Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – Plenty of signs, and easy to find. I got there at about 8:30.Parking Location – Lots of shade, and sun if you wanted it. I had a nice spot where my car was mostly in the sun, and my chair was in front of the car in the shade all day. My only issue with my parking spot (and the others around me) was that they had one spot coned off, and signs saying “no parking”. They did this so the cars (like mine) in the second row could leave if they wanted to. Unfortunately another car owner drove by and thought that would be a great spot for his car (which would of been fine if he was at his car all day and willing to move it, which he did once).
Class Organization – none
Trophies & Prizes – Lots of nice Trophies (congrats to Steve, and Jeff/Tammy with their Mopar win). The door prizes looked a little weak I prefer car related items.
Food – Great. for 4.25 it will get you a burger, corn and a soda.
Entertainment – I was not impressed with the sat radio also. The main issue is that it was from one generation of music (the 1950-1960’s). They did make a huge improvement over last year with 2-3 wireless units (maybe they have a serius sat system at each wireless system to help stop the delay to the wireless systems?)
Judging – yup they did it.
Dash Plaque – Got one. I personally like it when they have the double stick tape on the back since I stick them up in my garage.
Variety of Cars – Over 350 cars showed up. Lots of everything.
Bathrooms – I think if they would toss in one more on each end they would be fine.
Weather – Prefect.
Trophy Presentation Timing – don’t know. I drove out at 3, to head to downtown Madison to watch the second half of the badger game.
Entry Fee – 10 for judge, 5 for show. I like this option for the larger shows.
Overall Rating:A Great show that was even better this year. When I was in line waiting for my parking spot a gentleman named Anthony who is a Missionary in Africa asked if he could jump in my car with me. I said sure and we chatted for a few minutes about how he use to own a bug back in Africa.

Good rant!
I’m glad you have cops there, to step in if needed. Some people in this world just don’t get it.
