    Specific Ratings (A-F):
    Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – No issues. I received a map that showed me where my entry gate was at.

    Parking Location – Grass, blacktop

    Class Organization – 1 spot for feature cars (Ragtops, Roadsters and rumble seats), one spot of Pre-War, One spot for post war and one spot for Blue Ribbon cars.

    Trophies & Prizes -none

    Food – Lots of fairly priced items including: chicken, pork chop, steak dinners, burgers, hot dogs, brats, frys, pizza’s, egg rolls, ice cream. Their set up for the burgers and brats and frys was pretty cool since it was ala cart, grab what you want and pay for it.

    Entertainment – The cars and 4500 vendors….

    Judging – None

    Dash Plaque – I know there was one, but I can’t say I received one

    Variety of Cars – you name it, it was there. My guess on Friday, was that there was about 1500 show cars,and 500 in the for sale part.

    Bathrooms – plenty all over the place.

    Weather – as stated above.

    Trophy Presentation Timing – none

    Entry Fee – I pre-paid 15 and that got me, my car and my cousin in on Thursday and friday

    They have all elements of a car show down to a science including rapidly parking cars and feeding 180,000 people throughout the 4 days (they had 7 semi’s full of food and beverage)
