queues can get very long so you want to get there early.
IIRC there are about 3,000 cars on display and over 10,000 visitors so its a pretty big show.

It should be on for 2 days as there's not enough time to see it all properly in one day and watch track action :-(

After last years parking organising, I wouldn't go again. Over two hours just to get out the car park. They were happy to have plenty of staff sorting the parking going in so they could get your money but there was one guy waving traffic out if the car park towards the end of the day. Just a joke.

Caged, two bucket seats and Harnesses for the interior now
I'm on a stand in the main paddock now after Japfest phoned me this afternoon
