Had been there a few times as a spectator, last year was my first as a show car participant. Thunderstorms the whole way there, re-cleaned inside and enjoyed the day. That being said, I'm not going this year. One turnoff for me was how I was placed in the shop area. They have limited space and try to group generations together. But C5's like mine got the shaft stuck in the lower lighting, dingy service area along with the swap meet guys. Pretty sure that cost me votes and less spectators came back there to socialize. Oh well, saves me some cash to use for later season shows and I'll be able to make my son's travel soccer tournament now.
