Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A ~ Easy to find, well marked
Parking Location – A ~ In a field that was MOWED! Looked good
Class Organization – C ~ The classes were too big, they need to work on this
Trophies & Prizes – A ~ The trophies were very cool, a 50/50 raffle that was $280.
Food – B ~ Typical food, it was good.
Entertainment – A ~ I was impressed with the DJ, he wasn’t overly loud, played a good selection and had the speakers up high for everyone.
Judging – N/A
Dash Plaque – N/A
Variety of Cars – A ~ Great! It’s always fun to go away from “home” and see others. I saw some cars today I’ve never seen before and some old favorites.
Bathrooms – A ~ Plenty of porta potties and the buildings also had restrooms.
Weather – A ~ OUTSTANDING!
Trophy Presentation Timing – A~ even earlier than the 4 I heard quoted.
Entry Fee – C ~ Charging $5/person isn’t bad, but they also charged $5 for every spectator. I don’t think it’s fair to charge both, either one or the other.
Overall Rating:B A very good show, the museum was an added bonus, you could spend hours in there! They’ve worked hard on this show and will continue in the future.October 2, 2006 at 11:29 pm #26969AnonymousInactiveSpecific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A~Right off the interstate couldn’t be easier
Parking Location -A~Large grass field, lots of room to expand
Class Organization -C~Classes are too big,a display only option would be nice to so you can park with friends who drive a different make or type of vehicle.
Trophies & Prizes -B~Trophies were typical and no door prizes
Food – A~ the pulled pork was REALLY good.
Entertainment -A~ the DJ wasn’t over the top. However, the race stopper girls were… but thats not a bad thing, Hubba Hubba.

Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – B+ Easy to find
Parking Location – A Great location for a show, dry grass field, plenty of room
Class Organization – C+ Classes were large.
Trophies & Prizes – B From what I saw, pretty average.
Food – N/A Did not have any

Bathrooms – A- There were plenty and well placed.
Weather – A Ideal weather

Overall Rating:A- A very enjoyable show. On our way out of the show at the highway entrance, a black ’65 Corvette fastback(approximate) had just been in an accident. It looked like a couple of people were going to the hospital.October 3, 2006 at 4:02 am #26971GaribaldiKeymasterSpecific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – B – the way coming through Beloit on 213 was a bit tricky, but it was very well marked once we got there which was important because Metric Dr wasn’t by any means a main road
Parking Location – A – great spots on the lawn, it was short grass and tons of space for the cars
Class Organization – B – 1950 – 85 is quite large, but the did have many other classes like muscle cars that helped to filter it a bit
Trophies & Prizes – A – seemed like lots of nice trophies, looked like chalices. 50/50 too
Food – A – usual stuff plus a tiki bar, an interesting touch
Entertainment – A – good music and the dj wasn’t on all the time. This show also used the idea of putting the speakers on a lift like Beloit to better reach everyone while making it unbearably loud right around the speakers
Judging – A – saw a few judges walking around, didn’t notice any problems
Dash Plaque – C – very small, but nice design
Variety of Cars – A+! Not only was there a huge variety outside but the inside of the museum had many amazing cars – owned by Howard Huges, Johnny Cash, Elvis, presidential cars including the one JFK was assassinated in, the police car from the Andy Griffith Show, racing history, ect
Bathrooms – A – lots of them
Weather – A – fantastic weather, and especially good for October
Trophy Presentation Timing – C – 4:00 seems kind of late
Entry Fee – A – usual
Overall Rating:A+ This was definitely one of the best shows of the year, if not the best. The huge variety of great cars, especially ones from Illinios that I hadn’t seen, plus everything in the museum and the weather made it an all together great day of cars! -
