The very first unofficial year was the best. Classic Cars burning rubber, not a gazillion people, awesome cars, what can I say? In recent years it has gotten HUGE and I try to avoid it. The cars are still great, but the cops won’t let anyone have any fun (no burning rubber, no burnouts, closing down roads, etc) If you haven’t been go at least once. If you don’t like classic cars, crowds, and 50s inspired paraphenalia then you could miss it and not miss much.
