Never heard of camaro nationals.  Depends on where that is as to whether I'd go.  I've done Carlisle before for Ford and GM, that's usually pretty good.

I attended the Spring nationals and will also go to the GM nationals at Carlisle the end of June.  There is usually lots of parts vendors - kinda flee market atmosphere.  Lots of fun.  I'm not familiar with Camaro nationals.

Well that makes 2 of us  ;D

I did try to google it, and a camaro nationals website came up but no where on the home page does it mention anything about where it is that I could find.  I thought that was strange.  They might want to look into that, maybe hire a new web page designer, lol.

You'll see some great cars being detail judged at the Camaro Nationals in Fredericksburg (about an hour from Carlisle).. There are huge amounts of parts and cars at Carlisle (but not as many first gen Camaros since the Camaro folks moved their show)..

I'm afraid I'm going to miss them both this year as we are going to the races at Watkins Glen. I'd recommend hitting both as the cars being judged can always be fantastic and Carlisle has its advantages also including the building of normally outstanding cars outside gate 1. The orange 24K mile 69Z survivor I posted pictures of will be there.

Carlisle.  More going on there...vendors, flea market, and GM cars with plenty of Camaros.

Fredricksburg and Carlisle are close enough in proximity that one can do both as Brian302 and I (and some others) did last year!

To clarify, the Camaro Nationals are in Frederick MD and held at the fairgrounds, not in Fredericksburg which is in VA between DC and Richmond.

Kelley - you are correct, Jerry M is a "Master Judge" for the Legends Concours Certification at the Camaro Nationals...
