Take good shoes...BKH

...there is a restaurant in the towers at the start finish line...that usually is just open to "members"
...but ONLY at the( spring ) auto fair...they open it up to the public...and there is a buffet about 30' long for about $9-$10 bucks, all you can eat...and it looks over the track
...go to the elevators in the lobby ...I think it is the 4th floor...You will not regret it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Now what about good shoes? is the pavement all broken up and uneven like Carlyle?/ Ater 3 days of pounding the pavement
at Carlyle my feet almost fell off wearing runnig shoes, never again.I could take it a few years ago but now old age is setting in http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Most of the area is gravel and dirt, some asphalt, it is almost double the size of Carlisle.

I went to this event a few years ago, and didn't have much luck finding anything. I am primarily interested in 2nd Gen Camaro stuff, and rarely find anything anywhere. There were a lot of nice cars, and parts for everyhting except what I was looking for.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

PJ......Let me warn you that, when and if youre "out there" amongst the ACRES of swap meet, the public portapotties are few and far between. MAny vendors rent them and keep them locked.....

[P.J.]

Thanks for all your help
I realy like lookin at all the nuts and bolts in the place.
My friends tell me In f--in nuts waisting my time. "Just buy new ones" well they dont understand the pleasure in finding a special part lIKE the 3972619 accelerator bracket
for my chevelle. Or the original 6 P bolts that screw on the kick panels on my chevelle. I know that original parts are hard to come by however there are still lots of folks that hate computers and come down to the swap meet to sell all the parts that have been in their garage for the last 25 years. And as a bonous all the sweet things that the good Lord gave eyes to see.If you are down there and want to get together for a PINT let me know and I will give you my cell phone number.
Cant wait
