No it does not take long to leave or go in, it is the premier show on the west and probably the east coast period. No bullshit truck raffles or sleep overs. Just a good show right next to the Queer Mary very well organized. And a lot more then Datsun's to see there. Very nice stuff and your car will do fine there. I noticed every year there is some bullshit from some one about this show yet every year it gets bigger and bigger and better and better. If your car is junk then YES its not the show for you. If your looking to hang out with a group of buddies outside the local burger joint with your primered exhaust leaking car cool, but when i go to a show I want to look at cars and trucks with some creativity.There is really nice stuff there but if this show is not for you then its not for you.
