I am already planning on Carlisle but wife is getting annoyed with me sitting around the house too much  ::)  so told me to start planning some trips for this year. I am in New Hampshire so looking for ones I can trailer the car to. The Holley Moparty looks like fun but it`s a 17 hour drive which is a bit much. What other big shows are there in the Northeast worth hitting?

 :wrenching: Not sure if Englishtown still has any shows? I haven't gone there since I moved away from NJ back in the late 90's :notsure:

I went to Englishtown one year for an all Mopar show/swap meet/racing. I'll say it was around 2008. I was very impressed with the track itself. Sadly, I wasn't so impressed by the number of cars, or the swap meet area. Someone there said Carlisle is hurting them as far as turnout goes. I don't know for sure if that's true or not.   :dunno:

No.  The dragstrip is long gone.   :verymad:
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

The drag strip itself is no more but there are still events at Englishtown like the swap meet and others. That said I don't see the Mopar event on the calendar this year. There was some attempt at keeping it going after the drag racing ended but maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

I was up in Lake George one time when the Adirondack Nationals were going on, mopars were way outnumbered by everything else but it was cool to watch the cars cruising up and down the main drag. It would be something I'd go to more often if it were closer to me.

Also have heard the Syracuse Nationals gets a lot of cars but again mopars far outnumbered by everything else.

I haven`t been but a number of people I know from around here go up to those shows and have good things to say about them but like you said it`s all makes so Mopars are pretty outnumbered. I like and appreciate all kinds of things with wheels from cars to trucks to motorcycles but my passion is Mopar so I might get bored looking at mostly brand X stuff all weekend.

Englishtown unfortunately is horrible now especially the swap meet unless you're looking for a lawnmower or beat up bicycles. Forget about finding a Mopar part. Hopefully one day that will change. Mopar show there stop about 3-4 years ago and there wasn't many cars there and maybe 20 vendors.

How about a visit north of the border? Moparfest in New Hamburg Ontario says they are back on for 2022. Check out Moparfest.com.
Looks like a 10 hour trip for you - I'm not sure if there is anything special with bringing it across the border in a trailer - I always drive to Carlisle. Would be great to see you at Moparfest. Mopars only and historically around 1300-1400 cars from all over. Ok swap meet - nothing like Carlisle but always Mopar stuff there.
I'm hoping to do Carlisle and Moparfest again this year - missed both the last 2.

10 hours to Canada is doable and would be cool as I`m sure most cars I haven`t seen before, problem is the border isn`t fully open yet and I am not vaccinated and don`t plan to be so that could be an issue.

Charlotte NC, has a good car show every year at the race track.   This year is April 7-10.   Its not a Mopar only but one of the largest car shows and swap meet in the south.  Lots of cars and vendors... 

Another is at Raleigh when the traveling "Good Guys" go there...April 24'th at the Raleigh fairgrounds.   Again, not a Mopar only but a large show, with plenty of vendors and swap meet.   

Both of the above are pay events for cars and spectators.

Myrtle Beach is having their annual "Run to the Sun" Car show on March 17-19.    It is HUGE maybe 5,000 cars there.   Again, this isn't Mopar only, but it is huge, and includes a swap meet.   Its right in the middle of Myrtle Beach 2 blocks from the ocean.
