I would usually spend one day at the show, and that was with splitting time between finding parts at the flea market in support of my MGB restoration, and viewing the replicars on display. I would usually start when it opened and finish when my "dogs" were pooped around 5:00pm or so. If it's a good day weather-wise, you can count on there being a nice turn-out of cars on display. All sorts of car clubs and individual owners showing their pride and joy throughout the weekend. Let your schedule determine what day to attend unless you are interested in the car raffle which happens on Sunday (must be in attendance to win). 12hrs seems like an awful long time to be on the road in one day, especially after walking the show all day. As I said before, since you are traveling in from some distance, Lancaster and Hershey are both within 30-50 miles of Carlisle and could prove to be popular if you brought someone of the female persuasion along with you for an extended weekend. Carlisle is a nice town in the City Center with Dickinson College being right there. I'm not too sure about accommodation in the town, but I'm sure you could find something on the internet, especially if you were to travel on Friday evening, spend the night in Hershey (if Carlisle is full), and then drive the 30-some miles to Carlisle in the morning for the show. Well, that's my $.02.
