The Opel Nationals is considered the "event to go to if you can only attend one major event that year".
Individuals or groups manage regional events held annually throughout the country. Attending the one in your region is a great way to held these expand and grow. The Nationals are rotated through these regional events. The schedule is somewhat flexible and is usually set 2 to 3 years in advance to help with planning.
Post your thoughts and comments about future National's locations here.
It looks like Carlisle has changed things up. The Import & Kit show has now been combined with the Performance & Style show and moved to May 20-22, 2016.
I don't see any advantage other than to make things more crowded. And now I have to explain to my wife that she didn't have to persuade her bowling team to change their plans for the women's nationals after all.:sigh:

Rate is $99.99, unless you only stay one night, in which case it is $119.99.
It is booked as " ALT-OPEL CLUB"
Cut-off for getting a room under the group deal is 30th April, or once all 60 rooms are gone.

Harrisburg is the closest (approx 30 min. by car to Carlisle). There are regular flights from Detroit, Toronto, Chicago and Atlanta.
Or you can fly to Washington, Baltimore or Philadelphia (approx. 2 hours by car to Carlisle).
I tried all of those combinations when I worked in Shippensburg near Carlisle. I prefer Harrisburg which is small, well organized airport and not crowded.
Yep working on them now.. and going to have all the proceeds go to his family.
I was actually thinking of doing something like the yellow/red as a special commemorative version, along with the traditional ones in Black ( I'm out of work shirts.. )
