its dead.. has been for many years now... they had perfect weather this year and still couldn't pull a decent crowd.. turned out exactly like i though it would.. an embarrassment...
damn shame.. it used to be a great show.. i'd go every year.. always find what i wanted and spent all my car money there.. carlisle was still in its infancy back then.. had friends telling me that i have to check out carlisle but i never did because i was out of money from e-town..lol.. then e-town dies pretty much over night. they were resting on their laurels and never gave a thought to changing things up some and giving people what they wanted.. meanwhile carlisle took over. e-town changed the mopar dates to after carlisle and e-town continued to die. i'm sure the guys running mopars at e-town are trying but its still failing big time..
these days its not worth my time or money to go .. i'll go to Carlisle instead.. its earlier in the year and i find what i want there. people used to say but e-town has drag racing. well look at those stands and tell me how many people are really interested in the racing those two days.. only time people even look like they are watching the racing is when they are sitting in the bleachers eating lunch..
as far as that goes.. only voice any of us have with events like this is our money.. i refuse to blindly support something i don't like just because they have it.. thats just stupid.. if i don't like it i will not waste time and money on it even if it says mopar on it.. make it so i want to go and spend my money then i'll go.. until then i'll find something else to do with my time and money and continue to laugh when i see how empty that event is every year..
every year guys i know that would go because it was a local mopar event drop out because it seems to just get worse every year.. this year a friend paid to vend the weekend. he heard it was getting better from the clowns that try to pump that embarrassment up so he figured he would give it another chance. he went saturday and didn't go back sunday because it was so pathetic.. just the way it is man.. damn shame too.. i can remember the days of wall to wall parts,top show cars in the coultry, racers backed up all the way out past the staging lanes to almost the show cars (almost all the lanes too) all the big name vendors there, big name racers there, big daddy walking around..etc...etc...etc.. its just dead now.. pull a sheet over its head and bury it already... the best it could be now is maybe a one day event..
