Bought apparel and visited Adams tent-annual thing- went to find a possible first car for my oldest boy. WTH happened to the car corral? Sad. I tried convincing him a big block valiant in the pavilion was a good choice. He said he would get "flamed"?? Every day.

Not a very good indication about the quality of the show when the highlight was the pub afterwards.

Makes me really want to spend my money for the hotel, food, transportation costs, and show entry after hearing the best part of the show was the pub you went to after you left the show.

Reminds me of why I used to buy on Fridays and then sell on Saturdays. Saved on motel bills too.

Well I sold a whole $50 worth today, worst Saturday of any swap I have ever had! Hot as he11 with no breeze most of the day, the traffic was not nearly as it usually was. Good thing I am done with this whole swap meet selling thing after 35 years... realcrazy

First off I didn't bring my D150 because I made the mistake of believing the weather forecast and was real happy too see that they moved the early Dodge trucks from up on the hill to by the grandstands. I delivered a few things I sold online, and picked up a few things from A&A Transmissions that I need when the motor goes back in the race car . Being mainly a racer usually don't buy much in the swap meet but I still wander thru . A friend of mine did real well selling.

I got back last night from the show. I bought some 69 Charger quarter panels, and the new AMD A-pillars for the car. I will say a couple things bothered me this year. One was loudmouth guys that have to swear at the top of their lungs in front of little kids, two was all of the golf carts/ mobility carts that were everywhere, cutting you off and basically making a nuisance everywhere they went. Oh, and one more thing: no matter what political opinions you have, can we at least have a nice car show without all of the B.S. signs everywhere? Getting tired of politics invading everything 24/7.

The mobility carts out numbered the show cars this year, hands down. I am understanding that we all get older and some of us refuse to give up a hobby that we love, and I say good to you! But......there were tons of people driving these around like they were little Teslas with auto drive capabilities. Lots of inconsiderate operators just stopping right in the middle of the lanes also, not pulling over/out of the way. Also, I noticed a ton of really young kids and infants this year as well. The majority of them were crying or even screaming because they were so uncomfortable. Its just too damn hot to be bringing kids to a show like this and expect them to keep up.

I left at about 130 yesterday. Was it me or did anyone notice the amount of empty show field spots in the classic zone? Lots of modern representation.

I totally agree with Hudson .. enough with the political statements.... I always try to stay neutral .... its a car show not a campaign rally and the mobility carts... there was a girl having a seizure laying on the floor in one of the buildings by the mens room .. the bathroom attendant ran and got a fan to keep her cool and he called for help , he was running an extension cord out amongst all the people I grabbed the end to help him and I plugged the fan in ... evidently the cord was keeping someone on a scooter from moving and somebody said "the scooter can't get out " really ??? I would think someone having a medical emergency is a little more important !!

Not trying to be critical but just giving my observation. All I can say is things have definitely changed from just a few years ago. Not many people really searching through the parts like in the past. No frenzy or drive to get from one space to the next. Most just walked by and didn`t seem to bother. Car corral was thinner than in the past for sure. Lots of the vendor space was taken up with personal vehicles and campers. Still enjoyed it as usual.
