The reason there are more Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, and Corvettes is because there are more car enthusiasts who own these. The exotics that were turned away or are parking in the overflow section are there because they chose to show up late. Get there on time, and there is always a spot. Maybe YOU want to see the exotics, but a lot of people love to see good old American Muscle cars too. The reason CnC is so successful is because all the different car clubs participate. If you took out the American cars clubs or the import car clubs, CnC would consist of a few exotics and an empty parking lot. Just enjoy the show, and if you don’t like Mustangs or Corvettes, walk down another aisle.

Eric asked for us to give our opinions and critiques, if you don’t like mine that’s your right. The fact of the matter is that 50-70% of the lot is filled with American Muscle Cars. I don’t know if you are aware of this, but anything over 50% is considered a “majority”. I understand that all sorts of cars and car clubs show up but if you have one region of cars that takes up the “majority” of the space, it overshadows everybody else.

I urge all car clubs to organize before each meet and find out who all is going. Then have your group decide who should and shouldn’t park in the lot. Most of all, people should use common sense.

I don’t have a problem with American Muscle cars at all. I do have a problem with having so many of the same type there. Next time you go just watch people. They walk past all the stock/nearly stock muscle cars unless it has been highly customized or is a classic. Myself and others feel like you walk by and have the “seen one, you’ve seen them all” type feeling.

Lastly, maybe YOU want to see the American Muscle cars but a lot of people love to see the exotics. The reason CnC is so successful is because all the different car clubs participate. If you took out the imports and exotics, CnC would look like a Ford dealership. Remember. just enjoy the show.

The problem is that the “American Muscle” overflows their sectioned aisles, and choke up the foreign car side and any place they can find to park.

Agreed.
