Default Why do we go last???

I've been going to Vettes at Carlisle for many years but don't think it's fair that although most of us spend a considerable amount of money on mods, our weekend is the last weekend in August. maybe we can petition the owners to at least move us to the middle of the summer.
Just my thoughts Please share yours ESPECIALLY OUR VENDORS!
Regards to all,
Jeff

Maybe they figure that any mods bought will be good projects for the winter months and that the show being that late is a good way to put a cap on the summer months.

Don't think of it as "last" think of it as "main event"
