Posted by Mick Cope in the thread in the General Forum, he works with Scott putting on the show and runs the swap meet at Monster Mopar.
It should help eliminate some of the speculation.

Mick here. I've been organizing the Monster Mopar show with Scott for the last 25 years. I know there are a lot of rumors about this years show. I have been talking with Scott and here's what I can tell you. Scott is pretty determined to have the show in the St. Louis area rather than take it on the road. We have done several out of town shows in the past ,Indy, Joliet, and Tennesee to name a few. Putting a show on away from home incurs a lot of added expense, hotels, fuel,extra help, etc. All of those costs come right off the bottom line and moving a show to a new location is always a gamble. Joliet would be a good choice for this year but the two years past that we did put on a show there we met with some resistance from the track and no cooperation from any of the local clubs when we tried to recruit help for set-up, judging , etc. All that being said, we are working to finalize the details on a location in the St. Louis area. We have another meeting with the facility manager coming up and I hope to be able to post this year's date and location very soon. If this deal does work out Monster Mopar will be a car show and swap meet only this year. We feel that is better than to have no show at all. And hopefully we can find a new home for next year with a track so that we can return Monster Mopar to the show you all have made possible for the last 26 years !
Take care !
Mick
