I get my fill of Charley at other events... I've thought - a nanosecond at least - about going back, but there's just other things to do - and I'm not any different than everyone else - I only have so many weeks to do "X" amount of car stuff - before it has to take a back seat to family stuff.
This year it is on the same weekend as the NorCal Shelby Mini Nats at Sonoma -- and I have more fun driving the car Charley gave away than I do sitting in a parking lot. (I've never been much of a car show guy).
I think you should modify your trip and include Sonoma for a couple hours... then have Charley send his helicopter to pick you up and whisk you over to Reno.

I planned the trip around HAN because Charlie said, It's not to be missed, he rated it above all other shows, so we will see.
It's a shame it's on at the same time as the Nor Cal deal as I would have love to be there for a look and add some banter.
I'm heading over to see Ron Sutton after Han on the Monday, as he is re valving some shocks for me.

The man is a god.
I'll let him explain as I don't want to discuss his personal fleet of stuff.
But really... No, not that I'm aware of... but with Charley, you never know.

Doesn't he just borrow your spare.
