Lance is the son of Chip Miller, co-founder of Carlisle Events, who in the early ‘70s formed Carlisle Events with his good friend Bill Miller, Jr. (no relation). Over the decades, Carlisle Events has grown from an initial event held in 1974 to what is is today, including the world's largest largest all-Corvette Show, Corvettes at Carlisle as well as 5 collector car auctions powered by Carlisle Auctions. Corvettes at Carlisle attracts over 50,000 visitors during a four-day period with over 2,700 registered Fun Field participants and at least 5,000 Corvettes overall on-site. Lance began running the Corvette show after the passing of his father Chip from a rare disease called Amyloidosis. Lance was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1972. He literally grew up at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. To quote him, “I’ve done everything from cutting grass to garbage patrol to event management. There really is nothing in this business that I haven’t done.” Lance was raised in an automotive environment from the time he was born. In Lance’s case, Corvettes were always in the fore front, as his father, Chip, was and still is recognized as one of the foremost experts and leaders in the Corvette hobby...

Employment
After college, Lance returned to Carlisle Events for several years before venturing out on his own. He founded Web Mods, a successful web design company in Ocean City, New Jersey. When his father passed away in March of 2004, Lance returned to Carlisle Events as the Event Manager of Corvettes at Carlisle. In January 2007, Bill Miller, Jr. announced that the next generation of the two Miller families, Lance and Bill Jr’s son Bill III, were going to carry on the tradition of operating Carlisle Events at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. The two men carried the title of Senior Manager. In 2009 Lance purchased his mother’s share of Carlisle Events to become 50% partners with Bill Miller Jr.

Hobbies
In addition to his Co-Owner responsibilities, Lance serves as Vice-President of the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation and strives to help various charities throughout the year. In 2010 Lance followed through with his father’s dream of having one of his father’s beloved racing Corvettes taken back to Le Mans. The car would be reunited 50 years after achieving the first victory for a Corvette at Le Mans, John Fitch (92 years of age) also made the journey. This was an emotional time and a large accomplishment. Other hobbies include surfing, auto racing and enjoying friends.

Dream Car
“I’ve lived my father’s dream and I’m fortunate to say that my family owns my dream car; a 1960 Le Mans Corvette. It’s white and blue and has the #3 on it. You might have seen it around a time or two.”

Favorite part of working at Carlisle Events
“I love being surrounded by cars, however; over time I realized how this hobby truly hums because of the people behind the wheel. Carlisle Events is such a great place to work, we enjoy bringing a lot of people that share the same passion together and we do our best to make them all smile and want to come back year after year. As my father would often say… Life is good!”
