They park you. I went last year and a lot of Vettes were there early lined up around the corner waiting to get in

Thanks. What I mean is... is there a good spectator parking area. I don't have a car to show.

Thanks for posting this. I forgot this was still happening.

Back in the day, I would go to this show and the line for entry would go all around the street that goes around old town. Quite impressive the number of cars that would show up.

I have not gone in a couple years since the last one I attended the line for entry was pretty short and walking through the cars that came only took a few minutes. I was pretty bummed out. Hopefully, attendance will come back this year. Please post pictures!

When it used to be packed they would park you just to the west on the North side of 192 and shuttle you over, but it got to be pretty small years ago and you can park in the lot to the SE of Old Town I believe

One of the Corvette Clubs is meeting in the rest area off I-4

Meetup at the Rest Area in the eastbound lane of I-4 just past the Auburndale Exit #44. Meetup at 8:00 a.m. and leave out around 8:30. Should arrive in Old town right around 9.
