Well, say goodbye to another place.

After Carlisle refusing to have the show there, its not going to be happening at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA next year either.

I live in Harrisburg, and know people in high area's of the City, and one of the biggest people that work for the City happens to be close friends with my mother, and this afternoon at our house, I started talking to her about the Import Show this past weekend. Everything she pretty much had to say, was bad. Just to begin, she said the Harrisburg Police have written over 100 tickets just on Friday night. No ticket was small, most landed between the 500-800$ range. On top of that, people were pulling onto Front Street (a main street downtown that is one way), drag racing the opposite way against traffic. An outrageous amount of tickets were handed out for wreckless driving as well. Police confiscated enough beer from Minor's and people at the Farm Show to fill a full size Ryder Rental truck. Police also confiscated over 50 bottles of Nitrous straight from Cars. She wasn't quite sure on how many arrests were made etc, but she was quite certain that there won't be another Import Show to that effect ever again.

If I was the cop I would've waited too. Imagine the odds of someone doing something stupid when there are 25+ modified imports sitting in a parking lot. Hmmmmm. :rolleyes: :D

That sucks about Carlisle though, I heard they had some pretty good shows go down in the past.

Sucks.. but I heard the show was horrible. A girl I know wound up leaving to come home to go to the show at ATCO this weekend cause the judge ticked her off so badly.

She has a supercharged millenia with a full kit and custom paint... he thought it was stock. 10 grand into the motor and more into the body and he said it was stock.......

Maybe he was a judge for a pie eating contest or something other than cars?! WTF, that's just wrong.

Well we all know about the fiasco last year...........drunk in public..........public oral sex blah blah blah. So the event was banned from Carlisle Fair Grounds this year. So the spot was a town over in Harrisburgh you say?

I got one report back that the event wont be held there anymore either.....seems every1 got rowdy over the weekend. This is the 2nd one.

I think it all went out with a bang when i drunk girl jumped into her BF's car, did a burnout , tried to run him over for some reason but instead crashed into a hotel.

Good times fukwads!
