Friday and Saturday were beautiful, if a little warm for a couple of new england guys.
We had alot of fun!
Positives ( Please note my opinions are subjective, and are easily refutable)
The Museum, I do not anticipate finding anything as comprehensive and immaculate. One can get as close as possible to most bikes and cars, although no touching. This was enjoyable for me when checking out design features and race bike fabrication parts.
The grounds are immense, and while I am no judge, the track appears well laid out, with many good spectator viewing and camping spots.
I also enjoyed the camaraderie of the folks, both staff and attendees. It was fun to be around so many folks who shared my enthusiasm and joy in being there.
Negatives
Admittance and parking were at times a long and frustrating process. Jim French arrived with a trailer and his turbo midday Saturday, and had such a tough time finding a spot, he didn't stay.i was looking forward to meeting him!
Prices for the swap meet appeared generally too high to me, but perhaps I'm a cheap bastard.
I was surprised there weren't more vendors for new accessories.
I was disappointed that non bidders were excluded fr9m the auction.
it was difficult for me to understand which race classes were running. There was a track announcer, but I did not catch much of what he said, and I did not see a program.
Anyway, it was a fun time, and I will post some photos when we get back to Boston later this week, as I can't deal with making the photo files small enough to post here on my cell phone.
