I have to agree I went and while it was fun(went down Friday and was there by 11am and left Saturday at around noon. We decided to split our looking into 2 rounds because of the heat. Got a bunch of it done Friday(got my lines for the tranny,dash carpet surround from year one and screw kit for interior reinstall/Father in law got some Billstein shocks and some valve covers from indy for his 70 Coronet R/T) then we got some lunch hit the pool at the hotel to cool OFF! and then went to the drag races..that was again fun but kinda disapointing..were a few cool cars but lot less than in the past and no "special draws" like ive seen in the past like a couple years ago when big daddy was running his swamp rat nitro methane car....and a couple before that that featured a bunch of the old super stockers going at it..the early and mid 60's cars with max wedges and early Hemis and that stuff..those were GREAT races..this was fun but rather short and very few cars..they were almost begging guys that had lost to come back and keep running for time runs just to have cars running.....they need to have a "special attraction" every year at that set up something(look they have a LOT of time to set something up) like they did with the super stocks and garlits...
Saturday we got up pretty early to try to beat the heat we checked out some of the buildings and cars, the entire corral part and tried to get some t shirts that no one carried anymore so that was a disappointment also(the lightweight coolmax types for HOT weather like they were having lol) we got to about noon when everyone loked at each other while sipping a ice colddrink under the pavillion and we all kinda said it..we were DONE just oo hot...
I think that they just got hit with 2 back to back crap weather years..last year it was the torrential rains on Friday that ruined a lot of it...and then this year it HAD to be the fact that it was at or near 100 degrees or above from Friday-Sun just brutal...if I didnt live just 1.5 hours away id probably not have gone. just NOT good weather at all last 2 years.
