BM-I'm going Saturday, not sure what time I'll go, trying to decide if it's better to go early or wait for the insanity to clear. Leaving from North Port

This show was the BIGGEST WASTE of time. I would guess 50 or less cars showed up, and the rain was on/off then poured. There were about 8 or so from the Naples club, and about 5 other Corvettes that showed up. Overall, I'd give this a -5

EDIT: the show promoters admitted to bad planning and did make an honest effort to make good with those that showed up. For what it was advertised as/for, it was far below what it should have been, they will try again and anyone who signed up this year gets free entry next year. I'll give them a

for admitting bad planning and being honest about it.

I showed up on Sunday afternoon and not more than 50 cars or so when I was there. I saw the group from Naples, and that was it for 'Vettes. The whole place seemed more like a Wake than a car show.

I am sure the weather took it's toll on everyone on Saturday.

I'm just glad I got in free.

That was pretty good considering it sprinkled on and off all day.
