Carlisle Performance & Style ’12

May 18th, 2012 by Elusive Media

I’m always down for a good drive, and this year’s Carlisle P&S was well worth it with the forecast finally in Performance & Style’s favor. With over 1,500 cars and close to 20,000 enthusiast, P&S is one of those shows where has something for everyone;all makes and models, from the extreme to the lightly modded rides. To kept the crowed entertained all weekend long, Starboyz returned with the stunt and (new)tire smoke show, AutoX/Drift Track presented by NICO, Bikini Contest and lastly the burnout contest are always a good way to break up the car browsing and vendor shopping. The past few years the show has had bad luck with cold and rainy weather, I’m happy to see we’ve finally broken that streak and already looking forward to next year!

Carlisle Performance & Style ’11

May 19th, 2011 by Elusive Media

Yet another year with rain in the forecast. Despite the chance of rain(60%), Carlisle is one of those shows i like to attend either way, because its ALWAYS a fun time.  This year Carlisle had local drifter Vaughn Gitten, Jr.  Even though there wasn’t much room on their autox course, Vaughn put on one hell of a show, and for few lucky spectators, a ride-a-long in the mustang drift car. Note: if your looking to see more drifting check out Vaughn and the other drifting at Wall, NJ for FormulaD! – June 17-18th.

This year the fans of Starboyz got to see something a bit different this year. Starboyz and Vaughn Gitten, Jr, put on a show together, between rolling burnouts, drifting around the motorcycles, or doing stunts side by side. With the extra room, Starboyz could definitely show off some more difficult stunts.

The burnout contest is always a crowd-pleaser, espically with no wind, the smoke engulfed the crowed. An import almost took the win, until American muscle stepped in and the crowd went wild. Compared to last years Bikini contest, of 3 girls(rain, 40f,high winds), this year, even though it wasn’t the best weather, it was warm enough to get some 9 brave good looking girls. Home town girl, Amanda Lawson takes Miss Carlisle P&S 2011.

Despite the passing showers in the morning, the below average temperatures,  and high winds Carlisle still pushed an impressive 1800 cars.  The key to this years P&S was to keep warm and one way to do this,  stay busy!  Autox, drifting, open dyno, drag & bass, along wit the 1500+ cars kept you quite busy to say the least. If you wanted to escape the wind, you have plenty of action going on inside the buildings. Playboy Model Jesse Lyne for autographs & pictures, RIX Magazine  Model Search, Street Glow Neon Contest, and many tricked out high end cars for your viewing pleasure. Iif you wanted to see Freestyle Motocross you will have to wait til next year as they were forced to cancel due to mother natures wrath (ie highwinds!).

(stig?)

Later in the evening, were were greeted by heavy cloud cover and yes, still the high winds!(it never did let up), but this did not stop the action.  The Grandstands were overflowing for the burnout competition, 99.3 KISS FM Rap Battle, Loudest Exhaust & Loudest Audio Competition, followed by lowest car & lowest truck limbo. There was a short break for Round 3 “Mystery” Club Olympics challenge, where the contestants were surprised by singing a song(picked at random) Karaoke style.  The team dressed at Ninja Turtles come away with the trophy,  lucky for them each team was apparently  tone deaf, so Round 3 was a draw in my books.  Moments before the start of this years Bikini contest, we were handed a rain shower, which sent off  many of the spectator to the warmth of their cars. While we  still had four brave girls in the bikini contest, this had to be the quickest contest i have experienced, but was needed!  Just for them getting up on stage, they all should of won something!

This was the first year for Carlisle Performance and Style and they sure did put on a great event with over 1600 cars showing. The days were full of celebrates (Unique Whips, DJ Lady Tribe, Playboy Playmate Destiny Davis, +…), contests (bikini, hot wing eating, burnout, + …), and shows (car, motocross +…). Good news for people that couldn’t make it this time around is this won’t be a one time deal show; Carlisle already has next years planned for May 4-6, 2007! We plan to be there and hopefully you will also!
