Sam's Club. Prices vary.
EZ-Up is the name brand, and from what I've seen of the knockoffs the extra price is worth it. They only last about 10 years though before the frame starts corroding and the canopy has a bunch of holes in it.
I still bring it to the track, though.

Yeah. If you can find one with steel joints (the new ones are all plastic, AFAIK) jump on that sucker. Even the new-er EZ-Ups I've seen have a fair amount of plastic... my old one is all steel. Heavier than hell, but it's held up to a lot. If only I could find a new canopy for it...

look around online....
I have a kwikshade and an Ezup (in the background of these shots from this weekend:
http://images.miller-motorsports.com...fldr=brp090405
The ezup was half off (250 instead of 500- came with walls and fold out vendor top) and is white on the underside-- to differentiate what you are looking at, the kwik shade is grey underneath (and was $100 from walmart). The ezup doesn't fold up nearly as small (its 6 feet long folded, the kwick shade is 4-5; both are 10X10.) as the kwikshade but has a lot more bracing. We had to add bracing to the kwikshade to make it last.
I believe, having gone thorugh several other cheap brands, you get what you pay for.
