You have to get there really early.

1 or 2am to be safe.

ATCO Raceway is really small and gets packed real quick.

With the Honda scene at it's highest point, expect to see even locals from NY and NJ lining up at 2am.

I highly suggest you wait for the one at Raceway Park in August.
This Englishtown park is bigger and more parking spots are available.

In the same boat as you. Driving roughly 11hrs from ohio so i'd hate to not be able to get in. I went to the e-town one last fall but was able to purchase tickets online ahead of time

i was turned away last year at atco, had to park out in the dirt field. the only people they were letting into the event were people that reserved a spot for the show.
there were some realllllly busted looking cars in the show section too!!!

If you want to increase your odds of getting in, yes.

Starts at 10 am and you have to be there at 2am? Damn its not the new Iphone. Seems crazy to me to sit out there 4-8 hours before gates open to get in. Atleast the scene is alive someplace still i guess.
