2021 Chip's Choice Display - A Salute to Law Enforcement
Corvettes at Carlisle honor the brave who wear a badge and keep us safe
In case you were wondering what Chip's Choice is, it's our annual special display that is showcased within Building T. Named after our late company co-founder and National Corvette Hall of Famer Chip Miller, this display embodies the best-of-the-best in the Corvette hobby.
Growing up, so many kids want to be a police officer, work in law enforcement or protect and defend in some manner. Another dream of many is to own a Corvette. For Corvettes at Carlisle in 2021, Chip's Choice spotlights those who saw both dreams come true with a unique Salute to Law Enforcement display.
This special display will bring together around a dozen cars that are owned, driven, shown and otherwise cared for by members of the law enforcement community. It doesn't matter the level; local, state, federal or military…if you are serving or have served and protected, we want to honor you!
In addition, Corvettes at Carlisle is planning a new spin on a popular feature - the flag display. For 2021, in conjunction with the Salute to Law Enforcement display, we're hoping to bring together black, blue and white Corvettes to generate a larger than life "Thin Blue Line" flag. FYI - more details and links to apply to be part of this once in a lifetime display will be available soon.

In 1996 Chevrolet decided that a very special Corvette was needed to commemorate the end of the C4 model run. It was special enough to share a name very familiar to Corvette aficionados… GRAND SPORT. Named for the awesome and extremely rare 1963 Corvette racer of which only 5 were built, this new iteration featured a special Admiral Blue exterior with a full-length Arctic White stripe, two red hash marks over the left front fender, black spoke wheels, and more. Only 1,000 were produced: 810 coupes and 190 convertibles, each with a special VIN sequence and outfitted with the one year only high performance 330HP LT4 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Very unique!

Very unique!
Fast forwarding to 2010, the Grand Sport was once again offered as an option for the sixth generation Corvette, blending the best of both worlds between a Z51 Stingray and a more performance based Z06. This combination offered enthusiasts the awesome wide body styling and superb handling offered by the same tires, brakes, and suspension of the Z06 but with the excellent street manners of an LS3 6.2-liter V-8, producing 436HP.
When the iconic and world-class C7 Stingray was released in 2014, many bemoaned the fact that a Grand Sport variant was not on the option list. Thankfully, GM responded to their pleas in 2017 by offering GS coupes and convertibles with a 460HP LT1 engine and a wide array of options and color schemes, including a heritage version harking back to the 1996 model featuring a new Admiral Blue exterior, wide White stripe, black wheels, and of course, those iconic hashmarks!
For 2021, as part of the 25th Anniversary of the ’96 Grand Sport, Corvettes at Carlisle and the Official Grand Sport Registry are shining the spotlight on this legendary marque by offering a special registration package for all generations of Grand Sport Owners.
Package details are as follows and cost JUST $72.00.
10% off Fun Field regular price
2021 Goody Bag and free Fun Field Shirt (While supplies last)
Eligible to receive a Celebrity Choice Award
Free special 25th Anniversary shirt!
Option to purchase a second shirt for just $10.00 more
$25 off per person to the CMAF Benefit Dinner on Friday August 27. (Includes industry guests, full course catered meal, drinks, a display of special Corvettes, opportunity to dine with Team Chevrolet, raffles, door prizes, live auction and Grand Sport presentations)

A Tribute to Chip Miller and Other Corvette Friends and Family
On Saturday at noon, we would like for all drivers near their Corvettes to start their engines and give them a good rev for 15 seconds in tribute to Chip Miller (co-founder of Carlisle Events) and all of our other Corvette friends that have passed, followed by a brief moment of silence.

CANCELED FOR 2020 ONLY - RETURNING IN 2021
The NCRS Gallery's purpose is to present an ever-changing unique Corvette collection in a true gallery exhibit format. This enables non-NCRS members to have a better understanding of the National Corvette Restorers Society and the group’s goals and purposes. The collection is made up of select Corvettes representing many NCRS Judging Classes, Duntov Mark of Excellence Award® winners, McLellan Mark of Excellence Award® winners, NCRS-Chevrolet Bowtie Award® recipients for Preservation Excellence, American Heritage Award® recipients, and Sportsman Award® Corvettes.
The 2021 Gallery will also pay tribute to a dear friend and NCRS member, Elaine Raisner. Elaine has been an integral part of the NCRS Gallery and partner to Corvettes at Carlisle for many years. Her dedication to the Gallery has been the driving force behind some of the most incredible vehicles featured. The Corvette community has lost an incredible woman, and we are honored to pay tribute to her memory. She'll also be recognized in the 2020 event guide, along with photos of her beloved Corvette.
Be sure not to miss this phenomenal display as it returns to Corvettes at Carlisle in 2021!

Handy Tips for a Successful Trip Through the Automotive Flea Market
FREE Taxi Service and Parts Hauling Help Get You From A to B at Carlisle
The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is a large footprint that can be a challenge at times, even for the most experienced attendee. 82 acres, 16+ miles of paved roadway, vendors and cars everywhere…it’s easy to understand how you may start wondering to yourself “where did I see that part or car I want to buy?” “How do I get my purchase from its space to my truck?” “How am I going to do this?”

Never fear, because we’ve compiled a helpful list of ways that enhance your on-site experience at Carlisle! Thanks for joining us and enjoy your time at the show!
BRING CASH - The more the better. It’s hard to negotiate a deal without being able to pay.
WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - It’s a lot of walking.
SUN BLOCK/DRINK LIQUIDS - You’ll be in the sun all day. It’s important to protect yourself and stay hydrated, especially if your weekend outdoors is your first prolonged exposure to the sun for the year.
REMEMBER THE SPACE - Take a picture of the space location or write it down. Every space at Carlisle has a disk to designate the space. Look down and you’ll see the space marker. Write down the letter and number. Don’t try to remember the space or the surrounding area. You’ll spend the rest of the day looking for it.
COME EARLY - Rare parts and great deals typically happen for the first person to find them. Set up day(s) and the first day of the event are for the serious shoppers.
ACT FAST - If you see a great deal, grab it. If you plan to come back later, it will probably be gone.
NEGOTIATE - It’s a flea market so don’t be afraid to make a REASONABLE offer.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - Chances are good that you will find something you weren’t planning to find, so keep your eyes open.
LOOK EVERYWHERE - Even if you are looking for parts for your brand of vehicle, don’t walk past the vendor selling parts for other models or generations just because you assume there’s no way the vendor has what you want. Give their space a look too. They might not only have it, it may be cheap since it’s not what they typically sell.
USE THE CARLISLE EVENTS APP - Use the FREE Carlisle Events app to easily find your way back to a vendor (if you know the row and space). You can also use it to check activity schedules, register for other events, connect with fellow enthusiasts via social media, browse a digital copy of the event guide and more.
STAY LATE – There are always deals at Carlisle, but sometimes the best ones happen early on day 1 of a show, or late on its final day.Vendors are typically more willing to negotiate when they are packing up – especially large items.
BRING A SHOPPING LIST - Our memories aren’t as good as we think. Write it down. You can even make a list on your phone. Take pictures of what you need.
BRING A BAG, CART, ETC. - Parts will get heavy so have a way to carry your purchases. Ask the seller if you can leave heavy parts until later.
HAVE IT HAULED - Carlisle Events offers FREE* parts hauling. Keep that in mind if you’re looking at an engine, transmission, truck bed, etc.
FREE TAXI SERVICE – Need to get from point A to point B but don’t feel like walking it? Carlisle Events offers a FREE* taxi service. Dial 717-960-6429 to secure a ride.
ASK! - If someone has parts for a vehicle but not the ones you need, ask if the seller has it. It might still be in his truck or at home. Even if he doesn’t, he might know someone who does.
KNOW THE VALUE - Do some homework on the parts you’re looking for so you know if the price is a good deal.
AVOID THE CROWDS - When you arrive, go to an out-of-the-way area to start rather than following the herd.
WALK IT ALL - Don’t miss any rows. The Carlisle Fairgrounds isn’t a perfect grid so make sure you hit every row and space.
ADVERTISE - Wear a hat, shirt or signboard that spotlights what you’re looking for. It just might create a conversation, especially if what you’re searching for is obscure and/or rare.
*While parts hauling and taxi service are free, donations are graciously accepted. Donated money goes directly to the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation.
