Thread: Car coral at Carlisle?

Tweet

I want to take my car to Carlisle to sell. What's involved in getting a spot in the coral? I've been to Carlisle more then a dozen times but never to sell something. Is there a way to get a spot in advance of me leaving for the swap meet?

I wish it was a simple solution. I talked to the Carlisle people today and was told that all the coral spots are sold out( normal situation). They have a lottery with the cancellations that they receive at the last minute. I would have to be there on Wed. morning at 7 AM to enter the lottery(draw at 8) and hope I can "win" a spot. Those that are left without a spot can be put on a waiting list. Once a vendor has sold a vehicle and turns in his spot then the recycled spot is available to the next person on the list. There's no way of knowing if you will get in or not. I'm looking at an 11-12 hour trip from Canada towing a car and leaving work an extra day and I'm not sure if I can get it into the coral or not. Could be a big waste of time and fuel for me.
