Intrest in Ecklers
Last year, I went to ecklers Saturday afternoon(1:30 ish), and was told that I missed the "good stuff".
When do most people start showing up?
Is this REALLY worth scheduling a friday off for?
How many of the Central Fla crew are going, and when you you plan to go?

If you are talking about the scratch and dent section you need to beat the eckler employees. they get first crack. I always get there early but the past couple years they have really gone down in items. I'll probably go just to see some friends.

Do you mean parts ? If so, the "swap area" there is usually pretty small. I go on Saturday, and usually arrive around 11.

I was there last year on Saturday morning, but don't know what you are referring as to the "good stuff." Anyways, I'll be there hopefully early. Maybe we can cruise together all of us from the Orlando area?

Gimme a PM as it gets closer.. we may cruise over together..
(There is a VERY LARGE show at the Convention Center that may not be dismantled by then, hence I may get locked into work, but I'm working on avoiding that
)
Dixie crossroads is always good

I've been every year since i've owned my vette (6+ years now). I like their event Tshirts
the swap meets are usually pretty large, as is the show. tons of vendors too!
Depending on a possible offroading trip i may be doing Sat, I might go Friday instead. It's still up in the air though.
I WILL be going though
I NEVER miss this one.
