Hugger1,
I lived about 2 miles from the fairgrounds 10 years ago. Skips was a great swap meet, in my opinion ,back then. I never had a problem finding what I needed at a reasonable price.

It has become very diluted and every year most venders are shut down by 2:00 pm.

I did pick up an LS-6 intake in great condition very cheap and a SW guage for a Shelby at a fair price. Plus ,I purchased a few old muscle car magazines that I needed.
So it still paid off.

I always enjoy the cars, Just get there early!

I will be at the show on Saturday, leaving Austin on Thursday. I hope that it is a good event, we drove to Houston, TX on Saturday for the Chevy Expo and had enough after about 20 minutes.

I've been notified that, as usual in the spring version, Gold Spinner(original) classes will be noticeably smaller than they were in fall. Custom classes will make up a larger percentage of the cars brought in.

Well 10" of Snow and 30 Degree weather kept me busy Sunday.
