There is an annual car show in the town next to me. I never used to go because the entrance fee was something like twenty bucks a person just to get in. My upholstery guy told me that if I took my muscle car, the entrance fee was ten bucks and it came with two passes. So, I entered the car and took my wife to the show, and it only cost me ten bucks instead of forty.

I don’t think any of us are upset at the people that need scooters- weather they look like it or not. If I see someone on a scooter that’s designed for medical/age reasons I don’t gave an issue at all. These people are usually respectful of the crowds.

What I am upset/annoyed about is the golf carts that weave up and down the swap meet aisles. The ATV’s that cruise around people in the show field- there are a lot of people walking the show. I saw several examples of people jumping off of bikes/atv’s like the duke boys jumping in the general. No reason for them to be driving up and down the show or swap meet aisles.

I understand Ames having carts to load/unload parts in the swap meet.

Designated parking by each section is a great compromise.

As far as not allowing the public into the show- We wonder why kids don’t want our cars yet we don’t want the public to see them??

I prefer the cruise in. Come and go at your leisure- anyone can attend. We had a great one but it recently shut down. The promoter charged to park in the area with security, food trucks, etc so people ended up parking outside the roped off area. Eventually the club could not afford to rent the parking lot. I went when I could- even if it was to pay my fee, drive a loop and go home
