We (me and the Missus) Have been loads!! Absolutly fantastic, make sure you Take a torch, it doesn't get light till about 7.30, and depending what you are into, American cars or Vw's/ Porsches, make sure you get to that area first... Don't get side tracked by the Cars for sale, they keep flooding in till about 10-10.30, then they start heading home by 11... But once you(if you!!) make it round the parts, you can usually get to see a lot of the cars... Its all pretty much over by 1, kind of a shame realy as you could easily spend a day thare. Get there Early, like the others said, it starts at 5, but the Queues are horrendous!! If you are coming up the intersate From the Direction of Ontario, get off at Garey Ave. and make your way past the NHRA Museum, its quicker!! Wear comfy shoes and a Hat, it gets Friggin hot!! But most of all enjoy. and remember, they take the stuff there to sell it, haggle the life out of them, once they hear your British they start Knocking the price down themselves, don't do what I usualy do and walk away, only to decide that I do actualy want it and have to go searching for it again!! After your done make your way round the corner and take in the NHRA Museum, It always leaves me stunned to be in such Historic company...

I regularly visit California (Family live over there) and its quite an odd thing - 5am isn't that early for them, its like us lot meeting up at 8am. They seem to work a few hours ahead of us.

5am isnt early if you want the bargains
in the UK a lot of markets start at 2.30am and by 6am the buyers have all gone home
