I'm done with greedy guys events... I tried to enter the Rambler last year in the East Coast Nationals, and in order to register, you have to be a member.. it was going to cost me like $70 to enter it as I had to register as a goodguys member, and there was an extra fee for somthing else.. I asked the girl if there was any way I could cancel membership afterwards and she said no.. I then asked if Goodguys entry fee's supported any charaties, she said no, it paid for the show and support staff, I then said if it supported a charity I would enter, thanked her for her time and hung up... figuring the $30 entry fee, and the advertised 2,000 cars that's $60,000 in car registration.. then figure the $17 for spectators at 10,000 ( low number ) that's $170,000 which ends up as $230,000 + likely 10% of all food sales.. they probably pull in $300,000 per show easy..
I go to the Right coast cars shows. speciffically the S-nats.. $35 non member entry, bigger, better show. and they do have events in the show to support charities... and of course the local show that brings about 200 cars.. $6 car entry, and it supports NCOC which is the vocational school I took automotive atYou don't know what you've got til it's gone
