Matt,
The AutoFair requires that the car clubs be "in place" at the show field by 7:30 AM. The main gates open to the public at 8 AM. There would be no traffic to speak of at those times. The reason they want us there so early is because of the traffic. If the weather cooperates, there will be 100,000 people!
