I didn't bother to read the whole thread - but the younger guys (under 40)that are into pre war hot rods (not street rods) - which I am in that group - these guys do not car about this rule. We are more into events like Billetproof, The Roundup, etc.

I went to Louisville a few times - drove up in my roadster from FL. There is NOTHING to do there - no nightlife around the fairgrounds - no young people doing anything. You have the standard sit around the parking lot BS session until about 10pm - and thats it.

The last time I went, 2006, I brought a girl with me, stayed at a nice hotel downtown, went the the show for about 3-4 hours on Friday, 4 hours on Sat...and spent the rest of the time in Downtown going to attractions, museums, wandering around downtown, hitting up the bar/club scene at night and sleeping until 10-11 each morning.

I've seen enough pastel green '47 chevy sedans with 15" billet wheels to last a lifetime.
