I have a buddy who would lone me his 10 X 20 car port. I don't know if it would fit in the Marauder. There are lots of pipes. If I can stuff it into the car, then I'll bring it next year. If I can't, then I'll pick up a 10 X 10 EZ Up.
I doubt whether Carlisle Events would allow you to erect a carport on the Showfield. It would probably open a big can of worms for them.
You also need to consider something that can be knocked down rather quickly. Remember back to 2010 when that freak windstorm blew through Carlisle. I tried to get out before the storm hit; but never even made it to the wash rack area when traffic back up. Nearly every tent was damaged or torn and many had tent stakes pulled out of the ground and were flapping in the wind. We were lucky because that year, our tent was in the hollow below the Car Corral. I think our tent wasn't damaged at all. Not so for others especially on the big Hill. A reoccurrence might put a carport airborne with resultant damage. The EZ-Up Canopies can be dropped in minutes so not a problem.

For all of you that have been posting and identifying pictures, Thank You. There are some of us that have not had the pleasure of meeting most of the membership. When posting a photo with no identifying information it is just another nice picture of a Marauder. When a member's name is added it strengthens the photo by identifying the individual that put a lot of hard work and effort to show there exquisite Marauder. If I posted a picture of someone's Marauder I would try to identify it by putting at least the members forum name but also real name if known. "Steven Hornaday (shornaday) 2004 Marauder" or something similar.
Again thank you for posting all of the links, videos, and pictures of the 2017 All Ford Nationals Carlisle Event. It shows the great time that all of you had and the many different shows and autos. I love them all. Thank You.
