I started going when I was 30....19 years later, I still have a blast.

I'm told housing is sold out. Might be able to find something like a B&B or private condo rentals nearby though. Registration, phase 2, opens early April. Tours are usually the first thing to sell out. Autocross and rallies (Gimmick and TSD) don't seem to sell out. My kids, 21, 19 and 16, specifically asked us to get a condo big enough for them. They started going as toddlers and love seeing the different parts of the country. A bunch of folks from my region went to French Lick. They got hooked in one Parade. They're sharing 5 bedroom condos at Jay Peak. No day passes available. I met a couple at the Traverse City Parade who registered for three days because the wife said she wouldn't be able to handle 7 days of Porsche stuff. They went home Tuesday. Said they looked at each after a day home and realized they were having a blast at Parade. So they called the hotel, got a room, and came back on enjoy Parade Thursday-Saturday. Some people love Parade, others don't. I never understood the fascination with trying to hit a little white ball into a hole for two hours...but hey, good luck to those that do.
