They said that if you went all four days and wanted to see every booth, you'd have about 8-9 seconds per booth to see all of them. I've been the last ten years, it's a not to be missed event. The Optima Challenge the day after is even better.

The best automotive event for me is the Power Tour, really a lot of fun. Not sure how a single event would be, but the long haul as a moving car show from town to town is awesome.

The first weekend of Speedweek in Wendover is pretty good. It often falls on the last weekend of Hot August Nights, lots of cars stopping in on the way home. Not huge but a lot of period perfect cars that get driven.
