I visited the 9th Annual Del Mar Nationals (living in San Diego, Del Mar is only 20 minutes from me on the I-5). It took three times as long to get into the Del Mar Fairgrounds as it did for me to drive up the freeway. One hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic, a total of may three miles from the freeway offramp. I was tailgated the whole way by a huge offroad truck with wire grates over the headlamps and a huge rolled steel bumper. If this guy tapped my bumper, it would have been major scratch damage.
At one point I could have pulled over to the left and parked in the overflow lot, but the lot is all dirt and the haze of dust was very evident. I had just wiped the car down the same morning with Last Touch and it was looking too sweet to drive through a dust cloud. I would just endure the crawl and park in the fairgrounds asphalt parking lot. So what happens? I pay my $9 parking lot fee and am promptly directed under a pedestrian bridge to (ta-daaa!) the dirt overflow lot
Meguiars had a really sweet display set up at the far end of the fairgrounds. None of the MOL Mikes were there, or at least they weren't when I arrived in the afternoon, but Megs had all of their products out for display and for purchase. Although I initially went hoping for some Megs freebie goodies and handouts, I ended up purchasing an irresistable G110 package Megs had put together especially for this show (more on that in a separate thread).
Anyway, here's the pics. I would have taken more, but my SD card filled up.
