Thursday afternoon/evening is "Hot Rod Day". Anything & Everything is welcome (and shows up!).
If you get there early (3:30/4:30) you'll probably get a spot in the restaurant lot, but you may get "trapped" in by other cars for awhile. If the restaurant's full, there's huge overflow across the street.
It's only about a mile from the new 40 Watt Garage, so I get down there often.
