Been there over the years with both my bikes and cars - well worth a visit, and going up the strip is certainly worth doing.
I'd suggest going along on some of the retro Ford days - even if you don't own a Ford - I should be there with my Minor again (hopefully won't break this time), and it would be good to see something different in the way of rods etc racing.
