Never been there and I have no desire to go.
From every article and story I have read about that event it is nothing more than a cluster f**k up there.
It’s more of an “Look at me be an idiot with my car” than a car show from what I have read.Looks great Jeff; give it some time winter isn’t over yet unfortunately.
I spend my time during the winter in the nice war workshop working on my R/C planes.[attachment=498]mikeyandstuka.jpg[/attachment]

Jeff,
Good memory; yep I had a dark green 37 Chevy coupe.
I got back into street rodding here about 5 years ago; bought a 48 Merc then sold it to get the 36 Chevy.
It’s a slant back so it has no trunk.
We will have to get together next year and talk because there are a number of things I would like to get done on the car next spring before hitting the shows for 2016.[attachment=476]dscn0436.jpg[/attachment]

SWEET Tell your dad Mike Pirkl said hello; I still remember you and your brother Tim when we would go to car shows together as a club; those we fun times.
Hope to see you and your shop in the near future Jeff; and best of luck with the new business.I say we should keep it; and encourage more of the users here to use it.
I use it myself when I want to attend a show I have never been to before in order to see how the show was run and what kind of vehicles turn out for it.
I especially like it when there are pictures posted so I know what the area will be like when I get there; shade or not, parking lot, grass, etc.I haven’t posted much this year myself simply because I have not been to many shows this year.
With September just around the corner and the car show season dwindling down to just a few shows here in the Midwest lets put this on everyone’s to do list for next year to post about the shows they went to next year and make 2016 a banner year for RATE THE SHOW.
I have been going to car shows since 1981; when I got into street rods. I have seen a lot of bad etiquette by the public at these shows. It doesn’t matter if you have stickers or signs on your vehicle that says do not touch; there is that small percentage out there that think it applies to others besides themselves.
Having a 1930’s car with running boards seems to pull these bad individuals like bees to honey to my car. I cannot tell you the number of times I had kids and some adults step up onto my running boards to look inside the vehicle. And hey it’s not like the car is 6 feet off the ground and hard to peer inside of it.
But the one that took the cake was years ago I was at a show with some club members when I saw a spectator open the door and climb inside of one of the members street rod.
He didn’t see me as he crawled inside of it but when I went to the car and looked at him and asked; “Hey is this your car?” and he replied “No”
I then said “Then get your sorry ass out of it before my buddy comes back and pounds the $%^& out of you.”
The gentlemen quickly retreated out of the vehicle and disappeared into the crowd.Garibaldi wrote:
