I was a dedicated supporter of both the Turkey Rod Run and Spectacular Weekend in March, from 1990 - 2002. I still have photos of me and my 69' Dart on the speedway. 2002 I decided to become a seller to clean out my shop some what. Friday afternoon I called the shows Hot line and asked for a spot and was told it was to late to preregister, but there was plenty of space left. I spent the whole afternoon and until 1 am loading up my van for the travel from South Florida (4 hours). I arrived there at 8 am in a short line and was told there were not any space available. I explained my story from the day before and the 4 hour drive and was told again that I were to get out of line. I did park outside and paid to enter, to become a spectator for the day and never to return again for either shows. Note: There were many open spots available. As someone mentioned, It's not a friendly Mopar show. I did not want be push any buttons, but I have been a judge for the Mopar show there, for all those years and expected so, that year, but I declined. I have an old saying, "It's hard to fine a Friend, but easy to lose many".Hell the vendors should come to Florida for the month of November and hit the Turkey rod run on Thanksgiving weekend in Daytona at the speedway one of the biggest shows in the country and enjoy the nice ( not cold ) weather.
