Has anyone been to this before? I'm thinking about going, since it's only a few hours away, but I'm curious if there's much of a turn out. Any thoughts?

We go pretty much every year. It's no where near as big as the fall show that Mid-America puts on but still a lot of good stuff. They usually have a dyno, exhaust installations, for sale area, show area, and a lot of the aftermarket vendors are there. We're only about 90 minutes away and it's worth the time to us. I don't know if we would drive more than a couple of hours unless you tie it in with a weekend getaway at Cocoa Beach (they are right there) or maybe Orlando.

I'll be there. I don't recall going to a spring affair but their fall gathering is a blast.

I don't ever recall a Spring Festival before, the fall annual gathering is more well known. However, if there's a car show there, there will be lots of vette people and some vendors. What I thought was weird is they have this performance garage with several nice lifts, but they only promote they do C5 exhaust installs, appointment only. Seems strange to me, why limit work only to one generation?

I was there yesterday and they were talking about their expansion into becoming a retailer for all Chevy parts. They expanded their warehouses so I had to go to one next door to pickup a CD case then down the street to another warehouse for the Corsa system.

That looks good, I'm looking for things to do, I'm going to Florida on the 7th for 9 days, staying at my brothers house about an hour away.
