Spring Classic VW Show & Go 4/10
« on: April 10, 2011, 10:31:21 pm »

What a day! Everyone was crying wolf with the rain. Well, the weather turned out beautiful! warm and partly sunny! The best part was the Finals in the Quick 8 race between a golf and a Bug. The golf won the race but the bug won the highpoint of the event with a rear wheel bounce on a spectacular wheelie stand in the finals! i had to post this video  **^bana0 **^bana0 **^bana0 **^bana0

Turned out to be a very nice day for the show. I never liked paying $25 to get in but I do it to see the show, swap meet and Camaraderie. There was a LOT of good stuff there this year for air cooled parts pickers.

Now, $30 to have your car judged, Gezzzz!!! that extra $5 was my braking point. If I go again I'll just do the $20 to walk around.

I don't know if it was this way before because I never did it but you have to pay for each person in the car. Gezz, gezz!

Next year Englishtown off my list.

They Charged a couple to show one bug $50 to get in.  Is that the going rate for a VW Show this year?

I had a good time for the $30 I Spent.  I found most of the used parts I needed.  Thanks to shawn for transporting them back for me.

Jack,  When can we get a trailer like Central Jersey?  Will ours say UHAUL on it?

Yeah, I bought nothing & it was a $60 day. And the one thing I did want to buy was a $1 sticker but they would not wait on me as others were buying bigger ticket items.  :confused04:;

I was shocked by the $30/swap deal! never knowing that the spectators paid 20 until this guy i saw biatchin that the flyer had $15/spect, at the gate the guy told him if he wants to go in he has to pay the $20, he was pissed all day but still paid because he needed some parts. I personally felt the swap had too much of the same parts and we had to sell for nothing in order to break even with entry, tolls, GAS.If the prices are the same for Oct, i'm turning around and heading somewhere else or back to Philly and crash someones BBQ party!.. I got back with almost the same load i took!  &(rage_ I'm gonna stick to shows and enjoy the summer!  **^bana0

I agree with you guys, as nice as the show was, $30 is just too much for me to accept. I will be sticking to local shows and cruises. I alwats though you should get a small discount for showing, with out us showing our cars you wouldn't have a show!!!  just my  2@cent

On a more positive note, my buddy who has an Audi S4 ran a 13.9 in the quarter!!!  I also picked up 1st in my class, and two other members picked up wins as well...




Cool to win, but worth $30, no way.
