It has been a popular topic this year. How are the local car shows rating? MANY if not all of us are disappointed to put it politely.
I WANT SOME PARTICIPATION AND FEEDBACK ON THIS FROM EVERYONE.
Here are the complaints heard:
-Too many categories. (some have had 25-40 categories) (there should be no categories, simply award the top __ however many trophies there are-and only the public should vote)
-Ridiculous categories. (longest vehicle, furthest traveled, and my favorite: best import--AT A CLASSIC CAR SHOW!!!)
-Insisting on waiting until the last minute end of the show to do the trophies.
-The quality or complete inexperience of the judges. (some are employees of a sponsor, most choose by personal preference and not quality points, let the public spectators choose)
-Conflicting dates (there have been as many as 4 shows at the same date and time in different cities)
-Mixing of ricers/imports, low riders, bikes, trucks, etc.
-Allowing new vehicles into a "classic car show". (Like Leander for instance. Look at what has happened to the CP meet)
I want everyones opinion and ideas on this, as it is quickly becoming an issue, and may cause problems at upcoming shows.
I have many friends with new cars and trucks, and this is not outing anyone, just classifying show categories.
These are not necessarily my opinions. This is a compilation of discussions from MANY people at shows this year.
Many are ready to start boycotting the shows that don't change their ways. What say you???
