    Specific Ratings (A-F):
    Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – Easy to find if you are from Madison, I saw many cars driving past the entrance so I would suggest having a sign by the road or something on that line.
    Parking Location – Great, plenty of room!
    Class Organization – None
    Trophies & Prizes – Nice auto related door prizes, I think everyone got something.
    Food – Brat & Brau is good anytime!
    Entertainment – The music was hard to hear at times, but then many around had the Packer game on! :)
    Judging – I only saw one guy from the Dells Area Cruisers (I think) doing the judging and he seemed to be doing a good job.
    Dash Plaque – Small, but nice.
    Variety of Cars – Lots of local cars, some of the club cars were new to me.
    Bathrooms – Inside the building, works for me.
    Weather – Super!!!!
    Trophy Presentation Timing – I like it when shows do awards between 2-2:30, 4:00 tends to make the day very long.
    Entry Fee – $10, expected and normal
    Overall Rating: B I know the GTO/Pontiac club works hard to make this show happen. They did a great job, I’d like to see this show grow more in the future. Maybe other clubs can help out and or another location may work? We had a nice time!

    I’m guessing that the magical and astounding ’92 Corvette didn’t win best of show this year? icon_cheesygrin.gif

    Correct, best of show was a ’72 or so Cuda from the Spring Green area I believe. It is a beautiful car which was trailered there, it was also at the Spring Green show.

    That Cuda is an amazing car, do they drive that car at all? I looked at it in Spring Green ~ wow!

    I think they would get more cars and more people stopping by to check out the show if they had it at their East Wash location….

    The Black 91 Vette that won last year belonged to a friend of mine. He sold it to a doctor in Chicago. The doctor sold it at Meechum this year for an amazing… get this…$19,000.

    They were all afraid of losing to me again. LOL. But seriously, there were only a few imports there last year and my Maxima took best of 5 or more mods. That is the real beauty of this show, there is so much variety.

    I think it was a red 92 that’s won the last couple years, but I could be wrong. Where has “Doc” been this year? I haven’t seen him at all?!

    With the black vette sold, he hasn’t had a desire to go to shows. plus he has had some health issues..diabetes.

    I think I know the red vette too. they are both friends.

    The “Cuda” is a trailered show queen. It is not driven at all. It is trailered to the shows and displayed and then trailered out. It is an amazing, amazing car.

    I, too, hope that this show grows in the coming years. It is competing against the Platteville Dairy Days Show on it’s current date. I have attended this show in years past as a spectator, and brought my car this year for the first time. It’s a good “in our own backyard” show, and I had a great time at this one!
