John, I plan to be there mon-tue-wed.  I plan to park in front of homebuilders headquarters as an "auto conversion".  They have offered this parking to former champions, homebuilts with over 1000 hrs, and auto-conversions (and maybe more).  I called and they are sending me a card for the window to alert the parking crew.
