The Camaro Nationals are produced by a group of Camaro owners, who volunteer their time for the good of the hobby. The thought originally formed in 1998 after the Camaro Street Nationals East ended, after thirteen years in the Pocono Mountains of PA. As one of the reasons the Street Nationals ended was the limited availability of large hotels, the first Camaro Nationals were held in August of 1999, at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania. We arranged to have space during what was then called Summer Carlisle, an automotive flea market date along with motorcycles, and some foreign cars. Due to the August heat, we changed dates several times, and as the show grew. The Camaro Nationals remained at Carlisle through 2010.
After the 2010 show, the need for more indoor space, along with other situations, lead us to look for a new home. After considering many locations and factors, the event was moved to the Frederick Fairgrounds, in Frederick Maryland, south of Gettysburg, PA.
We schedule the show for the weekend AFTER Father’s Day.
There is plenty to keep you busy…..a Kick Off Cruise, indoor and outdoor displays of Camaros, 4 levels of judging, a banquet, a Charity Auction, food and parts vendors, evening parking lot parties, great shopping and restaurants, and great friends.
Everyone is welcome at the Camaro Nationals!
