Vehicle Security at Carlisle?

[David B.]

I have been going to Corvettes at Carlisle for over 20 years. It always seems like a great crowd who are very respectful of other's cars. I have left my '69 in the "Corvette Parking" areas without any problems, but never left a car overnight in the display areas. I am considering taking my '57 next year. But, frankly, I don't know if I have the guts let it out of my sight.
Questions:
1. What are others experiences with leaving cars overnight in display tents, etc.?
2. Do you put covers on them at night and/or take any other precautions?
3. Somebody claimed this year that their car was damaged by paint remover overnight (red mid-year convertible). Anybody know if this was found to be a bogus claim, or determined to be verified? (I saw the damaged car, but the circumstances seemed odd to me.)
4. Any other suggestions are welcomed.
Again, I have the greatest respect for the attendees and the show management, just wouldn't want to do anything stupid.
Thanks,
Dave

Security guards walk around all night long. Great security at the show. Never had anything touched at night. John

I assume you will trailer it to the fairgrounds. If you leave it there a cover would be a good idea. You could always drive it back and forth to the hotel. I think it would be safer at the fairgrounds unless you put it in the tariler at night.

I left my 1980 in the car corral for three days last year and had no problems.
