Almost an 8 hour drive for me.
Not sure I can do it on such short notice. But will surely give it some thought
Been wanting to see this show for several years and when we lived in KY, was out of the question. Now in southern AZ makes all the west coast shows now possible It’s 1 1/2 hour closer drive than or traditional Woodley Park. There will be cars for sale.

How does the display/swap area compare to Woodley Park...acreage wise?

How does the display/swap area compare to Woodley Park...acreage wise? The entire facility is 42 TIMES the size of Woodley. 1.5 acres vs 63 acres The swap and show areas we are using for this event will be plenty for us. But not too far away as to isolate. Bottom line: plenty of room. The show cars will be parked in marked parking spaces every other car. EZ ups are ok at this facility

How does the display/swap area compare to Woodley Park...acreage wise? The entire facility is 4.2 TIMES the size of Woodley. 15 acres vs 63 acres do you have that correct, Steve?  250' x 250' ~1.5 acres

Maybe I need to clean that bug off my computer screen. It’s plenty big for us

The downside to Irwindale = No grass
The upside to Irwindale = No grass
The terrain at Woodley is nothing short of terrible (and I doubt that we do anything to help it by driving on it, some in VERY HEAVY vehicles).
By the end of October temps should be mild enough that it will be nice under the shade of an EZ-up. Whether everything will fit in the new car with seats folded down is anybody's guess... Also less dust for show cars. The Woodley October shows happen after a rainless summer with soccer players chewing up the grass.

Find a decent RV park close by we can go nighty-nite in "?" 
the drag strip is 1/8th mile
irwindale = lots of pavement VS. Woodley = lots of trees
