The way it reads if you have a pass you get in before 8:30
I didn’t read it the way you did. I read it to say that they’ve given up on the passes. They’ll still honor the few they gave out and if you get there before 8:30 they’ll let you in as promised, but it’s otherwise business as usual. I don’t think the ‘doors are…[Read more]

So, my advice is to bring great cars. Do not bring a car that takes up a spot inside the event that forces a great car to park in the spectator parking area.
I think that’s the issue and always has been.
Thanks again Eric for hosting this event and putting up with the 3487 differing opinions on how it should be run.…[Read more]

Direct cars into their designated areas a little better but of course have some flexibility for over flow. Carve out 5 spots in the modern muscle section and reserve them until 10am in the event some truly awesome/unique car(s) show up regardless of make/model. I think most of us can make a spot decision as to whether a car is…

To avoid douchebag elitist pricks, I probably should.
Nice stereotyping.
I think you and Kevin need to agree that neither of you will ever change the others mind, and move on. There’s probably a PM function on this board and you can duke it out all you want. Your view is that you get there first, it’s yours. Kevins view…[Read more]

Out of all of those posts, only ONE was mad about getting turned away because he showed up at 8.
That’s not true. He wasn’t mad because he was turned away at 8:00, he was mad because he was turned away and there were spaces left in the Italian row…..

Hey Kevin, my grandfather used to tell me “Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig”.
I’ve redefined my definition of ‘car guy’ based on this thread. Sad, after 50 years I thought I had it down.
On a lighter note, I’ve attached a dancing banana!
AND PS to Eric Maas: THANK YOU for this show! You’ve created a…[Read more]

Kevin is correct, very FEW of the cars in the Italian row are dealer cars. And if you want to exclude them, you wouldn’t have been able to see the Aventador or the new Ferrari FF.
And hey Taxman, do I have it correct that you’re miffed because somebody you know got turned away? Really? Wow, you’re a good friend. I’m also curious how many Mustangs…[Read more]
