What goes on
Expect rows of show cars and a big swap meet. There is also a sales corral if you are shopping for a Corvette. The Expo also organizes a group cruise to the Tail of the Dragon (US 129), which is a popular part of the weekend for owners who drive in. The schedule of events on the Expo site has the times for each.
Scooter rentals are offered at the Expo through Scooter Time, and reservations open in January 2027.
