Carlisle Performance & Style

Carlisle PA Fairgrounds

Carlisle Performance & Style saw a 60% bump in pre-registration and everyone who came to Carlisle thoroughly enjoyed themselves this year. The weekend opened Friday with a late afternoon cruise-in and a low car limbo, plus the chance to beat the weekend rush by registering for the showfield or at least picking up materials in advance of the Saturday rush of guests.

With many ready to cruise onsite Saturday, the hobby was on full display as thousands of cars adorned the grounds. Displays included one dedicated specifically to domestic cars, another for Asian machines, European styles where showcased and so were the ladies with a display that featured cars owned, maintained and shown exclusively by females.

P&S also featured a great club atmosphere, hosted a burnout competition and beauty contest. Sunday wrapped with an awards presentation and while P&S has concluded for 2013, the event returns to Carlisle, May 10-11, 2014.
