Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – No signs. but my GPS took me right to the site.

Parking Location – This is held at a Chevy dealer and they have various lots at their site. I showed up at 8:30 and I was in one of the back lots. I was around car 500 (I think) and I would guess there were about 600 cars. At 11 AM they stopped letting cars in since they were full.

Class Organization – No clue, there was none. The info here in the calendar stated pre-1975, but there were at least 50-75 post 1975 cars.

Trophies & Prizes – No clue. I paid 10 bucks to enter myself in a class (which I think I didn’t need to do). No door prize.

Food – burgers brats, hot dogs. At times it looked like BratFest with lines 20 deep. At 2PM they ran out of burgers. McDonalds, Culvers and Subway were also, all within walking distance.

Entertainment – DJ with 2 speakers that only covered 1 of the four lots.

Judging – I think they did? I’m not sure where my 10 went to? The dealer?

Dash Plaque – They had some, put only enough for those that pre-register.

Variety of Cars – TONS. lots of your normal Camero’s, Mustangs, muscle cars, and many rarer 4 door wagons, Caddy’s, Studies, Olds, trucks…

Bathrooms – They had a few porta johns. No real issues (wait 2 minutes and you’re in).

Weather – a bit warm but still nice

Trophy Presentation Timing -?

Entry Fee – 10 or free (to park and walk around).

Overall Rating:B

Most of the cars I’ve never seen before. I was a little lost about the parade. I thought it was suppose to be like Automotions parade of cars, but I don’t think it was? What did my 10 bucks get me? No idea on judging? Door prizes? No grab bag (not a big deal). No idea on the parade (I asked and they told me I needed to sign up someplace). Many of the entry exits were blocked by large metal locked gates. I saw a couple cars drive up and sit for 20 minutes as they waited for someone to unlock the gate so they could get out since there was no other way out. The locked gate issues could have been an issue if they needed to get a rescue unit it .

Overall it was a fun day, and the longest trip I’ve made to date in the bug (I checked my MPG and I hit 35MPG).
