i understand you can't make everyone happy and putting on a show is alot of damn work. i know from experience. and i've come to realize there are two different types of show go-ers.
1. the kinda that build a car to win trophy's and go to shows to win trophy's
2. the kind that go to shows to hang out with friends and have a good time looking at cars

i think the best shows out there have something for everyone, something for the wives and kids, entertainment and a good preshow party. i will pay 20-25 bucks to go to a show anyday, and i hate when people make the effort to drive their car to a show and park outside. but 25 pre-registration and 35 day of show is a little much in my opinion. and i think the reason why there wasn't very many vendors is because the vendor registration was high as well. i also dont condone sneaking into a show....will

Funny thing is I pre-registered both our cars and neither
of them made it , but when I went to pick up the "way cool" goodie
bags they tried to give us the run-around, and told us to come back 3-4
times. Laughing

BTW: the show t-shirts were the worse I have ever seen in my life.

I hope all the people get back to the show and shine shows. $5 for a show, no judges, just good times. these show promoters are getting way ahead of themselves. they forgot what a car show is all about. lots of people however do make a big deal about showing off their rides, and I felt like this show had a great turnout.

I agree the show had a good turn out but it was a frickin rip off. 35 bucks for nothing. I got second place and did'nt even get a plastic trophy to melt in a camp fire! Hey I was second out of two busses and I want my plastic cheaply anodized China made trophy! Next year we park in the $5 spots and orqanize our own mini show. Lets stick it to the man!


There was only 2 split busses entered?
There were about 15 over in the grassy for sale section. Cool

Yea, only two in custom early bus. I saw Will's first attempt to sneak in I though he was going to try to drive through the ditch. Dude, I had my camera ready!

Smile Yes it was. There were quite a few bugs/vans/other out there. Did anyone get any pictures that interesting bug thing in the center of the field?
hmm, It looked like two vehicles in one and someone went overboard. It kind of looked like it was piggy-backing the other.

As soon as I find my camera, more photos will be posted. Anyone know a good photo sharing site besides photobucket?

If you're talking about the Bus-camper piggy-back deal, go to VW-homemade/abortions category and there are pic's in there.....
