Highly recommend it. Attached a couple of pics from last year's event (different location). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION - STILL TIME TO ENTER!!

I will be coming back into town at about 10am on Sunday. If I bring the 308... can I park with the rest of the "family" or do I have to be banished to the lot??
Well I can't speak for the organizers, but just tell you how it was last year: Some cars were way late, but still allowed in to park with the rest as they did have some space left. Not sure whether they were allowed to the concours, probably not.
thats fine.... I just dont want her to be crushed between a Suburban and an Expedition in the general lot!
The cars that were allowed in late last year, were charged an additional fee for late registration. This year, I don't know if I'll make it or not. I have a consultation with the surgeon on Wed., and I don't know when he'll want to schedule me for surgery. If I can make it to the event, I hope I won't be penalized for late registration.
