I usually roll in around 10-10:30. Try getting there when the gates open and you'll sit in traffic for a while.

I usually leave here at around 3 in the morning and get there before 8 with a stop at mickey d's.

From what I read gate 3 (the show car gate) is open 24 hours.  See the link below.  I  assume "proper credentials" means you are registered to for the event.  You might want to contact them and make sure.

I come and go as I want. One of the perks of a venders pass ( about the only one  come to think of it)

Hey there are pretty good perks to having a press pass too. Come and go as you please, and get access to just about everywhere you want to go. Too bad won't have one this year.

Don't worry Danny, you'll have free parking when you bring your C500 into the show field

mu question was how early can you park in the lot across from the main gate as a spectator?

I would say that depends on who is taking the money for that lot.  Is it privately owned (like most of them as they are peoples yards) or is it owned by the Fairgrounds?  I imagine for spectators most of the parking areas (lots or yards) would be open right around 7AM.

I usually get there about 7am on Sat morning. People are already parking in the yards all around the fairgrounds. So I'm guessing people are getting there around 6 am.
