Great to have you joining us, Andy...you are certainly overdue!

First and foremeost, wear your most comfortable shows, cuz you are going to do some walking. Others are right; one day simply is not enough but of course, better than nothing.

550+ prime cars filling 400k square feet makes for a lot to see, and that doesn't even cover the seminars and presentations, 20+ unveilings, the live music, and jawing with friends.

Sounds like my kind of party! 12 ounce curls with snacks haha and a building full of awesome cars. I’ll definitely stop by to introduce myself. I’ve been on this site since 2000, but haven’t met many members. I met a few at SCR 1,2 and 20.

Many thanks to everyone else that recommended Sunday instead. I’ll plan on that as I like to get pictures and videos at each show I go to.

The best show I’ve been to so far is Chryslers at Carlisle. I walked 8 miles and saw about half of it. Rod run in pigeon forge would be the next best. Been several times to that. I usually walk about 10 miles there to see most of it.

I've gone as a spectator about 10 times. Always run down and back same day... 5hr drive down, 8 hours of walking the show, 5hr drive home.

This year will be my first time having a car there.

I have gone the past 4-5 years and its pretty much tradition for me now. Its a 6-7 hour drive, but its about the closest thing to me thats this big of a car event. I have sold items and brought them there to exchange. Usually stuff thats expensive to ship or large. I have met quite a few Yenko site members. Always a decent variety of cars. Nice to have my truck if I want to go someplace but usually I use Uber to get around. Theres alot of good places to eat nearby!! Local Hotdog stands or Pizza is what I try to do. I usually stay at Double Tree and walk across the street.
I will stop by the Dykstra Parts booth and say hi

Thanks for the info everyone. I'm thinking to book my flights were I can get time in both days. Looks like the hotel shuttle will take me where I need to go so no need for a rental car. I just have to figure out what to do with my luggage until check-in at the hotel.

Definitely looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing the show! The A12 display should give me some inspiration to start working on my 69 Super Bee.

I usually get there several hours early. Each time they just check me in. Hopefully that might work for you....Joe

Most hotels I have stayed in will keep your luggage behind the desk or in a room for you for a short period of time for a nominal tip. Worth a phone call to ask the question at your hotel.
