Well to say this was the worst show ever would be a lie. Saying it needs a little work would be correct. To say it would be a flop before seeing the show was just plain wrong.

It was in effect a very well put on show with great people putting it on. They know they have work to do. They know they made a mistake by combining imports and tuners. They then surprised a few people and in fact had a Pre 1950 "tiquer" class. Special interest was its usual uninteresting self and there wasn't anything special about it either. But being a judged show this seemed a moot point.

After observing the judges at work in several classes, they proved themselves more than capable of their duties and did a fine job. The only problem was, not enough of them. The thing in their favor, not one had a car entered.

I talked with several groups of people and found no complaints that can't be handled by next year. Everybody said they were having fun, imagine that.

Not going to this Show and giving it an even chance was the mistake that many made, but alot more people proved that going was the start of great weekend. This was their best turn out to date and next year will be better.

Today was a very good day with a very good crowd at a well run and executed Car Show

Well Done.

  1. Its funny how we always seem to have a good time with no drama when certain people stay home.......
    The organizers did a hell of a job putting this show on in the face of some unwarrented, and totally un-nessesary bad mouthing. As you pointed out, they do need to do some work for next year, but upon talking to some of the staff (talking, not getting in their grills and going off)they seemed very receptive to, and thankful for any suggestions. The staff were very helpful, the location was nice and well organized, and the food was reasonably priced (Very good Chicken Sandwich).
    All in all a really good day!
    Kudos to Vineyard!
