Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A ~ Nice trip out this morning, well marked.
Parking Location – B ~ A bit confusing at first as I had to tell them twice we wanted to park as a club, but there was plenty of parking for all. Closing one of the major streets in that little town really helped!
Class Organization – B ~ I think everyone was parked where they should be.
Trophies & Prizes – B ~ Your typical door prizes and trophies. I was shocked to win 1st in my class, there were over 30 cars in it!
Food – B ~ I didn’t buy anything there as I heard the prices were high. This is one of the great shows you can go to any of the many local bars to get a good lunch. I found brats advertised for FREE on the street over. They weren’t really free as there were looking for donations for some type of organization. We did give them $5/3, they were happy.
Entertainment – D ~ The announcer from 3D, or whatever it’s called is annoying, and seems to enjoy hearing herself talk. I find her style of entertainment not my style and heard complaints from many around me today. The selection of music played was different (when she wasn’t talking during the songs, or stopping the music half way through)
Judging – B ~ They did a nice job and asked for extra judges this year. I did like the award presentation being at 2 p.m.!
Dash Plaque – B ~ Your typical
Variety of Cars – B ~ It’s nice to see new ones in other areas.
Bathrooms – D ~ I only found 1 porta potty around the show and was told there were others in the park (which was not very close to the cars). We walked across the street to the gas station and found what we needed. I would suggest more, I can’t imagine the businesses appreciate everyone coming in for one reason.
Weather – A ~ PERFECT!!! It’s usually so hot for this show, but was beautiful today!
Trophy Presentation Timing – A ~ Very close to the time they quoted.
Entry Fee – B ~ $10, your typical fee.
Overall Rating: B ~ This show continues to grow and get better each year. I know they are looking for suggestions to which I would add breaking up some of the larger classes (especially the Mustang class) and dropping some of the classes they don’t have participants in. I would also like to see new entertainment, but someone must like what they had today as she’s been there for years now.Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A – easy to find and a nice ride down, not many other cars on the road
Parking Location – B – It was nice and there was actually room to set up a canopy. It was on the end however
Class Organization – B – seemed pretty good but I think they need to split up the 60s stock and mustang classes
Trophies & Prizes – A – lots of door prizes and the trophies looked very nice. Congrats to Circletrack on her win!
Food – A – bbq pulled pork. Looked very good. I had a root beer float which was a great treat on this warm day.
Entertainment – A – Good music, a lot of Beach Boys
Judging – A – Seemed to be doing a thorough job
Dash Plaque – C – no cars on it
Variety of Cars – A – a lot that I’ve never seen before
Bathrooms – B – none on the ends
Weather – A – Nice, a little warm in the sun if you’re just sitting
Trophy Presentation Timing – A+ – they did it right at 2 which was a nice change!
Entry Fee – A – standard
Overall Rating:A+ – This show is definitely one of my favorite ones of the whole year. The location is excellent and it is really a lot of fun!Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A I really enjoy driving the back roads early in the morning, so my drive down 73 was extremely pleasant.
Parking Location – A Very well done, as I like to park with other Mustangs and I am certain this makes it easier for the judges
Class Organization – D The Mustang Class was way too large with too many cars, especially the new, limited production cars such as the Shelby GT500, Rousch cars, GT/California Specials cars, etc
Trophies & Prizes – A There seemed to be plenty of doors prizes and the trophies were nice also
Food – B I wandered into the Red Baron and had one of the “universes’ best hamburgers” Actually not a bad burger
Entertainment – B, I am OK with this DJ. Maybe I have been to too many shows where she has been hired to do the music. The 3D Sound company does alot of the shows now.
Judging – B Well done, on time, and very professional
Dash Plaque – C Kind of generic and plain
Variety of Cars – B Many cars that I haven’t seen at other shows
Bathrooms – D They definitely need to add more on the street corners
Weather – A Perfect
Trophy Presentation Timing – A Right on time and very well done
Entry Fee – Standard $10
Overall Rating:put overall rating hereB This show is growing and is experiencing “growing pains”, but continues to be one of my favorites. Congrats to Circletrack on her win and also to John Christianson for his Best of Show/Ford win.Quote:Specific Ratings (A-F):Entertainment – D ~ The announcer from 3D, or whatever it’s called is annoying, and seems to enjoy hearing herself talk.

Sounds like the DJ there must have been the same battleaxe that was in Monroe last month. If so, I can’t believe that no one has complained to Dave Palmer about her yet.

Too many trucks in one classification..I mean really guys,1900 to present!
Jeez Louise!!!…How about 1900-1960 & 1961 to Present
And too many mustangs.. They need more catagories for the Mustangs..
But i loved all the Mopars,especially my dream car,the General Lee!!! wave.gif

Overall Rating:BThis is a very enjoyable show, there are some little things they could do to make it better.
a class for fbody’s (Camaro/Firebird) would have been nice as well, there were enough there to justify having their own class just like the Mustangs have their own class (they are both pony cars). Instead the guys having late model fbody’s had to choose among 3 different classes that they could logically fit it. This led to some of the similar cars entering different classes because nobody knew what class to enter in. dontknow.gif
I agree with Blue Thunder, they could also break up the Stang class into 1964-1980 and then 1980 to present. The same could be said about the fbody class, if they ever decide to create an fbody class that is.
I have just a little different twist on how to break up the Mustang class.
I would suggest 1964- 1973 as one class, and 1974 – 1993 as the second class. Anything newer than 1993 should be in a general modern car class, along with other modern cars. Or, if the vehicle were truly a “special interest” car such as a Shelby GT500 or Jack Rousch Stage car, then the “special interest” class would be appropriate.At last weekend’s Edgerton Show, there would have been at least 15 or more cars in a 1964 t0 1973 Mustang class.
@JRHAWK9, beautiful Firehawk and Cutlass! How long have you owned them?
@Marshall, I hope they will adjust the classes a bit for next year. I remember hearing the guy say that they usually shift around at least one class each year
Quote:@JRHAWK9, beautiful Firehawk and Cutlass! How long have you owned them?thanks! The Firehawk I ordered new in ’99 and the Cutlass I bought for $300 back in 1989 when I was a junior in H.S. I pulled it out of a snow bank with a blown 260 and a rusty body. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew I was taking an autobody course at a local tech school and welding on new quarters and buying new “texas doors”. It’s been painted now for 17 years and the body is still in decent shape. It’s basically a “20 footer”, but it does take some decent pictures. It’s not bad for being done by a 17 year old kid with no money or the proper tools icon_cheesygrin.gif
You can read more about it and see a few pics of it in progress at the link in my sig.
Sounds like a great project and you have a lot of history with it as well! Do you often go to shows?
I probably only go to a couple shows a year. This year seems to be the exception though. Looks like I may be going to 4 or so before the year is done.
