    Specific Ratings (A-F):
    Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – Very easy to find, well marked.
    Parking Location – Nice grassy park
    Class Organization – None
    Trophies & Prizes – No awards, the door prizes were very light this year compared to years past
    Food – They ran out of burgers multiple times during the day, but did their best to keep everyone happy. Thank goodness it was a smaller show this year, I don’t know what they would’ve done with double the cars like normal
    Entertainment – Good selection of music
    Judging – None
    Dash Plaque – I got one
    Variety of Cars – Local cars, and some I’d never seen before. It just felt good to get out in the sun again and socialize!
    Bathrooms – I did see them
    Weather – Beautiful in the morning, we left around 1 as the storms were rolling in. I wish at events like this where you don’t have access to radio/tv, they would tell participants storm watches are out
    Trophy Presentation Timing – None
    Entry Fee – $10, typical
    Overall Rating: B

    This is a nice show in a great location, I have a feeling different people have taken it over again, but I could be wrong. The door prizes used to make this show a not miss event…

    Specific Ratings (A-F):
    Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – No issues for me. They had plenty of signs on the roads.

    Parking Location – Grass which was plenty dry and not muddy. They had plenty of folks on hand to park the cars and line them up.

    Class Organization – none.

    Trophies & Prizes – I saw some bottles of wine and a case of beer as door prizes.

    Food – standard, burger, brats and dogs

    Entertainment – DJ

    Judging – none

    Dash Plaque – yes.

    Variety of Cars – a bunch along with a few tuners which is nice to see.

    Bathrooms – ok.

    Weather – I hit the road at about 1:30 and was surprised to hear that tornado’s were spotted near the dells. I got home to the west side of Madison before the rain hit.

    Trophy Presentation Timing – none
    Entry Fee – 10 bucks. They announced like 15 times about wanting folks to come up a register (some folks drive in park and then “forget” to register). They had a couple of folks at the entrance, so all they needed to do is have the folks at the entrance hand over a card after you pay, (which you would hand over to the folks at the registration tent) or your name is checked off the list of pre-registered. dontknow.gif

    This is always a nice relaxing show. Talked with many people and looked at some nice cars. Its too bad the weather had gotten so volatile lately.

    DeForest had about 100 cars which was pretty good considering the day.
