    I'll see you guys at the show. I live close by the show field and would prefer to sleep a little later after taking in the Wings and Wheels in Chicopee the day before.

    It was a good, fun show. The Bowtie Boys and Girls were very friendly and compliments were frequent. The show was about the size of Mustang Mania, but lots more giveaways and raffle prizes. They definitely drew way more foreign, antique and non-GM cars at this show than we drew foreign, antique and non-Ford cars at MM this year. They had way more sponsors, too, as well as vendors. Many of the vendors were non-vehicle-related (as they were yesterday at Wings and Wheels, too), but Town Faire had a big display and gave away a $1500 gift certificate in a raffle. It was a peer judged show, but I pretty much thought the right cars won the classes, though I didn't always agree with who got which out of 1st, 2nd and 3rd. But that's true of most car shows. Their trophies and awards also outclassed ours if you judge them by their ability to impress. That being said, the award size/quality doesn't matter much to me - but I know it does to some people.

    This was my first time attending and I was favorably impressed.

    Bruce, You were spot on with your assessment of the show especially your comparisons to Mustang Mania.
    Glad you had fun. Sorry I couldn't make it to at least walk around. I was too busy pressure washing the house and doing other chores.

    I may be interpreting honest criticism the wrong way but they probably ALSO had way more club members lending a helping hand than we did at Mustang Mania or TASCA Weekend.

    I thought that the trophies for our show this year were awsome!!! I'd much rather have what we had than a trophy any day of the week.

    Correct - it was intended to be an honest comparison, not criticism. I do think they probably put more effort into finding sponsors and prizes. They were pulling raffle tickets all day and posting the numbers on a winner board that you could go check periodically. I would say they had a couple of hundred raffle prizes - enough that almost everyone who entered won something. Their sponsors tend to be from places with deeper pockets, too.

    I suspect they are better organized because they spend the day before the show setting up the field at Hill House. My guess would be we don't have that option at the Bud plant. They also have a club meeting to stuff the huge goodie bags that everyone gets.

    They definitely had way more members in the (huge) club tent than we get helping us. Because it's peer judged (surely not necessarily a better method than we use these days at MM) they can devote all of their members to directing parking, running registration, etc, etc. Also true, later in the day they have way more ballots to count, but the show is in full swing by then and less people are needed on the field.

    Let me be clear that in no way was I trying to put down Mustang Mania or those who organize it and put it on. Just offering what I believe to be an honest comparison. As for Tasca Weekend, drag racing isn't really my thing so I don't go and can't offer any thoughts there or comparison there.

    I don't disagree, Todd. Just saying that theirs were very impressive if that's what you care about. I couldn't care less, personally. Just to be clear, the trophies and awards for this show totally covered four 8-foot long tables and they trophies were big and fancy. I'm not trying to cause trouble here - just reporting, as I asked a lot of questions hoping I might glean something we could use or learn from. Please don't shoot the messenger.

    I also liked the show as well. Very organized and one thing I did like was the rows of cars arranged by class with #'s for each row that matched the #'s on the ballot. There was no searching around for cars in each class.They were all lined up together so you could see them at the same time and make a better judgement of each car. Although I get beat by a Mustang with Lambo doors and hand painted plastic tanks(ouch!!!) it was a fun day.No knock on our club at all, just liked the way it was set up.
