That's what takes considerable time. Imagine having to get 77 cars thru a session like that! You said it yourself, we're leaving earlier this year just so we can make all that happen. I like leaving earlier.
But I want to drive, not sit around for a couple of hours!
Maybe we can discuss for Fall 2011 at drivers' meeting on Friday evening.
Dennis, In all due respect,
We don't sit around for a couple of hours ...we mingle with the others and look under some hoods and compare mods etc.

Either way the bottom line is we shouldn't hit Robbinsville before LUNCH and it's only a half hour away so we still wont be leaving until around 11:30 anyway as we always have.
I also suspect not EVERYONE (77 cars) will want the individual photos taken either...
although US129photos has offered us an incredible package deal this year for ALL our individual photos from al 3 days on the Dragon and at the photo shoot.
I just backed things up a little to provide more time for all of us to get there, get parked and spend time together...thats all
I'm sorry if you feel that this is not a good use of your/our time.

We can discuss more Friday night as a group but for now I'm only focused on this GTG and would prefer not posting up more discussion on this thread with thoughts regarding next year.
