We drove our street cars today and walked through the swap a couple times, finding good deals. I think most of the guys were more than happy to unload some of their stuff today in the crappy weather. The car corral was practically non-existent, less than 100 cars. All in all a very cruddy day. We didn’t stay for awards, I’ve been told they either judge you as you drive in, or the parking guys do the judging as they are parking you and come back later if they see something award worthy.

We go mainly for the swap, hopefully the weather cooperates next year, I’m sure they took a big hit today.

I made the trip 2-3 years back? She’s a hell of a trip from
Appleton for the 30 second judge job that was done on my car.

They never even noticed that the car was tubed. Swore I’d never go back. So I hear you on the disappointment on the judging and even the awards for that matter.

I sometimes get the sheep going to the slaughter mentality when they take your money and run. You may have noticed that I slightly criticized this and similar shows. While
applauding “car owner expense friendly” events.

Come up to the valley next year. Yesterday I had about five shows to chose from, and today two or three.

I make a few weekend down south and stay overnight between shows to justify the fuel expense incurred. It,s a nice weekend away from the local car show and people. A great opportunity for making new friends. Try it you’ll like it.

I was there once 20 years ago, and the judging was the same then. If you are lucky enough to receive an award there, they are pretty cool. I have never gone back because of the way they do things there. I have seen concours winning cars, never win an award there. I spent the weekend in Kalamazoo at the NSRA Nats. Great time, great friends, good food…
