Won't be making it this year. Was kind of disappointed at last year's show, especially with the vendor turnout. But, I will say the setting at the speedway is kind of .

I didn't go last year but I went the year before. I was really disappointed. I went to over 10 Bloomington Gold shows with my dad in the 80's and 90's when I was a kid and those were great. I hadn't been to one since 1999 and when we went in 2014 it was just sad. After hearing how it didn't change much even with the move to the Indy Speedway I don't have any desire to return.

I instead will be going to Corvette Funfest in Effingham, IL. It was much more enjoyable.

Bloomington Gold has way more venders then funfest and bigger swap area and more events with high quality cars. I am all about seeing a bunch of vettes and parts

You should take them both. My dad and I went up in his '94 and '78 Pace Car one year. It was a blast.
