That show has gone down hill for the last four years. I think my last visit was this past fall. The vendors are gone, the swap area is a joke, Mecum isn't there doing the auction anymore, the list is getting long on why this is no longer a premier show.. Dave..

Mecum used to run the auction, and they brought in great cars from all over.
No mention of vendors.
Used to be $10 admission, no mention of what it is now.

The East Tn Corvette Club is going to have a booth and be more active at the expo next month.
I will probably try to work on Saturday, so anyone that comes be sure to stop by and say hi!

Its been about 3 years since I have been there. I only went for parts before. It is a loooong drive for me. So, is it not worth the trip for parts anymore ? I'll take your word when you tell me. The gas money alone would go a good little ways on mail order parts.
Thanks.
Thanks.
