Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – B, when I asked for a few spots in the shade, they told me there were none. When I got parked on the football field 15 magically appeared by the beach. No big deal, I just drove down there.
Parking Location – A, lots of shade where I was at. Made for a comfortable day.
Class Organization – N/A, park where you wanted.
Trophies & Prizes – A, my friend Jeff won an award and they were very nice trophies.
Food – B, usual burgers and brats. They did have pies, but I never got the chance to eat any or, nor did i get any ice cream either.
Entertainment – C. I was a little disappointed that 3D sound chose to brodcast Sirius satellite radio all day instead of having a vast array of tunes. This may have been the decision of the show committee, not sure.
Judging – Appeared fair. I didn’t compare vehicles in classes because they weren’t parked by class. I also didn’t hear anyone complain about any of the vehicles that won that maybe shouldn’t have.
Dash Plaque – Yes, very colorful.
Variety of Cars – A+, many cars you don’t see at your local shows.
Bathrooms – B, could use more plastic potties. BTW, these were some of the nicest porta-potties I’ve ever seen….er, used.
Weather – A, another beautiful day.
Trophy Presentation Timing – B, seemed on time, but htey have a lot to give away so it takes a while.
Entry Fee – $10, the going rate. It’s for a good cause this time.
Overall Rating:A This is a great show, better than Blanchardville I think. Today I brought my friend’s ’71 Charger R/T survivor car that I’ve been working on and getting driveable for him when he comes home from California next week, it’s been in storage for over a year. I would also like to congratulate circletrack’s husband, Steve, for winning in the pro-street class with his camaro. There were many nice cars at this show, and everyone should be proud for a great turnout in Pardeeville. I have a soft spot for this town because my mom’s from Pardeeville and when talking with Jim Nelson (the show coordinator) it turned out he and my mom were in the same class in school!! Small world, huh?

Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – Plenty of signs, and easy to find. I got there at about 8:30.

Parking Location – Lots of shade, and sun if you wanted it. I had a nice spot where my car was mostly in the sun, and my chair was in front of the car in the shade all day. My only issue with my parking spot (and the others around me) was that they had one spot coned off, and signs saying “no parking”. They did this so the cars (like mine) in the second row could leave if they wanted to. Unfortunately another car owner drove by and thought that would be a great spot for his car (which would of been fine if he was at his car all day and willing to move it, which he did once).

Class Organization – none

Trophies & Prizes – Lots of nice Trophies (congrats to Steve, and Jeff/Tammy with their Mopar win). The door prizes looked a little weak I prefer car related items.

Food – Great. for 4.25 it will get you a burger, corn and a soda.

Entertainment – I was not impressed with the sat radio also. The main issue is that it was from one generation of music (the 1950-1960’s). They did make a huge improvement over last year with 2-3 wireless units (maybe they have a serius sat system at each wireless system to help stop the delay to the wireless systems?)

Judging – yup they did it.

Dash Plaque – Got one. I personally like it when they have the double stick tape on the back since I stick them up in my garage.

Variety of Cars – Over 350 cars showed up. Lots of everything.

Bathrooms – I think if they would toss in one more on each end they would be fine.

Weather – Prefect.

Trophy Presentation Timing – don’t know. I drove out at 3, to head to downtown Madison to watch the second half of the badger game.

Entry Fee – 10 for judge, 5 for show. I like this option for the larger shows.

Overall Rating:A Great show that was even better this year. When I was in line waiting for my parking spot a gentleman named Anthony who is a Missionary in Africa asked if he could jump in my car with me. I said sure and we chatted for a few minutes about how he use to own a bug back in Africa.
