Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) -A. Easy, I took highway 12, and let my GPS do the workParking Location – A-. I like trees and grass, but for a mid May show a parking lot is fine ( I did have trees and grass 25 feet away from my car and that is where I put my chair at). By 11AM they started to stack the cars in one stall per car instead of 1.5 stalls per car. I don’t think they turned anyone away, but it had to be close (my guess is that there were around 1000 cars)
Class Organization – n/a
Trophies & Prizes – A. They placed pink stickers on the award winners by 11AM.
Food – B. Normal burgers brats with a mix of gyros and other things. The prices for water and soad were a bit much. I would also recommend having water for sale on the far end of too.
Entertainment – A. Music was pipped in over some speakers and you could hear it pretty decently. And they had a live band their too.
Judging – N/A
Dash Plaque – A-. Nice big plaque with tiny photos of last years winners.
Variety of Cars – A. A little bit of everything (I can’t say I saw a Corvair or a Jag), with lots of 60-70 muscle cars (there must of been +70 Impalas there)
Bathrooms – B. A large portion of the location only had 2 porta-potties. I would suggest a couple more in the lower location
Weather – A+. I had about 3 drips of rain hit my windshield as I drove out.
Trophy Presentation Timing – N/A
Entry Fee – A/B. I didn’t pre register, and paid 15 bucks to get it, which I think is a fair price due to the number of cars there.
Overall Rating:A
Overall I enjoyed the show. It was a fun drive up there at 7AM (hardly any bugs to clean off). Lots of cars and lots of people. I didn’t understand the grab bags we got since it was a bunch of pamphlets to things around the Dells. Also, I would of thought they would of drawn more raffle tickets then they did due to the close to 1000 cars there.
I was thinking about going on the cruise but it was looking like rain so at about 3 I took off (or last least spent 30 minutes trying to get out, but I knew that would happen at that time). There were many exciting cars there and I one I enjoyed looking over many times was a car made by gang that works for Chip Foose:[img]http://www.walkerdowney.com/foose.JPG[/img]
That is a beautiful car, I tried to catch them all but I think I missed that one! :doh:
Does anyone have a final count on how many cars were there (either day)?
I saw that car. I remember looking at it and thinking there was something special about it, very well done.
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A ~ we took 51 to 16 right into the back part of town.
Parking Location – A ~ Noahs Ark is the perfect location
Class Organization – C ~ You had no idea what class you were in until the awards were announced. Saturday I’m sure there was well over 1000 cars and Sunday less than 200 due to the weather.
Trophies & Prizes – A ~ Steve & I both received a very nice plaque, the door prizes were nice also.
Food – A ~ Great selection, the prices were fair.
Entertainment – B ~ The music was hard to hear at times, but they do try to have something for all ages.
Judging – C ~ You were basically judged as you drove in Saturday (I’m pretty sure) and then later in the day they drove around on golf carts and put stickers on your window if you won. Sunday they did walk around and individually judge
Dash Plaque – B ~ Last years winners
Variety of Cars – A ~ Excellent! Saw some cars I’ve never seen before! Many cars had lots and lots of time and energy, let alone $$ into them.
Bathrooms – B ~ I would like to see more bathrooms you can actually enter with small children and/or handicapped. They did do a nice job of keeping them clean though
Weather – B ~ Saturday it was sunny and warm, Sunday was the complete opposite with cold and rain. It did improve later in the day. The wind was a factor for many also and the pollen coming off those trees wasn’t good for cars or people!
Trophy Presentation Timing – B ~ They kept it moving and you could hear every word
Entry Fee – A ~ I paid $10 ahead of time, that’s very fair.
Overall Rating:B+ ~ I always look forward to this show and the weekend goes entirely too quickly! The show was in jeopardy this year to due the actions of many last year so an increased police presence was very obvious. This weekend went well according to the officer we talked to at breakfast.Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A – Nice big signs entering the Dells
Parking Location – A – black top, parked 1.5 spaces which is always nice
Class Organization – N/A – I didn’t pay too much attention, it seemed fine
Trophies & Prizes – B – Its nice that they sticker the winning cars but like mentioned before they didn’t have many door prizes
Food – C – Good lemonade and food but a bit pricy and also located only on one side
Entertainment – B – Good music throughout but it was kind of tinny on those speakers at times
Judging – A – Efficient, done in the morning still
Dash Plaque – A – nice plaque
Variety of Cars – A+ – wow, well over 1,000
Bathrooms – C – As stated the bathrooms on the lower section were few between, usually only in pairs
Weather – B – Great day but it was getting hot by the end
Trophy Presentation Timing – N/A – didn’t stay for it
Entry Fee – B- $15
