It looks like I won't be able to make Shelby on Saturday this year - is it worth it to go on Sunday at all?  If yes, what time does it die?

TIA!

Shelby good this year. Attendance appeared to be down slightly, but still definitely holding its own.
Lots of great buys out there!

Absolutely brutal out in boneyard during setup day Friday, temp about 93 and sun was blistering.
Saturday was very pleasant.

The club did their usual excellent job organizing it.
Only real complaint about the facility is the near complete lack of shade.

I've never been there on a Sunday, I do understand there is a little activity in the early AM, but
a ghost town before noon.

Wish they would pick a weekend other than Labor Day. Playing dodge the speed demons and running the state trooper gauntlet is a bit much for a 300 mile one way trip despite staying in the motel two nights.

Agreed.  That is last big holiday/travel time before winter.  I don't go anymore because it seems it's either 95 degrees with 90% humidly or pouring rain.

I was disappointed and will not return. I went to buy a new Kenwood but had to come home and order from DX Engineering. I wish them luck.
