Anyone planing on going to the Chicagoland show April 1st? Is Thursday AM the best time to walk the lot and do some shopping??

Mike you have the right date but the day is Friday. Yes I try to get there about 6:30. Many of the vendors are there for sales by 5:00am. We will be on daylight savings time so bring a flashlight.

Also they allow dealers to get in line for .their outside parking and spaces......once the dealers are parked a lot of them linger around with their doors open. Hint hint nudge nudge. Also I would say if you are the type of guy who can't sleep the night before get out there at 5 or like I do 4 -43 on Friday morning especially if the weather is nice out. You might not find anything but if you are not there ..... Also ask a few dealers if they have an extra pass they are willing to sell. The show doors open for set up at 6am. Good luck and good hunting.

Oops... Meant to say that on Thursday they allow....

When you pay your $50.00 admission which covers all three days you will get a wrist band. This band will allow you to park closer to the main building. Just show it to security as you enter the east part of the grounds.

Thanks for all the info. I should get in Thursday afternoon. I will purchase the $50.00 dealer preview wrist band. It was fun walking the lot last time and just looking around. I just hope the weather is a bit warmer this year. If not, I'll just wear the long johns again.
