot of things.
Point is do your recon. Take in the intel, decide what your goals are and make a plan so you don't have a cranky kid.
