Depends on the weather, but I may go. It's about 2.5 hours from me, how about you?

4 hours. Got a room in Hershey for Friday night. The event is as much a social thing as it is a
hunt for parts. Hope you can make it, if you've never been I think you'll be impressed by it's size.

I went a few years back. There are some deals to be had. The car corral is pretty impressive as well. Lots of P-car stuff to look at.

Drove there last year -- yes in the rain -- from Long Island (yes we left very early in the AM.)

Arrived there and there were literally RIVERS in the parking lot. Moseyed around the place and even said hello to the CDOC guyz (I had bought ATE super blue off them via the net). The rain never let up and it was friggin' cold too. For me - and it being my first time there - I didn't see anything that piqued my interest enuf to want to go there again. Sorry.

The weather was HORRIBLE last year. I think half the vendors threw in the
towel and didn't show up and the ones that were there didn't put out their
best stuff. This year the weather sounds better with only a few showers possible. Hopefully the turnout will be better.
