This sounds really good (and free)... i will definetely be there.
I talked to some friends today and I think there will be anywhere between 5 to 10 of us.

We have a race on sunday so we can't make the track day, but the show on saturday seems good.

Wonderful -about parking - it is free
 

It is free. The City of Grapevine has designated to parking lots very near the showgrounds for ICF parking only. Please follow the map available at italiancarfest.com. The it is an easy, short walk to ItalianCarFest.

BTW, make sure to grab something to eat at ICF. Applebee's, Matt's Smokehouse and Italianni's will be serving food at very reasonable prices. Unlike most shows & festivals or professional sports events, we do not allow price gouging!
