Thinking about attending as a spectator. This would be my first time going. How many show cars are expected?
Is Friday very busy or is it best to go Saturday/Sunday or both.

Thanks
Glenn

Hundreds.

At least 5 years ago there were.

I went last year for the first time. Just being honest, I was really disappointed. I attended on Sunday. There weren't many cars. The museum on the other hand is really cool. Don was there signing autographs. It's worth going for that.

In my past experience, almost half the people leave late Saturday.

...although I haven't been since the "Horse Park" FMA show the next weekend started sapping participants a few years ago.

Yes, Don is generally very approachable, even in a non-organized setting.

It also poured on Saturday.
Usually about 250 on Saturday
125 on Sunday for judging.
