I think it’s going to come down to the simple question of whether the cars & coffee people want to keep a first come first serve all are welcome policy, or if they are willing to risk offending the charger/challenger/mustang etc crowd by having people at the gate given the discretion to turn away those that they dont feel are “show worthy”. I know which i would choose, and which would make this a quality gathering, but i don’t envy the guy at the gate that would have the arguments with all those he turns away, and the inevitable complaints about how they base their choices. The registration for a lifetime pass seems like a way to choose who gets in without blatantly turning people away, we’ll see how it works. Either way, i’ll be there and be there early and enjoy.
