We crested 800 entries on the 14th, so it should be another great show!

will all the different makes be grouped together again, or can an outsider get parked with the rest of his group? it would still be a GM

So is it even worth registering at this point?

We park similar models (F-body, Corvette, etc) together to help out in voting, but you can park a group of different models together IF YOU ARRIVE TOGETHER! We have a group gathering area just past the registration area outside the park, and once you assemble your group, proceed inside the park together and let one of the parking crew attendants you want to park a group together and how many are in your group so we can get you to the right area without blocking up traffic (keep in mind we had to park 650 cars in 3 hours last year, so every little bit of information helps).

I'm assuming you are refering to the fact we are past the "free 500" mark. The cost of pre-registering prior to the show vs. registering the day of show is the same.
The advantage of pre-registering is having your packet and information already completed in advance, versus doing it the day of show (takes a little longer the day of the show depending on the # of day of show registrants - 47 last year).

I'm a little giddy

First time since 2006 I'll have the Nova there so I can't get ragged on about owning 3 GM vehicles and not having one of them in the show. Sad part is street/strip cars normally don't win shows....

I don't expect mine to win anything, its my DD. So whenever it does I love it. I go to the shows for the fun, and participate just because its a little different. Yet I still can't wait for this! I'll be heading down tomorrow.. gotta do a quick clean on the car before leaving (waxxed and detailed last weekend so I could do a quick wash and dry this weekend lol), then the final wipedown in the AM saturday

Looking forward to seeing you guys there! I'll be hunting for the nova and SOM car

Oh yeah...One more thing- We die-hards (read:'Tech fools and associates) need to gather somewhere before the entrance to the park, just past registration if we intend to be parked together. There is a parking area just to the right after you cross the small bridge coming into the park- I'm sure most of you will recognize me, but in case you are expecting the T/A, don't. You will be looking for this...
