Congtatulations to Amigo2K for a well deserved win at Albany!
My only comment would be for the show organizers to take a look at adding some extra classes for next years show. For example, separate classes for Corvettes, Mustangs, and Convertibles would seem to be appropriate, looking at the cars attending the 2007 show. I was in Class D (1961-1970 Original/Restored) and I am guessing there was about 30 to 35 cars in my class alone.
I liked this show and I loved the food, so I will plan on attending this show again next year. Overall, I would rate this show an A-.

Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A. My GPS had me drive past the mobile station and into town, but they had signs in town to point me in the right direction.
Parking Location – mostly grass, some asphalt spots, no issues with dust or pollen
Class Organization – I agree with Marshall, they need to break the classes up a bit. There must of been 30-40 cars considered special interest (which included new vettes, cameros and the such
Trophies & Prizes – Nice trophy’s, and nice door prizes. I picked up a hemi replica engine, and as Marshall noted I won 3rd place for 1951-1960 restored. That was the class they put me in even though I told them it is more of a custom then a restored car. What do they judge you on? My car’s main issues, is body issues (door dings, scratches, non-matching paint fix on the hood). Still it is nice to pick up some plastic!
Food – Good stuff! burgers, hot dogs, pulled turkey, pork, beef sanwhiches, soad, water and 1 dollar beers!Entertainment – They had the DJ out of Ill. Good volume, standard 50-60s automotive tunes. And the DJ didn’t talk non-stop, she introduced cars as they came in, and read off name of door prize winners and read off, future shows. I like this format, then having the DJ person telling stories and yelling a people to not touch the cars….
Judging – I would like to know what they judge on ….
Dash Plaque – nice, bigger then most and a nice looking image on it
Variety of Cars – Pretty decent. I saw a lot of cars I’ve never seen before that were from Ill.
Bathrooms – At the lions club. I thought it might be on issue due to the size of where the cars were at, but it wasn’t
Weather – prefect. warm with clouds.
Trophy Presentation Timing – Started about 30 minutes early and were done before they said it was suppose to be done (nice).
Entry Fee – 10 bucks. fair. All proceeds went to the lions club.
Overall Rating: A
Other then splitting up a couple of the classes, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Where did the folks park that wanted to stop in to check the cars out?
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – B+ For being kind of out in the middle nowhere was easy to find. Actually a very nice drive down there , took the backroads, some very apealing houses on the hills.
Parking Location – A – Great location enough room to put up a canopy.
Class Organization – C Like has been said a few more classes would be nice. Class D was huge.
Trophies & Prizes – A- Nice bunch of trophies.
Food – A Food was great, very cheap and the Pork was delicious. And you can’t beat $1 beers.

Yeah that original/restored ’61-’70 class needs to be divided up more. In my class (modified ’71-85) there was only 5 cars-4 chevy’s and my mopar dontknow.gif Maybe they should break up and give the survivor’s there own class, and split the class D, maybe 61-66 and 67-70?

Quote:Where did the folks park that wanted to stop in to check the cars out?That’s a good question. There seemed to be a little room on the other side of the Lions club and I saw a few people parking behind the car wash. There wasn’t a whole lot of room however
Hi guys, I recently found out about this site and thought I would join up. This was my first Albany show, I generally only attend a few shows a year if I am lucky.
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A – I followed a friend, so it was a piece of cake to find.
Parking Location – B+ – only thing that would have made it better would have been shade
Class Organization – B- – my class could have been broken up like said above, but o well, it’s hard to break up classes when you don’t know what the turnout will be.
Trophies & Prizes – A – seemed to go smoothly
Food – A+ – the turkey sandwiches were GREAT!
Entertainment – B – didn’t really pay much attention really.
Judging – B+ – was judged by judges and not by participants or spectators
Dash Plaque – yep, got one
Variety of Cars – B – seemed to cover a nice gap of years
Bathrooms – A – nice to have something other than port-a-johns
Weather – B – a bit too warm and muggy
Trophy Presentation Timing – A – didn’t notice any issues with it
Entry Fee – B – seemed fair
Overall Rating:B+ Just got a bit warm and humid towards the end, but it was a great show.Welcome to the forum JRHAWK9!
There are many good shows each year in the Janesville area or within an hours drive of Janesville. For example, Monroe, Edgerton, Albany, and Evansville are all good shows.
Marshall
thanks Marshall!
yeah, I have heard about other shows in the area and may be going to a couple more this summer but it seems like my a lot of my weekends are filling up fast again this summer. Add to the fact that I am not as ambitious as I used to be in my younger years when it comes to detailing…lol
