IS this worth attending this weekend. I have a hotel room for the weekend up there but don't see much talk about it. Is this worth the effort to attend or not?? Have not seen anything here about it.

Just got a text,the place is packed and they sent the index series HOME! That place was faaaaaarrrrrr from packed maybe 110-120 cars racing. Maybe 40-50 cars in the show field most of them being new cars. 7 vendors selling in the swap meet. They didn't start racing till after 12. It's a poorly run event. 5 years ago the show was much better 35-40 vendors, lots of race/show cars and something to build on. Maybe the heavy rain overnight scared people away but it was out of the area and sun shining at 7:30 am. For those who went last year the show was even smaller than that....

I was there on the show field. I agree, far from packed. We had rain that stopped around 5:00am so maybe that made the difference. I attended most of these events, the 1st show in 2011. Big Daddy was there, raced the chally, and signed all of the trophies for the car show winners. The next year, Ray Barton judged the car show and 422 Motorsports was invited to race. The remaining shows, no personalities or added attractions were present. They had a hemi challenge this year but it was for late models. Although they were fast, I guess I'm old school and would have liked to see more classis race cars rather than late models. No SS/AH cars were present. I did hear that they ran them on Friday night in between rain and drying the track. I think they got 1 round in. Why in the he!! didn't they run on Saturday like usual as the weather was predicted to be perfect? Someone screwed up there. Those cars are a draw for me and most I talked to were disappointed they were not there.
I attended 5 of these events there since 2011 and before the awards, Lex Duda says next year will be even bigger. It hasn't and don't expect it will ever be. Doubt I'll attend this event next year unless things change.
