AirBnB is the way to go. My suggestion; drive up on Friday. Best to be there early (7:30) especially if you're looking for parts. Leave by 1:00 and you'll be home for dinner.

Last year I went up Friday and stayed overnight. Can't remember the hotel but any major hotel within a 20 minute drive will have a few Porsches in the parking lot, so you won't be alone. Most people who stay over spend Friday night in a hotel, get to the swap early and leave in the early afternoon on Saturday.

Ditto. That's what we do. Been there last two years. Last year was great as weather was beautiful. Tons of people, lots of stuff, and got very warm.
Forecast as of today for next Saturday is sunny and 66 so expecting another great one with big turnout and tons of p-cars. We booked a hotel about 5-6 miles away. No problem getting a room and it's a nice drive to the meet in the fresh morning air (coming from NY especially), to be there early to get a good parking spot, and have first dibs on all the goods!

I am not really after any parts, just want to check it out and have a reason for a drive. So the idea of the best parts being picked over is not an issue for me.
Looking forward to it.

I actually may stay over Saturday night and check out the autocross on Sunday. Not participating in the autocross, I just may not be up for the drive back, long day. I'm considering one of the better hotels in Harrisburg. Better selection than Hershey and actually cheaper than the comfort Inn in Hershey. Sheraton, Crown Plaza, Hilton.

Vince Lombardi NJ Turnpike rest stop 7am Saturday April 16th. All model years meeting up.

Looks to be a good weather weekend. I'm travelling from Central CT if anyone is interested. Joe, are you bringing your road bike?

No road bike Bart...just started PT again for the hip...lots of issues still, 12 months out. Anyway...look for the orange cones to direct you to rennlist reserved parking, then look for the name tag "kiosk", and take a name tag.

Hope to see many of you Saturday.

You even have Rennlist reserved toilet paper. Thank you. It's a long drive.

Guys, I'm going to leave on the earlier side on Saturday. The weather will be very nice and the event will be packed. If we were to leave at 7, we won't be there 'till 10 and it will take forever to get through the gate. So I'm going to try to be at the rest area by 6AM. Only trouble with that time is that the gas station doesn't actually open until 7 so don't count on getting fuel there.

Just called. Gas there is 24/7. I already have to leave my house at zero dark thirty to get there around 630am to gas up and get coffee and be ready by 7am departure. Plus other forums already planning for the 7am time.
