Glad you were able to join us, love the pictures! We did have a nice turnout ~ over 40 cars for the first night! Lots of new people this year, which is always nice to see! The next few weeks will get even better!
I think they’ve tried to keep Automotion about older cars and have a year limit of 1989 and older. The group of friends I was with also thought having a one day show might eliminate some of the problems that occurred this year. It’s amazing what a little (or lot) of alcohol can make a person do!
Years ago when I first attended this show it was in the city streets and at a local park, I can’t imagine that now.I would like to see a cruise through town instead of the back roads like they do. It may be difficult to organize, but the sheer number of cars at this event would make an amazing cruise through the city streets.
I gave it a B…. Noah’s Ark is a great place to have the event, the parking was nice and organized. I would suggest they have the swap in the lower half of the lot and park the cars closer to the top. I’m not sure how they did their judging as we never saw a judge walk around and some of the cars that won were a bit questionable. I don’t know how you can judge 1000+ cars fairly. The award stickers didn’t go over too well with many. It was nice to know you won, but also took the fun out of the awards. Many people left early as they knew they weren’t going to win and it was a mute point to stick around for nothing.
The weather has been really good the last couple years, let’s hope Automotion 2007 takes place!
Well bummer! I was around the car most of the weekend, Sunday I was probably on the other side of the green 63 Impala. Next time!
Well, maybe someone that was directly in the area in the above pictures can shed some light on the subject. I’ve been told various things. The last I heard the police parked cars at both ends of the street to get the crowd under control and pretty much videotaped everything that went on.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good time and fast cars, but situations like this are what RUINS many, many events. More than one person told me there is a chance Automotion 2007 will not happen because the crowds have gotten so large and out of hand. I wonder how many that participated in Saturday nights events even bothered to attend the show inside the park. I was surprised at the number of 18-20 year olds with cars less than 2-3 years old (especially Mustangs) that didn’t seem to have a care in the world.
I’ve also been told it would be easier if the Dells would just cooperate and let the kids have their fun for a couple hours and be done with it. I’m sure insurance and liability issues are a huge factor.
Nice! It was an awesome weekend, the weather was perfect except for the rain last night, but it didn’t stop too many. Over 1100 cars on Saturday and around 600-800 today, it was hard to tell. Sunday is always the slower day, but there was more than one show today. Seeing all the cars cruise around last night and the people lining the streets was unbelievable! The Dells makes lots of money off this event and unfortunately late Saturday night some kids got out of hand and everything had to be shut down.
We had a great time though, there is nothing better than being surrounded by all those cars and the people the love them! icon_cheesygrin.gif
I got to meet Marshall too! Loved that!
Make sure to stop by and introduce yourself this weekend! We’re heading out Friday afternoon, looking forward to it!
YES! We had about 15 cars there! Slow night for the first night, but I’m hopeful this weather will switch around TODAY!
Heavy rain came through for about 15-20 minutes and then it was beautiful after that. Join us!So far….

You got that right! We’re going up Friday afternoon no matter what the weather is. A weekend with friends and NO kids, I don’t care if it rains, but I’d prefer at least 40 degrees warmer!
