Thread: What do you look for in a Car Show?

Tweet

I lived in Wisconsin for 6 months a couple years ago and there was a tractor show at the local Fire Dept yard. I hadn't spent any time much with tractors, but when I got there, those darned things really got my attention. I think they had maybe 20 tractors of all types displayed and I spent several hours looking them over and talking to the owners about them. My point is, don't disallow anything that has tires on it. Also, if I were putting on a show, I would have a place for "works in progress" that would be allowed to sit on a trailer.

Don said have hours of 9 to 1. I disagree with this, because I remember when I was a young man and had to work every Saturday until 1:00 PM. It used to make me very unhappy that events closed at 1:00 and I wouldn't get to attend. If you want to shorten it up to less than 8 hours, at least run it from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM so everybody has a chance to make it to the show.

As far as grouping the cars, I like to see all the individual marques together. All the Fords together, all the Chevys together, etc. That way, if I'm not interested in looking at Cadillacs, I don't have to wade through them to get to the Hupmobiles.

I also might be thinking about having 3 or 4 gnarly dudes in the background with night sticks to handle any problems that might arise. Better safe than sorry.
