I might have a look around when I am working, but I would never pay to go. I payed a few years back, and I was very disappointed. I didnt care much for 4 bangers, and a 1996 Grandsport Vette that wasnt even real.

I went last night. The show is getting smaller and smaller. You could look at all the cars in around an hour or so. I dont know why but this show seems to be getting worse. There were a few nice cars like a 1967 vert 427. Not many vette's at all, and yes there were imports.

I was at the show Friday, and if you compare the show to any of the last 4 or 5 years, this show is really improving. This show was getting to be a Ricer show, but not this year. The show is more like the old Speed Sport days. I think the car displays were down this year, because of the bad name the show has from the past 4 or 5 years. I bet the show is packed next year, just like the old days in the Automotive building. Anyway, is $15.oo enrty fee going to break your bank? Just kidding, go to the show, you will be surprised at the number of Musscle cars, Street Rods, and lack of Ricers that are there this year.
