There are a fair amount of trailored cars, It may be easier to leave the trailor at a hotel if yo are stayin over, but there is plenty of parking at the fair grounds for trailors.

There is a big area dedicated to vendors selling parts, thats the good news. The bad news is you have to rent out a space if you are going to sell any quantity. See the Carlisle web site for more info on that. We might get away with an odd part or two at the NATO tent but alot of parts is going to get us some unwanted attention and we just don't have the room either. People have been know to run "trunk" sales.

Nate trailers every year and he doesn't have a problem. He just usually parks the trailer at the motel and nothing in ever said. Ditto what Pete says on the parts deal. You might want to consider the closed trunk parts allocation since it may be difficult to venture back and forth between the Fun Field and the Vendor Area.

Yeah I was wondering about a closed trunk deal, looks like I maybe trailering my car and park at a hotel, I thought maybe I would post up a list here for some of the parts I got and just bring them down with me for the guy's who maybe interested, also question on trailering my car, I'm planning for a car trailer but not quite sure if I can get it yet, but if I rented a tow dolly would that bother the tranny and rearend???

On tow dollies, I believe Ford recommends disconnecting the drive shaft if traveling more than 50 miles. Check the owner's manual. I always did that when I dollied the SVO. Just unbolted it in the rear and tied it up

Owners manual says no more than 50 miles, not fast either. Pull the shaft and sling it up with bungee's or something, that's how I got my 2nd one home on a dolly.
Sold it Sad*
