Cardinals Stadium, Sun Mar 16.
What a waste of a show entry fee. Shouldve blown it off OR NOT "followed the rules" and signed up for the Saturday then went BACK on Sunday as no doubt at least a couple did. Saturday was for "old cars" and Sun for "new cars". Dont remember the year breakdown. Well there were three "old cars" there on Sun and two got Top Ten Awards.
All week there was a threat of rain, which also had me wishing I hadnt signed up or at least not Sun. Rain didnt come, but it was fairly chilly. Got sprinkles near the end, just enough to water spot the car. Grr!
Also, NEVER believe a promotor who says, "spaces are filling up fast". Lastly, never enter a show that doesnt have some kind of charity the show fee goes to.
I was "extended a special invitation" for this show because I was in the Westgate show last Oct, my first show. It was limited to 80 cars each day. As you see, there wasnt squat there. If it hadnt been for a stupid Mazda club there wouldve been even less.
Free admission to the "Toy Show" but so what? Just a bunch of hawkers and barkers trying to snare you into crap. I DID however, manage to salvage the weekend by going. More on that in another post.
