NSRA in Burlington

[yellowperil]

Thinking of attending this Sept 19, 20 21 Street Rod Nationals in Burlington,actually Essex Junction. Any do's and don'ts as far as best route through Maine, NH, and eastern Vermont?

Slightly pressed for time as setting out from PEI Canada, so just getting to Bangor is close to 400 miles, which looks to be about half way. Only got 5 days total, so it's going to be a lot of driving, (maybe even too much for Thur to Mon trip)

So if the roads, as in # 2 through Skowhegan, are not good it might be too much.

Grateful for any help or opinions, thanks
