WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BE PLACED AT THE SHOW
The Pintos will usually be placed about 3/4 of the way straight in from the entrance ( off of Stanton Ave.) and up one of the rows about 1/2 way up. If you are walking in to the show, depending on where you park the pintos will be closest to The Roller Coaster that you can see inside of Knotts Berry Farm.

WHAT TO TO DURRING THE SHOW.
It has been my experience that things move pretty quickly once you park your car ( or arrive on foot). If you want to bring a beach chair you should because there is not much sitting due to all the questions and comments from the viewers. There are a few places to eat at the show and the lines start up at about noonish. I would encourage everyone to take a quick lap around and see the other cars. It can get warm there so bring a hat and sun screen also. I would also bring a cooler with water/soda. You should also bring a camera so we can compile pictures from a bunch of different perspectives.
