Its a pretty good show. I have always brought a car, entered it (even if i didn't care about having the car judged), just so i could get a good parking space. (Remember, in NYC $65 for a full day is a bargain). I have never stayed for the formal meal, but always grabbed a burger outside. You guys should also consider visiting the Greenwich Concours this year. Some amazing cars (F and others) appear, pre-war one day, post war and exotic sports, the second day. The burgers in Reading are better than the ones in Greenwich, though. |

Hmmm, sounds like it's a possiblity,just wish I knew for sure before I drive 2 hours.Probably wouldn't be in to good of a mood if i couldn't get in. Maybe I'll do so investigating. |

I went last year but did not enter my car and parked with the rest of the "non-F" cars. Just walked over and saw the cars. No fence and no charge. I think Ken is correct in that the $65 is for entering and eating. They had a outdoor food stand behind the show area where you could purchase burgers/dogs. |

I have seen many people bring friends and family for free just to look at the cars. I believe that the $65 charge is for showing a car and the dinner afterwards. If you want to go and look at the cars it should be free, but do not hold me to that. FWIW, you can park at the Reading Country Club and wander over to the Ferrari's. All of the club members do, so I fail to see why others could not either. Since the show is not advertised to the general public and held at a private club, keeping people out is not a problem. When you first pull into the driveway of the club you will see a gravel/grass area that many people use as a parking lot. This is where we always park when bringing other non-Ferrari's. |

I'd be interested in that info too. I assumed I needed a ferrari and $65 to get in.From the pics I saw last year they had some rare ferrari's I wouldn't typically see on the street. Anybody have any clarification on spectators only? |
