Fieros at Carlisle 2009

It's MAFOA's famous "Show within a show", June 27th 2009. All the fun and excitement that comes with a Carlisle event and the perfect place to see other Fieros and meet other Fiero owners. It's one of the largest annual Fiero events in the world, and it's held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, PA. Come one, come all, whether you have a show car and are out to win this year's best of show or you have a work in progress and simply want to meet other Fiero owners like you. Everyone is welcome. There will be Fiero specific vendors on hand as well so if you are looking for that hard to find Fiero only part, this is the place to be. To read Tom Derr's write-up on last year's Carlisle event, see this excerpt from a previous issue of the Fiero Pride newsletter.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not sure what class my car belongs in; how do I decide?

Not to worry, all cars will be placed in a class upon arrival to the show field.

If you still have questions, contact us at activities@mafoa.com, and describe your car, major modifications and such, and we'll try to help you.
 

What is the cost of entering the show?

Entry fees below show total cost as follows:

• 1 car: $30
• 2 cars: $55
• 3rd and subsequent cars: $20 each

 

I paid MAFOA via PayPal. How do I prove payment at the gate?

Shortly before the show, you should receive a postcard from Carlisle Productions. At the gate, Carlisle Productions has a Pre-registered Table. Go there, give them your postcard and they will give you the Carlisle Goodie Bag along with your showfield pass and sticker. The majority of your money covers the Carlisle Productions entry fee, a portion of it covers the MAFOA fee (goes toward the army of trophies and prizes we hand out in MAFOA-land), and $1 goes for the pay pal transaction fee.  

What do you have scheduled for the weekend?

All Day - Enjoy the other happenings around the fairgrounds, shop the flea market vendors, look at Fieros, talk to Fiero owners, have a good time! There are Carlisle activities all weekend long. MAFOA activities are as follows:

• Fridays Schedule
• 6:00PM - Club Meeting
• Saturdays Schedule

Are these two different shows at the same time and place?

The Carlisle event is indeed the All-GM Nationals. It features a large showground for all the General's best, as well as hundreds of vendors (parts, supplies, collectibles, indoor feature displays, car corral, seminars, etc.) catering to the show crowd. The MAFOA show is a show within the Carlisle show. When you come to the MAFOA tent for the MAFOA registration, you will receive our Goodie Bag and class card and be shown where to park. 

I want to be in the Carlisle All-GM Nationals show; how do I register?

If you want to participate in the Carlisle All-GM Nationals you can register with them directly, or through MAFOA. The advantage of registering through MAFOA is that it enables you to park/show with the Fieros, and still participate in all of our festivities. More information on the Carlisle All-GM Nationals can be found on the Cars at Carlisle site. Whether you register through us or directly with Carlisle Events, you will have a entry pass and showfield parking for all 3 days. Many MAFOA folks arrive on Friday and a fair share stay through Sunday too. 

Does this replace the MAFOA show at the Import Kit / Replicar Nationals? Why?

1. Yes, we feel more of our members are interested in Pontiac and GM and will get more enjoyment from the GM Nationals.
2. The weather in May during the Import / Replicar show has at times been poor. The June timeframe of the GM show should give us a better chance of nice weather.
