Thanks to all for the suggestions. I do have a 10 x 10 Ez-Up and tried it last night and fit perfect. We will be in Chip's Circle so stop by and say Hi.

Very nice. Be sure NOT to miss the tour of the Miller collection. Some amazing cars. And the dinner Friday night is excellent.

About the same for me. Been going since 85. I even enjoy the 1,000 mile round trip. This is a pic from the 80's a buddy took near Carlisle as he followed my 61.

Thanks Ken. Leaving the Cape Wednesday morn, staying near Scranton/Wilkes Barre on Lake Wallenpaupack. Leaving from there early Thursday and should be in my lounge chair at the Fairgrounds by Noon. I'll be in my normal spot inside Gate 3 across from the car wash area watching the cars file in. Taking one of the newer Vettes, Silver C5 or the LBR Z06.

Stop by. I'll have cold beer and cigars

The map is available inside the book, and you can enlarge the page to read it. It's pretty much the same as last year.

This will be my second year. First with my C7. Very excited for it.

I'm also bringing a 10x10 slant leg. Can I leave my car on the funfield overnight? Might bring two cars. I don't have a reserved spot missed them by a day!

If you find this car, you have a 1 in 8 chance it'll be mine! Lol

You can leave your car and your tent and chairs there, or just your tent and chairs. One piece of advice. Drop your canopy down at night or take the top off and make sure it's staked well. Don't just use the little stakes that come with it. Go to WalMart or a sports store and buy camp or tent stakes that are about 10" long, and bring a hammer. You'll need them.
And if you decide to take your car off the fairgrounds at night (we've done it every year) and return in the morning, get there as early as you possibly can. We're usually there by 6:30 a.m. After 10 a.m., even if you have your tent there, all bets are off as far as parking spaces go. So if you come a little late, you might find someone else's car parked in front of your canopy and you'll be lucky if you see the people the rest of the day. And grab some breakfast at Stolfutz's under the grandstand. They're on the far end by the restrooms. Best darn breakfast sandwiches anywhere.

By the way, that's a beautiful Vette.
