Great Saturday at Carlisle! Weather was overcast with a nice breeze in the early morning before heating up. Mach 1 (2021-2023) count was 27 today. It is possible that I may have missed anyone who left before 2 pm.

Great day at Carlisle! There were 27 Mach 1's (2021-2023) on the showfield and I saw at least two others hiding elsewhere, including one in the for sale area. Morning started off great but the heat was brutal by the afternoon. So much to see! The theme this year is clearly the Broncos and they...

Tips for the guys who keep things clean. I would hate to see what it would look like if they didn't have attendants.

Just picked up an 8 pack of orange Gatorade. Should be enough for Friday at least. Need to grab a hand full of $1 bills for the guys that man the restrooms too. Gonna be hot this weekend, got to be fully prepared!

Just be careful not to get caught selling stuff out of your trunk or passing around parts for sale flyers. I've seen a few people get the boot from the fair grounds when seen by staff.

If you are coming from the North (Mechanicsburg) like I do, I can just stay on surface streets by starting on Trindle Road, then Army Heritage Road, then E. North Street to Post Road and finally Route 11 to Cavalry Road. If you are coming on I-76 or I-81, just get off at the Route 11 exit to...

BIG NEWS!! They have opened a new Gate 6 Access from Cavalry Road on the East side of the show field. This is for cars that are pre-registered in Blue, Yellow, and Green areas of the show field. See this video for info Gate 6 Access for 2026 Ford Nationals . For those of us near Gate 6 that...

Looks like there will be some really interesting stuff to see displayed this year Cougar II Concept Heading To 2026 Ford Nationals

Current extended weather forecast for Carlisle next weekend. Bring plenty of sunscreen!

I always try to get to the line to get to the gate by 7:30 and recommend you plan to get there as early as you possibly can. The line will already be well away from the showfield and slowly creeping along. Choosing your spot can mean a lot depending on where your class is located. There will be...

The Ford Nationals information is now loaded on the Carlisle Events app.

Not necessarily. My Halibrands (not forged) with tires in a larger overall size than the stock Ford wheels still came in about 5 lbs lighter. I'm also perfectly happy with the ride quality. I suspect the MagneRide shocks help a bit. The thing that helped me decide to go to 20" wheels is that...

Mine is not the same color as yours but I do think bronze wheels look good on mustangs. Then again I may be a bit biased. Wheels are 20x10 and 20x11s.

They come flat and are not side specific so I don't see why you couldn't flip them around to place the logo inside. The inside is very smooth.

I've had mine on since mid 2023 with no problems. Over time they may shift a little but they can easily be moved back into place. Don't overtighten the fasteners.

You won't see anything about the Ford Nationals right now but in the days before each show they add all the details and info for the upcoming event. Next show in the immediate future is the Import and Performance show May 15-16. You'll be able to see some of the info for that show before they...

Something that everyone should consider when coming to any Carlisle show/event is to download the Carlisle Events app on your phone. It will have all of the information about the show including vendors, restrooms, show classes, and even does a mapping feature to take you from where you are to...

Here is the Mach 1 area of the showfield last year from the hilltop on Saturday, my car and again on Sunday morning. Don't come on Sunday.

You can bring the canopy but you are responsible for anything that happens because of it. There are still some in the Mach 1 group that have trauma over a canopy that got loose three years ago and did some serious damage to some cars. Last year the rain came in fast on Saturday afternoon and I...

Just got my registration packet today! They have moved the Mach 1 area back to the eastern fence near the car corral. Still not a bad area and maybe I'll get lucky and find some shade. See you there!
