Any idea which event will be less cluttered? I ask this because it could effect our group. As we ride along the "tail". Would not want it to turn out to be a dud due to too many vehicles outside of us. Also hotel reservation could possibly be lower in cost for which ever dates have fewer people.

so once again the question is (which dates will have fewer people at those events).
 
The first week of April is spring break for a lot of Georgia school systems.It might be busier during that time frame. I picked that weekend due to being off the following week. I have never been to one this gatherings. I don't currently own a svt but im hoping that changes in a few days.

The weekend of April 16 will have many more cars in the area. Mostly street rods and muscle cars attending the Pigeon Forge Rod Run and the Bronco event in Townsend. Hotel prices will be likely be higher, or harder to get. Particularly in Pigeon Forge.
 
The later week will be tough for some Southerners to attend.

That is the week of RBC Heritage Golf Tournament on Hilton Head Island, SC.

I KNOW there is no chance for me to be off that week.
 
I'll help you, Brian...
"Registration for 2020 is closed! Click here to be added to the waitlist"


SZ it is. I am registered for the ST Experience in April and the 16th through the 19th is perfect for coordinating the two events. They are fairly close to each other as well.

If only Spring Zing registration would be filled in less then a day!!! LOL

Chris I might come visit you for Easter!! Then we can head to Spring Zing together like old times!
