Default Bloomington Gold in June

I will be attending the Bloomington Gold at Phesant Run on June 17, and will go on the Saturday night cruise. 2k+ Vetts all with people waving.
First, I really like the restored and survivor cars and the work required to gather and restore these cars to original specs. People (and cars) like mine will get only as far as parking out on the golf course.
Maybe if we ask real nice NCRS can create a "Gold BUBA Certified". We could actually start a count to see how many Vetts Bubba has Owed. Mine would qualify in a number of areas that I have yet to De-Bubafy. Just a thought. This is not intended to run down or criticize any segment of Vett owners, or restorers. Just me muzing on a warm day wishing I was out driving.

There should be another Forum parking area this year as there was last year. Great time. Do a search and you can read about it and stay tuned for more info for this year.

1. I won't be there. Bloomington today is so far removed from Bloomington of the Great Days, it makes me cry. I was through the entire swap in 45 minutes last year. In days gone by, it would have taken all day.

2. You pay to drive in a parade?

3. NCRS doesn't "Gold" anything, but Bloomington Gold does. Two different organizations.

4. If I was as close as you are, I'd go. It would be foolish not to. But it is foolish to drive 1000 miles for what is not any bigger than a local swap meet now.
