2022 Carlisle Import/Performance Nationals

[gdh57]

ATTENTION PHA DRIVERS We need YOUR car for the 2022 PHA Race Car Display at the May 13 and 14 Carlisle Import/Performance Nationals.

Since 2006, the PHA has enjoyed a major presence at the Carlisle Import/Performance Nationals through our display. Each year, it has attracted hundreds of visitors who stopped by to learn who we are, what we do and how our racing activities promote the oldest continuing form of automobile completion – hill climbing. Our exhibit includes constantly running video, still pictures, printed literature and a large attractive display of PHA race cars and their drivers who enjoy interacting with visitors. Our race cars have always been the most popular and interesting part of our exhibit.

(Note from Grace – Check out this blog post about our exhibit at the 2021 Show: http://pahillclimb.org/2021/05/pha-at-t ... -nationals)

Again this year, the PHA will be represented at the Carlisle Import/Performance Nationals - the largest import/performance car show in the US. Our display will be located under roof in the large open-sided Race Car Pavilion at the East side of the fairgrounds. Participation for us is totally free. This includes driver credentials, tow vehicle including passengers, race car and trailer parking. There will be adequate space for all our tow vehicles and trailers to park in close proximity to the pavilion for the weekend.

This year Overall show hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday. Our PHA Race car exhibition needs to be open each day from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

We need a minimum of 25 PHA cars for our exhibition, so we really do need your car!

If you plan to participate, please complete the on-line application at http://www.CarlisleFeatures.com. Fill out the application, add a picture and send it back to Carlisle Productions as soon as possible so a picture of your car can be included in the event program. In order to be accepted to show with the PHA, on the application in the space under car history, you must indicate that your car is a PHA race car - no other information is necessary for us. While the application asks for several pictures of your car, one picture will be sufficient for PHA cars.

Drivers whose cars are accepted will be notified on-line by Carlisle Productions with instructions as to where, upon first arrival at gate three, you go to pick up admission credentials for race cars, tow vehicles and trailers plus occupants.

If you intend to show your car on both days you may either leave it overnight Friday in your paddock display space inside the pavilion or return it to your trailer for safe keeping. Carlisle does provide security throughout the weekend. To show each day you need to arrive prior to 9 a.m. Drivers may choose to show on Saturday only if need be. For drivers exhibiting their cars both days, or for those who wish to arrive on Thursday evening there is nothing to prevent participants from sleeping in their trailers or tow vehicles overnight. Note that there is no tent camping in the area where trailers and tow vehicles are parked.

If you plan to show your car - in addition to completing and sending back the application - please notify Gordon Wise at redhotvr6@hotmail.com or by phone at (717) 964-3044 (leave a voice mail) so he and John Pitman, co-organizers of the exhibit, can reserve sufficient space for you in the paddock. Please indicate which day(s) you plan to exhibit.

Come and experience the fun while enjoying the companionship with your fellow PHA drivers. Attendance at Carlisle for our drivers has always been enjoyable. The show is overflowing with car culture while offering lots to do. Let’s make a great impression as we promote hill climbing with the PHA. John and Gordon hope to see you there. If you encounter any difficulty registering, sending a picture, etc. contact Gordon.
