Was only my second trip. Last was 2019 just before the Covid lockdowns. Seemed like less cars and less vendors. Booked my hotel only a couple days before and thought it would be almost impossible to get a room, but no problem. Was there Wed/Thurs. Wed was hot for a Canuck. Spent about 11 hrs walking those two days. Would get there just after it opened and was surprised to see lots of booths/stalls still “closed”. Just don’t understand why you would go to the trouble/expense to get a booth and not be open when the event opens. Even at 9:00 there were a few still “closed”.
In the end, I’m glad I went. Talked to a few of the vendors. All great folks. Got what I was looking for (wide five rims/hubs) on the first day by 8:30 which was a bonus because of the heat. Will keep going as long as I can.
