CARLISLE, PA – What draws guests to Carlisle each May for the annual Import & Performance Nationals car show?  Could it be the international gallery of cars on the Showfield?  What about the variety of automotive activities, including drifting and autocross?  How about the social element of hanging out with car clubs and enthusiasts who are passionate about the hobby?  Or…maybe it’s the special guests and seminars that offer a little education and a whole lot of fun along the way. 
This year’s event, May 10-11 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, has all that and JUST ANNOUNCED, the additions of car designer, OEM consultant, and author Steve Saxty as well as social media influencers, Ricky and Krystal Licerio from Modded Motors.
 
Each guest is making their first visit to the Carlisle Import & Performance Nationals, with Saxty on-site both days, while the Modded Motors team is at Carlisle on Saturday, May 11 only.  Saxty worked as a designer for Ford in the United Kingdom and later in various roles for BMW, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Nissan, Volkswagen, and more. He eventually turned his focus to writing.  Not only will Steve be at Carlisle to give a presentation at the BMW-CCA tent each day at 2 PM, but he’ll also have books available for sale and will happily autograph them for guests too.

On Saturday, as crowds and cars roll onto the Showfield, so will Ricky and Krystal Licerio, a.k.a. Modded Motors on the socials.  Their channels primarily focus on the Alfa Romeos but they have other automotive content and passions too.  The majority of their content is based on the Giulia and Stelvio where they critique the vehicles, modify them and just generally have fun with them!  During their time at Carlisle, they’ll be guests of the Central PA Alfa Romeo Club and will likely spend the majority of their time in that area of the Showfield.  If they aren’t with the Alfas, they’ll be out roaming the event and filming content.

Meet Steve Saxty and Modded Motors at the 2024 Carlisle Import & Performance Nationals, all while enjoying a variety of featured vehicle displays, an eclectic mix of show cars, activities, and more.  Showfield registration is available online through May 6, then in person starting May 10.  In addition, discounted spectator admission tickets are available online, with military discounts available in person for the ID holder only.  Gates open at 7 AM daily and kids 12 and under are free.  Learn more about all that the event has to offer at CarlisleEvents.com or call 717-243-7855!
