Default World of Wheels questions

This will be my first year that I will have the car in the wow, and after reading some of their rules I have a few questions for the people that had this experience already.

1) One of the rules says that you need something under the car, in the event that the car leaks any fluids that it will not drip on the floor. (so would a drop cloth be the thing to use?)

2) What times do you usually need to get their before they open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

3) Where do you park your daily driver on each of those days? Anywhere different then the general public? Do you have to pay for each day?

4) I read that some of you had coolers with beer in and etc. Is that suppose to be a hush hush thing. Or can I bring some **** to tide me over each day?

I am sure I have more questions but this is all I can think of for right now.

I know they give you a special pass for your DDs that ables you to park in the south parking lot next to the trailers. As for having something under the car, Im not sure of but I know if you have more then a 1/8th tank they wont let you in.

you will need a drip pan or something under the trans and oil pan. A drop cloth didn't cut it when I did it a couple years back with a bunch of my friends. I used one of these pans..
http://www.worldclassmotoring.com/pr...ID=68&siteID=1
under my car but I could have gotten away with a small pan under the trans pan and engine.

Be Sure to have less than 1/8 a tank in the car. they are really pickey about that crap. if you don't they will make you wait and burn off the fuel or you might get lucky because they do have people that go around and pump the gas fom the tank until its low enough but its not easy to do on f-bodies because F-bodes have Anti-Siphon junk somehow in them and one guy in my group in an Ls1 had to drive his car around to get the tank low enough.

you can get into the show up I believe 1/2 hour earlier or mabey an hour before the show actually starts or just show up whenever you want. heck you don't have to be there the whole time the show is on.

When I was going we had parking passes to park out where the trailers and such were parked and Don't take a leak in those parking lots.. (they have cameras.. lol.. my buddy almost got a tricket for it in that lot. haha!!! )

Coolers full of beer.. well I know all kinds of guys that brought alcohol and didnt' get in trouble just bring a can cozy or something to pour the stuff into. They sell alcohol at the ehow anyhow. Also just a tip bring you own food and lots of it unless that is woul like spending $10 for a single hot dog and can of pop. bring charis, magazines, playstation.. whatever you can to pass the time because you will have a lot of it.

I will be bringing a cooler in to have for the weekend with beer, etc. As long as you keep the cooler kind of hidden (even with a towel over it) they don't mind.

Last year I bought a cheap disposable foil cooking pan and stuck it under my car, they didn't have a problem with that.


About our display....

Do we have an LS1Tech banner or anything? I am bringing a framed spec sheet with the LS1Tech.com logo printed on top just for the hell of it. Are we roping the cars off or anything?
