Great day for a show and it's nice to have a "Mopar show" so close to home.

In my opinion, the best of show should have gone to the "Richard Petty #43 RV"! :) :)

As long as they keep putting on this show--I will be there!

P.S. I really, really liked the T-shirts this year!! :)

Class Organization well broken down
Trophies & Prizes Always nice
Food bad

Dash Plaque always nice

Always like going out to this show! Mopars everywhere and a great drive out.

Not happy about best of show award given to club member. Nice car but still looks bad.

But will be back year after year. Good job!

Parking Location Nice blacktop parking lot
Class Organization Lots of classes and very well designated
Trophies & Prizes It appeared even the 3rd place trophy was over a foot tall
Food I've had better at this show before...
Entertainment Eh, same DJ playing the same doo-wop year after year. I think I'll invest in an iPod for next years show...
Judging Participant judging
Dash Plaque and it even had a cool car on it this year!
Variety of Cars Plenty of Mopars, but they also have an all-makes class for stock and modified
Bathrooms One porta potty was "Out of Order" because it was plugged. Things that make you go Hmm....
Weather Couldn't have had a better weekend for shows!
Trophy Presentation Timing They were a little behind as usual, but they did a good job of keeping it moving
Entry Fee $10

This was overall a pretty good show, it was a great day to be outside and there were plenty of awesome cars to see everywhere.

I only have a few recommendations:
-I don't really want to hear the lazy cub scouts getting yelled at by there parents when I'm buying lunch from them. I hear yelling 40+ hours a week, and Sundays are a no-yelling day.
-More porta-potties are needed, especially if someone is going to clog one up. Don't ask me how it was done, but it was closed off to the public and had and Out of Order sign on it. You are legendary in my book to accomplish this, I mean, who clogs a PP?!
-I know there is a lot of classes at this show, but I would recommend to find a better way to get the votes tallied up so the awards are on time. This has been an issue since I started attending this show in '03. I did like how they did the 50/50 and other raffles before the awards. They also gave out the Best of's before the class awards which was different.

There were kids going around selling Schwan's Ice Cream bars for a buck, and they were delicious!!!

Best of Show stock went to a yellow 70 AAR Cuda. Nonetheless a very nice car, but my pick was the white 71 Challenger that was a fully loaded 318 car still sporting the whitewalls and hubcaps!!

Congrats to Cuda Man and DDHemi on the wins with the 'Cudas today!!



Being the true-to-heart Mopar guy that I am, I'll be back next year!!!

Sounds like a nice show. Congrats to Dwight and Cuda Man on the wins, I imagine it's difficult to take home hardware at a show like this.

Plugging up the portables? Now that's a new one! :)

If you notice, ddhemi didn't comment on the bathroom situation. I'm pretty sure I saw him go in that porta potty earlier in the day with a Mopar magazine. He must have had some of that fine Boy Scout food! :) :laugh: :laugh:

If it wasn't so far away, I'd pitch my DJ service to them. I wonder how 3D Sound does it? Bad food at a car show is a problem. I mean, how can you screw up a dog or a burger? I've been to some where the "meat" was swimming in a Nesco, and never saw a grill. The only dogs that should be boiled are Chicago Style Dogs because those are all about the condiments anyway.

You just gave me a great idea. Thanks for the post, it's really helpful.
I usually look for some information on similar topics at
