CLASSES FOR ALL GM VEHICLES INCLUDING CAMAROS & FIREBIRDS

Continuing our storied tradition of producing great events, the GM Nationals celebrates its 11th anniversary in 2012. This event features ALL of the timeless classics produced by The General! Especially plenty of Camaros & Firebirds! The "Camaros At Carlisle" includes a complete line up of classes to cover all years and models of Camaros & Firebirds, including the 5th generation.

Our Judging format offers at least three awards per class plus a “Best of Award” for the various makes and models AND a very prestigious "Best Of Show" award!. We'll also be adding to our cash awards for 2012 (See our web site, CarlisleEvents.com for more info).

Judging your GM vehicle, including your Camaro or Firebird is not required, but why not give it a shot?

Steve Shauger continues to lead the team involved with the Vintage Certification Program. In fact, they will be expanding to include Chevelles and Corvettes.

Don’t miss the regular features we offer like our Swap Meet, Manufacturers Midway, Car Corral, Invitational Displays, special activities & guests and giveaways.

Special guests this year are still being firmed up. Keep checking our GM Nationals web site for the latest & greatest info about the event.

Bruce Larson with bring BOTH of his USA-1 Fuel Funny Cars, the Camaro AND the Corvette. We’ll be conducting an on-line contest where two winners each on Friday & Saturday will win the opportunity to sit in and “Warm Up” Bruce’s Fuel Funny Cars. AND…

All this AND more will continue the Carlisle Events tradition of producing family friendly events full of fun and excitement. Including the Women’s Oasis and the Kids Area. Plus, live entertainment from a very good band, (we have to keep this under wraps for now).

Join us for the GM Nationals! You’ll be happy you did! :clap:

I have not gone for the last couple of years. I won my clas 3 yrs in a row when I did. This year I have been invited for both performance and style, and All GM Nationals. So you will see me there. Make sure you all stop by to say hello. Its been sometime since I have met any of the NJFBOA Members.
