Seriously though, it's a good one- been going since I was about 6.
For the veterans of the swap meet, skip this part-
There are two swap meets going on, The PIR and the EXPO.
The Portland international Raceway opens on Thursday and the EXPO opens (to the public) Friday.
There are shuttles between the two (school buses) and towards the afternoon it gets a bit like a journey through Bombay on those buses; Car parts, hand trucks, goats, chickens, all standing room only on the bus.
Bring large and small bills, and good shoes & a light rain jacket.
Tons of good 67-72 stuff, as well as many others. I've seen a radio for a tucker, a Durant Grille, Mechanical fuel injection off of early corvettes, all for sale.
Even if you don't spend more than the admission (under 10 bucks at each place) it is worth it to see the projects and freak show stuff people are trying to unload
