I am thinking about going to the Red Barn swap on Saturday to sell oval and a few other parts. I have not been in years. Hows the turn out?

Or, Kelley Park - but I have to go solo. Can you leave the swap early?

I haven't been in a couple of years either, but it was a decent size then.

I think you can sneak out of the swap area at Kelley Park early if you park in the back section because there's a gate back there. If you're up front, you have to drive through the crowd which is frowned upon.

Here's some details on the event:

I'm vacilating between driving the SC(slightly suspect) or my Dakota(reliable). Are there any caravans heading N. out of OC or L.A.?

Missed them again, went on a camping trip again on the same weekend. Same thing last year. Maybe next year. For what it is worth, I helped run the very first Kelly Park show some 40 years ago.
