GARLITS vs FMA...and the Mopar Guy suffers because of it.

I'm "only" 2.5 hours away, but factoring in all the driving, prep time, loading and unloading plus deciding whether to unload the trailer between shows makes it a royal PITA.

I've been a vendor at both shows but between this drama and covid, I'm not going to either one this year.

I'm pretty sure there's more than enough days available in non-stifling humidity months to have both shows not a week apart.

Heck, having them on the same day would even be a better solution as you can almost walk between venues.
See, this is the totally wrong attitude to have. Just do what you've done in the past. Go to Garlits, do your thing and support Big. Let the cards fall where they will. We need power in numbers.
If you want the show back at Garlits, you have to demonstrate it. Have a little faith.
