Most Car Events Attended in One Year

Former Member

2008 is going to be the busiest car show year for me. Between my work in NASCAR, assisting tracks, and selling marketing overdrive transmissions, I can't remember doing this much. Hope to see you in October for our Speedster Smoky Mountain Rally if not before:

February: Daytona Speedweeks
March: NASCAR in Las Vegas & Bristol, Corvette Show in Knoxville
April: Spring Carlisle
May: NHRA in Bristol
June: NASCAR in Sonoma, CA
August: Monterey Historics & Pebble Beach Concours in Carmel
NASCAR in Bristol or Corvettes at Carlisle
October: Speedsters attack The Smokies
November: Bondurant driving school and SEMA

I know someone in our group has topped this. What's your list.........

Leon - Actually the Spring Carlisle event IS in April, but it's a separate event than "our" Carlisle show. Unfortunately Tom is going to have to work during the May Carlisle, and won't be able to attend.

I do at least 4 of the Carlisle shows each year.
Spring Carlisle is absolutely huge, just about every vendor space is filled. However, there is a steady decline in the Flea Market area due to eBay sales......... Egg sammiches here I come.

Don't forget Watkins Glen's Vintage Races the first week in September...

And the Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance in early November...

Speaking of Watkins Glen, maybe some of us can pitch in to help John Fitch, the founder of Lime Rock Raceway in Connecticut and inventor of those yellow, barrel-like safety barriers at the start of off-ramps on interstates. He's about 90 years old now, and being hassled by state and federal government (the EPA,, no less..) and needs help:
