I usually go in the Spring and in the Fall. It's not as big as it was in the 80's, but there are usually some nice cars there. I go to get the 'show special' deals and pick up stuff that I don't want to ship. Sometimes, some good stuff can be found in the swap section. If nothing else, going to shows like this motivates me to keep plugging away at my project. I would definitely recommend that you go and check it out. It's at a new facility this time..don't know what to expect.

I usually attend in the Spring, but I'm planning on going this Fall. I haven't been to the new facilities, but it sounds impressive. The vendor / swap meet areas are pretty good - make out a shopping list beforehand. Never been present for the auction, so I can't comment on that.

Why do you say that? It's not Carlisle but it's not a bad Corvette show. I wouldn't drive from Pennsylvania for it, but I wouldn't drive from Penn. to see Elvis. If you're within a few hours, it's worth the trip.

New place so we'll see. I have always enjoyed going, but it has gotten less good in the past few years. Another example of Ebay killed the swap meet.
