Autorama

Maybe it’s just me, but the show as a whole seemed weak this year. Tons of space between isles, and the isles were really short. What’s up with these guys charging $100 for a diecast car on the back?? It just looked like the interest wasn’t there like in past years. Sad

I couldn't agree more.
 
You are making me want to go! I hate getting cramped up in the isles and I stopped buying diecast when I got a license to drive!
 
Anyone know if they were handing out summit discount codes?? Need a few items totaling about a grand. 10% would be cool.
 
I was in this show from 99-2015. This year was by far the thinnest I’ve ever seen. You could drive a semi in the isles. Back in the day, there was maybe 8ft isles. My guess is, they were down a few hundred cars. It became more work in the later years than it was fun. The workers all seemed pissed at the world during the move in and that it was no fun at all. I’m sure the job is not in, but if you hate it that much, why sign up for it every year?

Just my 2 cents.

There were some awesome “great 8” cars.

There were definitely fewer headturners this year, in my opinion. I walked through the entire show and I didn't stop to look nearly as often as I have in the past.

I had heard the same thing from a few guys that went on Friday. Pretty much convinced me to stay home and work.
 
You could tell there was more space but it was nice to not be shoulder to shoulder too. The one thing I'll say is that hellcat registration should be banned, way too many

I would not have even thought to put mine in the unrestored current class. They were in a class like that. Silly. As far as entries go, I hope this isn’t the generation gap rearing it’s ugly head on our hobby.
