South County Park on Route 179 South, Lambertville, New Jersey is the venue.

"1,000 show cars in 2014!" is our goal.

Suckerpunch Suzie with special guests will be performing in the afternoon and into the evening. The party cover band will also emcee FSHS’s resurrection of a fabled Flemington Speedway promotion, “Purple Night.” $500 dollars in door prizes and trophies will be awarded for the best costumes.

reminded me again next month, maybe i will take my son and or family and think about if i want to pay $10 to spectate when most shows are free including the 4-h fair

Justified

You pay 10 bucks to park at the 4h fair. So its the same thing. And its a good show.

I don't remember paying to park at the 4h fair. Who gets the $10

Justified

At the 4h fair its the fire co. I don't know at this show. Because I enter my car and don't see who is parking the cars, It 10 per car load. You can afford that...

Humanoid 2.0

yes, but i like it to go to charity and not beer money for some car club

Justified

Well Im in tight with the sponsor's Ill let them know.

So is the "free" parking a donation or just going to be free? Or you had no pull?

I can see paying for the show if I were showing, costs of trophy's that I'd want to win and everything that goes along with it. I've been in many shows in the days of lifted trucks and always had to pay to be in the shows. As a spectator I can't see paying, and from being in many shows the shows that charged to get in had very poor attendance and they never lasted too many years. I can afford $10.00 but I can also go to other free car shows and walk around.

Just my .02, Not $10.00

Yea, that was my point as well unless it was to raise money for sick kids or something. Let spectators in for free, charge vendors money for space, have a 50/50 or something. Sell t-shirts, etc.

having seen many places in nj start forcing venues to get a permit, hire emt's, hire security, and so on, ten bucks seems like a fair value for a family outing all afternoon.

And a live band. Its 10 per car load. So its like 3 or 4 bucks. To look at a lot of cars and vendors .

Humanoid 2.0

Any strippers to look at

Eppieguy

I can only fit one additional passenger in the Vette, it's not like the old days at the drive in where we could stuff many in the truck, we don't even have a trunk!

How many cars are expected? Is there enough there (food, vendors, etc.) for the show to be worth the price of admission? I don't really care about the music.

Same here, I would guess a NJ Redneck Garage band.

They are hopping for a 1000 cars this car. Around 700 last year.
