Quote:We’re headed to Spring Green, love that show and the downtown atmosphere. Let’s hope the weather holds out!
Spring Green for me too! I also love the small town downtown shows. Look for a new Riv never seen before at the local shows!
Quote:We had a couple of rods come thru here late last night from Nebraska. The nut for one guys oil psi sensor had come off, so I hooked him up with a nut and washer, and an extra quart of oil for the trip “just in case” as he told me he was using this trip for his break-in miles :banana:When the guy asked me what he owed and I told him it was on the house, I thought he was gonna fall over. I explained to him that being a car guy myself, I’ve been in his shoes on more than one occasion.
He told me to look him up at the show, he’d buy me a beer thumbsup.gif
I agree, this is the way to treat people. Nice job Zac – you’ve earned my respect. thumbsup.gif
Quote:I gotta attend my annual family reunion in Rio on sunday BangHead.gifRio huh. That answers a lot of my questions. :drink:
Leaving tonight (Tuesday) for the Buick Club of America National Meet in Flint Michigan thumbsup.gif . I’m looking forward to checking out the GM Heritage Collection and the Sloan Museum. Have a nice weekend everyone wave.gif!
Large cup of coffee for the drive to the show… $1.36
Fuel consumed by the 455 to/from the show… $16
Watching moparkid25 hug an inflatable National Guardsmen during the trophy presentation… Priceless
All and all an enjoyable day and a nice show. I would echo all of the previous suggestions for next year, and would not hesitate to go back. My preference is for a judged show, but participant judging is O.K. every once in a while as well…
Quote:Oh Yeah, I forgot to mention in one of Amigo’s pictures that the dude scrubbin’ that IROC is lookin’ pretty good…. wave.gifIf you ask me, get that dude a sandwich or something…yikes icon_cheesygrin.gif
Jellystone Park appears to be a cool location and it sounds like a fun weekend. This show will be on my list for next year…
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – B, signage directing show cars would be more helpful.
Parking Location – B+, the downtown location is great, but as Amigo2k mentioned the parking set-up was a little weird. Not very organized with helping cars get parked.
Class Organization – B
Trophies & Prizes – B, small plastic trophies – your standard fare
Food – A, had a full breakfast w/coffee at a local diner for $5.50! That’s my kind of place. Also, Taste of Monroe happening on the opposite side of the downtown square. Looked like a great variety of food.
Entertainment – C, DJ from 3-D Sound Company. He continually droned on about Krispy Kreme donuts in the late afternoon. Very annoying. Decent variety of music played throughout the day however – not just the “oldies”
Judging – B+, several local car show regulars stepped up to help with the judging. I thought they did a nice job.
Dash Plaque – B+, I was car #7 and had to ask the folks at the registration table if they were giving any away this year. They had forgotten to get them out of the car! Sorry Amigo2k, you should have received one.
Variety of Cars – B+, a nice mix – some you have seen before and some that you haven’t.
Bathrooms – B+, no trouble finding a porta-potty.
Weather – A-, the weather was gorgeous just about all day until about 3 PM when a storm blew in. The best part was driving from Mt. Horeb to Monroe in the morning. No one on the road and perfect weather!
Trophy Presentation Timing – A, they were right on time and kept it moving
Entry Fee – A, $12 – pretty standard and a fair price
Overall Rating:BA very enjoyable location for a car show. The organizers are a bit inexperienced, as I think there is a new group running the show. Hopefully people will not get discouraged and continue to patronize this show. Show car attendance was definitely down from previous years. Spectator traffic was very good. It was nice to see many forum members in attendance – moparkid25, GTOMan, Garibaldi, DDhemi. I will go back again next year…
Quote:The only best of award I’ll get this year will probably be “Best Looking MOPAR Guy”, it seems to be an easy award for me to win!!!That’s true, provided they have a “Super Flyweight” (90 – 110 lbs) class!
Quote:I’ll be at the Don Miller MOPAR show on Sunday….if it doesn’t rain BangHead.gifDo they let Camaro’s enter an all-MOPAR show? If they do, I’ll bet you win best of show! Drogar-BigGrin(LBG).gif
Quote:Ryan’s right, “Mud Hole”.I also agree with Ryan. For me, Jefferson is nothing but a bunch of yahoos and junk.
(No offense if you consider yourself to be a yahoo)
