Yup I was just up on the hill. I’ll try to remember to take a photo like that at some future shows….
I went to this today. 2 Ferrari’s (one newer and one 1951), 5 porches (a mix of years), 1 newer Lambo, a Lotus, an Evo, a Jag, a couple of BMW’s, and a charger. I rolled in at about 8AM and everyone rolled around 9AM. Nice to see some rare exotic cars.
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A. Lots of signs, so it was easy to find your way.Parking Location – I got there early enough and found a spot in the shade (under a tree and sap on my car, oh well, it comes off easily). It was a little dusty, since we have not had much rain lately so it was not a surprise.
Class Organization – I thought my class was pretty good, since there was an import class. Folks from the cruiser club were not judged, which was nice and I think other shows put on by clubs should do the same (I think most of them do this).
Trophies & Prizes – They were running a bit behind, and I think it took like an hour to give out the awards, but there were a lot of awards. There were 4 trophies given out for the import/tuner section. The 1st 3 went to tuners and the 4th went to the guy with the Ghia. I don’t know if they did this on purpose or not? The Ghia hands down was the best of the older imports. A couple of other older imports (fiats), entered in the special interest group so I might see if they will let me in that group next year.
Food – Lots of options. Pizza, Arby’s roast beef sandwiches, subs, ice cream bars, burger and brats.
Entertainment – A DJ and Elvis singer guy. I’m OK with just a DJ (It would be nice if they could play some stuff from the 70’s and 80’s too… I think we should start a post to suggest some car songs for the 70-80s…. heck the 90s too!)
Judging – It was nice to read what they were judging on.
Dash Plaque – got one.
Variety of Cars – A bunch. Only like 2 old Mustangs (not counting the 2 with the Cruisers). No Cadillacs. about 12 low rider trucks, and 12 import tuners (I like these cars as long as they have some mods, but if they drive in their Moms new civic I don’t think it is really fair, because how will they not get a super high score?).
Bathrooms – No issues, plenty of porta johns.
Weather – A little warm, but there was a nice breeze
Trophy Presentation Timing – 15 minutes off, and they started out just announcing the names of the winners and not including their cars, and also they announced the the letter of their section and didn’t announce the section (I’m nit picking …..)
Entry Fee – 10 bucks. Pretty standard
Overall Rating:A-
The only small thing was the awards but that is a pretty small thing. They had many different things going on, real nice door prizes, vendors (I don’t know if this show is big enough for vendors?), they burned some stuff (FIRE FIRE <Bevis>). I think the Cruisers put on a very nice show, with lots of things you find at the bigger shows. As long as I’m available I’m planning on attending next year!
