    Specific Ratings (A-F):
    Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – ~ Nice cool morning drive again, well marked
    Parking Location – You could park with your group, which is always nice.
    Class Organization – There was no organization and with a show this big, it would be nice.
    Trophies & Prizes – I don’t think they gave away any door prizes, I didn’t hear anything. The cash prizes at the end were nice. The trophies are always the biggest of the shows around here which makes some people happy and I heard others say they had no where to put it. I like them!
    Food – Good selection, very reasonable prices!
    Entertainment – The DJ played a great selection of old and new! I could hear most of it all day long.
    Judging – They did a good job, I’d hate to try and find all those cars in the heat so spread out.
    Dash Plaque – It’s huge!
    Variety of Cars – Awesome!
    Bathrooms – Plenty of portble ones, along with actual ones. :)
    Weather – Perfect! A bit hot later on, but I’ll take it!
    Trophy Presentation Timing – They were running a little late, but kept it moving well.
    Entry Fee – $10, your typical
    Overall Rating:B+ I really like this show and think they do a good job.

    I do have a couple things I don’t like and that’s being told what class you should be in at the gate, that takes up too much time and I like to choose my class. I can’t imagine they know much about what’s under the hood when it’s closed (I was told I had a highly modified engine, and we all know that’s far from the truth). I also feel the trophies should be spread out a little more and/or add more to the larger classes. The Chevelle/GTO/Lemans class was HUGE and to give away 6 trophies for 40-50 cars was tough. The other classes looked big also, I’m sure the Mustang class was the same.

    The burnout contest at the end is one of the best parts of the show. I took some pics to share with you all, the crowd really gets involved with it, that’s one of the things that makes this show stand out from others. A car my husband restored years back has won the last two years. We look forward to going back every year.

    There was a separate class for Mustangs (Class J) and there were alot of cars, but not nearly as many as Blanchardville. I wanted to compliment the judging team that did the Mustang class. They were thorough, professional, and followed the judging checksheet very closely. The Best of Show winners in the Mustang class were my picks also. Even though my car was not competitive, I agreed with the judges choices completely.
