So I guess I'll ask the question about the elephant in the room. Have we come up with anything to handle the amount of vehicles we had. I see Amy counted 54 cars. I know (with out standing by the road the whole time) I counted at least 10 to 12 cars that looked like they really wanted to stop in the curse in too. About half of those took a second pass, but I did not see them after that.

This only address half of the issue. We didn't have enough parking for people who wanted to stop with their cars but there wasn't any place close for people who drove by and saw the show to park and walk up. Im sure people were having to park 1,2,3 blocks at times to walk back to see the cars. While that is not a big deal for me, and I would walk it, I'm sure there were quite a few that just kept driving.

I like the location but you are right about the parking. There are just no other place to have it unless we used the river and there's nothing down there. No food or stores. If we can handle this for a while untill they build the stuff across the street from Sears we may be able to do something there. That is if they put in a burger joint of some type. Next week it will not be as bad. Some of our own group have stuff going on and so does the Country Cruisers. We will see what happens. I really have no idea what to do about the crowd. I'm open for ideas. One thing is for sure, I had alot more fun at this first show than I did at any of the Kmart gigs.

How about the club cars park on Dayton St. That will leave 16 spaces open. That's how many club cars where there. I guess we can see how many show up next week to get a better idea.. The Dayton St. wasn't my idea I just borrowed it..
