My 91 vert happens to be in near mint condition and has always been in near mint condition. I payed good money for that lodge room a NV that weekend had great spot in front lot where it was parked during the night. Next morning when come down prep car for show that's when got rude awaking with bullhorn move my car to dirt lot across street. Hay TT just how many times have you had to show your car in dirt lot across street? inquiring mind would love know. Why can't the car show be held somewhere else like in Bryson so everyone can display there cars and feel as they are part of the show and not a rust bucket reject like TT thinks. It would also be nice if people living in the area or driving thought might enjoy looking at the cars and maybe even take interest in rotary power. I did not come on here to down the event as I stated before the event was ok but had a better time the following year hanging out at the mini event following year and that should not be. This thread is to make the event better was just giving a opinion.

I do agree with you here, I would be nice to see all the rotaries in one big lot. My only issue with this idea is that it's one more activity added to an already loaded itinerary and it's just convenient to have the show at the 'home' location.

When I say "loaded itinerary", that's just my opinion and I say that only because every year when I come out for this event I want to do so much and it seems as though I don't, there's just so much to do. The year before last I did make time to go on the zip line tour which was a blast! The raining didn't help this year and it kept us indoors most of the time.

I think it's convenient to keep the event as simple as possible and I'm perfectly fine with keeping the 'show' part of the event at the lodge. Think about the damn dam photo shoot, not everyone makes it there and if they do sometimes it may not be on time and get left out. . . I can only assume that the car show would end up like this if moved to a different location.

Agree with this. I would like to see the car show cars organized all together. If it has to be somewhere besides the lodge, well that's fine with me. I didn't see a lot of the cars because they were scattered about, or I didn't know if they were part of the show or not.
Also, we had a local business owner stop by our car, and she also had a gsl-se that her father had bought her brand new. She just happened to be driving by and saw all the cars and decided to stop in. She was very interested in all of the cars, and wondered why there weren't signs around town telling others of the show. At the time, I didn't understand that the car show (and viewing of) was only for registered attendees, and so I didn't have a good answer for her. Now I know, but I would like to see that aspect changed to be more of a public affair.

Not a gripe, mind you. I am very appreciative of all of those that organized this great event. Thank you!

I kind of like this idea, but I'm not sure how it would work out... It may get into liability issues, and if it's fine for them to hang out at the car show, why not the damn. What if a non event participant won the car show... then how would that work at the banquet?
