Most vendors don’t open up until 8 or so but the earlier you get there the better chance of getting a good parking spot.

I have not missed a year since 88-Best advice-Ham and cheese sandwich at the food court. Then after that you can check out some Corvettes and parts if you feel like it. Kidding aside, I hear people talking about how it has gone downhill and it's not what it used to be. While that may be partially true it still is the best corvette only event around

If you are NOT driving a Vette, the neighbors offer parking in their yards for $5 or so. You will need a hat all so. Do you already have a hotel room? If not, you will have problem. Good luck and enjoy.

Get there early, enjoy breakfast, stroll the parts section, stroll the cars for sale section, sit in on a tech session, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Stay hydrated. Have fun.

Order your ticket package before you go. That allows you and a guest entry and parking inside the gates if you drive your Corvette. Also saves money over buying daily entry.
