I'm heading down with two other buddies in Corvettes. Haven't been to the Expo in a few years so I'm looking forward to it.

If half of the show is located on an uphill trek to another parking lot, count me out. My old legs just won't take it.

I have attended the Expo for as long as I can remember. To bad that the Coopers no longer own the Expo. Hopefully the new owner is a quick leaner!

I'm behind the times. Didn't realize the Coopers no longer have it. Ahh well, I expect it will still be fun. For what it's worth - I don't know their reasoning for moving the parking to the other lot, but the last time I went the Leconte parking was way over crowded. If the car count keeps growing, they gotta make room somehow I guess. From the map I've seen on the website, it looks like parking is in the new location again.

Last year was a huge disappointment and I swore I won't go back. Fast forward a year, cabin fever has set in and the wife and I are going.

That's at least 2 of us old fans of this event. Hopefully the new owners of the event will get a clue.

I’ve been going to the expo for 30-40 years BUT this is my last one. The layout is terrible. I won’t be back, coupled with the fact I lost the transmission on my 98 on the way home. Lost 3-4 gear (A4) had to drive the last 25 miles in 2nd gear…🤣😂🤣😂

Weather was the best thing about the show. This is nothing compared to the old days at Chilhowie Park.

First time back in a few years. I think it was a pretty good show. I have no complaints about the layout other than making it looks like there's less cars there because they're so spread out. But they did need room to grow so I get it. My group rolled in on Thursday and hit the Dragon about an hour before the lineup. Much more fun that way and got to watch all the cars roll in.
