I emailed them months ago but no response. I called them earlier this week. Turns out they don't do c6s. Bummed out, cause it looked like they do great work. Soooo, I look forward to the vendor list.(btw...a running list would be nice). Patrick from gmpartshouse can get the products. But has no one to install. We're arriving Wednesday so we can enjoy the entire event. We look forward to seeing all of the corvette family-Yol Bolsun

Check out Corvette America. They manufacture seats and covers in their Reedsville plant just outside of State College. You may be able to purchase the covers for a discount at Carlisle then swing by their plant for install. I'm not sure, but it's worth a try.

You can also come in Gate 1 and Gate 5 as well as Gate 3. Depending on the time you want to depart, I'd recommend considering parking outside of Gate 1 (non-Corvette) parking - easy to walk in and out of the facility.
Sorry you can't make the entire event, but at least you're able to make one day!
Cheers,
Lance

I'll be there Fri-Sun. I believe this is my fourth or fifth year attending CAC. This year I entered the fun field simply because it was less than two three day passes and parking. Use to get season passes but still got dinged for parking. 
Looking to see who is doing installs this year. Outside of the exhaust guys I swear the list is getting shorter each year.
Looking for a Halo light install, side vent grills, ????....

--> 1964 Corvette Reunion - It's the 50th year celebration for the 1964 Corvette so we plan on making a big splash about it!
--> Corvette Race Reunion - Don't miss this awesome display of incredible Corvette race cars.

7. Saturday @ NOON - August 23, 2014 - REV YOUR ENGINES for 15 seconds & follow with a moment of silence. A tribute for my father, Chip Miller, who passed away from amyloidosis (more info: ChipMiller.org). This rev is for every Corvette hobbyist who lost a loved one or dear friend – let them hear and feel the rumble!
8. Chip's Choice is a special invitation-only display inside of Building T that highlights one aspect of the Corvette hobby. This year's theme will focus on the story behind the car. We're seeking Corvettes that honor relationships related to the vehicle. Such as a bonding experience through a restoration, or perhaps a love story that turned into marriage and etc.
10. We’re delighted to have the Chevrolet Team during Corvettes at Carlisle. This year expect to see a large number of Engineers and other GM team members sharing their knowledge on the all new Corvette. This will be something every Corvette enthusiast won’t want to miss!

Life is good,
Lance Miller

Mark, we're glad to have you attend Corvettes at Carlisle for the first time! We'll do our best to make sure you have a great time and have you mark your calendar for future years! 
We do not have a one day pass for sale online, if you are coming for the day I'd recommend just purchasing a ticket at the gate upon your arrival - parking is available on-grounds for a small fee (for Corvettes only) and there is plenty of parking all around the facility by neighboring properties.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate asking them here. We look forward to having you!
Sincerely,
Lance
PS Sorry for the slow response, I'm in FL preparing for another event we're hosting this coming weekend.

Many of us on the forum are wondering if you would consider having a 60th Anniversary 427 convertible section on the fun field. In years past you've set these up for ZR1s, ZO6s, etc. It would be cool to get as many of these limited production cars in one place as possible.

The last of C6s is actually a hell of a car when you think about it. It should not go under appreciated

I'm happy to carry out what people are looking to accomplish. The themed displays such as the 50th Anniversary cars ('64s this year), the Challenge Car display & etc. all have anniversaries (Challenge Car is 25 years young). Next year we plan on producing the American Flag and honoring Vets 
Let me know how you feel the 427 theme would fit and what you envision - either PM me, place it here or hit me up via email: lancem<AT SIGN>carlisleevents.com.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I think we all just want to park together like you did for the Z06's a few years ago, or like you do for the Grand Sports, the Carlisle blues, the Callaways, etc. These are 1 year cars and, not to sound snobbish, I think we deserve some recognition as well.

Question for Lance. Got my sticker in the mail today and was reading over the letter. Noticed that it had a warning in it about reserving spaces with ropes, security tape, chairs, etc. and that they will be removed by security staff. What about our pop up canopies? We always leave ours there, but don't use chairs or tape, etc. We just make sure we're there plenty early so as to have our car parked before the rush. Will that be okay as usual this year? We always either drop it to the ground or take the top off in case of bad weather.
I certainly understand your message about the tape and chairs. It was out of control last year and kept a lot of people who came early from finding places to park, while those who had their area taped off didn't show up till after noon.
I'd appreciate your answer. To be honest, if we have to take down the shade canopy each night, this will most likely be the last year for us as we're older and it's a real chore for us to take it down and put it up. But I will respect whatever your rules are.
