If one can only drive up on Friday get there in the late afternoon, stay Saturday and blow out Sunday is this enough time to enjoy the event or should they plan more time?

Friday night is good, Saturday night is great, Sunday is quieter and some folks leave, but the awards/auction is a really good time that most attendees really enjoy. If you have to make the choice of coming for two days vs not at all, them Fri/Sat is best, but if you can push that third night, then chances are you will be happy you did.

Question for those that go to the Gathering not from GA or the surrounding states:

How many people trailer their cars that have a several hour trip not because their cars are trailer queens, they trailer them to avoid any break down issues on the road? Just wondering?

There are usually a few cars trailered there. I only live alittle over a hour away and I'd trailer my car if I had one just cause traffic sucks. One year I got sideswiped by someone that hit and ran. Etc

Damn it my clutch started slipping last week. Money is tight so I don't know if I am going to be able to make it or not. What great timing.
