Very good chance I'll be there as a spectator. I missed last year, much to my frustration. This is just too cool an event to accidentally miss, and an hours drive is easily countered, the second you see the display field! If your showing, I'll do my best to hunt you down!
I keep asking (whining mostly) the support staff to relegate an advanced parking lot for British parking only..... but it falls on deft ears. <sigh>
Last time I attended, the parking lot was full of beautiful British cars that like myself, came to 'appreciate' rather than attend the whole event.
You have to admit, people coming from parking lots three rows back would see the closest lot full of some stunning British craftsmanship. A prelude to what they are yet to see, has its own rewards.
So I have evening obligations starting around 4:30ish.
What is the earliest a spectator can arrive and see the event with all cars in place?

I got a late start (10ish) coming from the peninsula, and by the time I hit 405, everything was at nearly a standstill all the way up the eastern side of Lake Washington. After an hour of bumper to bumper crawling I surrendered and turned around somewhere near Frys.
Arrrrggg!!!
Sigh... I should have paid more attention to how far north the park was, and taken the Kingston boat.
Anyhow thanks again for the pics, and sorry I missed it all....
