I didn't see a thread about it so now seemed like a good time to ask. Who's going this weekend? As a seller and/or as a buyer?

I will be going as a buyer. I'll have my S10 on the track in the show.

Yeah, last I heard it was a crapshoot. Can anyone who has gone in recent years chime in?

I've gone to every one for the past 5 years. There's good stuff but it's hidden among a lot of junk. Got to scan every table. I go for third gen and small block stuff. A few of my deals recently there have been $25 recaro seats, $30 camel hump heads in good usable shape, $20 5 speed Camaro console with a clock, and countless delco radios for $5 a piece. It all depends on what your looking for when you go whether it's "worth it" or not

If you're looking for used stuffed animals for the kids or a multi-colored, spinning wind chime - it's the place to be. There was a guy at the spring show selling used sneakers, I stocked up. :nod:

I was hoping to take a day off of work and go down to be in the car show portion of it, but since I have no transmission in the car I won't be going.

This is 100% correct. I've been there a few time over the last few years and all I got was sunburn and sausage n pepper sandwich. Nothing better then eating a sandwich at the 1/8th mile lol

There is still good stuff, you have to be willing to look. I got a fast 90 for $200 last year, a corbeau seat for $20, Magnesium c5 wheels with tires for $300, previous year got an arb winch bumper for my buddies fj cruiser for $250...there are decent stuff if your willing to deal with the drunken party people, and sift thru the junk.

very very hit or miss though ... i mean we took bicycles with us and rode around to cover more area faster.

but my opinion/feeling is alota the good **** gets sold on CL and FB and then whats left often ends up there.

Was gonna buy them and flip them but the thought of going to get my truck which was all the way by the circle track and coming back was brutal so I called my boy who was already by his truck to get them lol they were worth about 250 as is probably 400 refinished
