A lot of Vette guys park in the same area each week (in front of the Goodwill trailer).
The amount of Corvettes that show up varies from week to week.

Cars start arriving as early as 4pm, but things start hopping after 7
They chase everyone out at 10.

Exactly, and back in Feb. his 10 yr old son told someone to move or he'd "tell his daddy" ... that someone told the kid to **** off. So, I guess the last time we were up there he made the officials tell us to move

The Supra guy is in a ricer club, and they pay to park there on a montly basis. So, from what I've been told by management there, is that the Corvettes are limited to 4 spaces on each side of the aisle.
Sometimes we manage to get a few extra. We are also allowed to park in adjacent rows if we like. It's not like the old days when we were able to use the entire row for Vettes
All cars are required to pay a $1 fee, but the ricers pay on a montly basis, and have the reserved spaces. You can't really blame anyone for that. If they're willing to pay whether they show up or not, it's good for mgmt.
We could have done the same thing but most guys are pissed that we even have to pay $1 to display our cars (myself included). They should charge the spectators that look at our cars. Without us, there would be no show. I don't park there any longer based on this principle.
Also, the guy that runs the place is a real dik-head.

We cannot reserve the spaces in this aisle. Sometimes we can get a few more than usual, but the ricers pay a monthly fee for their spaces.
So forget the orange cones.... trust me. I've been going to the Tower Shops for about 6 years. If you create a problem, you will have the Davie Police there very quickly.
You can reserve spaces in a different aisle, but they don't allow space-saving after about 7 o'clock.

I know this has been mentioned in the past, but has anyone found another site other than the TS for Friday nights?

Wth?
I had to ask this when I read this post; are you really complaining 
about paying $1? 
I find this to be extremely cheap to participate; as well as being a spectator to see everyone elses rides. I'll gladly support this event with just a $1 since it's seems to be the biggest car show in South Florida. I'm sure someone is spending alot of time and money to run this event; thank god weekly. I'm hoping to be there this Friday as well, with my dollar in hand. Hope to see all my fellow vette brothers there too.
