    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.

    Trophies & Prizes – B From what I saw, pretty average.
    Food – N/A Did not have any

    Specific 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!
