Dan,
A couple of things.
When they insist you lower your gear 20 miles out, go ahead and lower -
then raise it again after you pass that checkpoint. ( Just don't forget it
later on)
The higher altitude works OK but remember, our LNC2's have extremely small
visibility from in front. Don't rely on a controller to keep you
separated.
Once on final, I had a jet in camo paint right below me. (I was making two
shadows and told the controller I'd be doing a 360)
If you park with the other Lancairs near the factory tent, there are some
nice camping spots within walking distance. (Over by the theater)

LML Gang,
I haven't flown into OSH in many years and it was always in a slow 172
where the specified 90kts was not an issue.
In reading the NOTAM it looks like there is an option for higher
performance planes to fly the arrival at 135kts at 2,300' (rather than 90kts at
1,800'). What have you all done? I'd sure prefer the 135kts for
engine and oil cooling as well as safety margin for when I get behind someone
that is only doing 75kts.
Any other OSH arrival tips appreciated, including the camping situation
for the experimentals.
Thanks!
