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

I have called (a few months ago) Big D (did not speak to him, personally), and the FMA. I expressed my concerns about deluting the size of either/both shows. I suggested they resolve their differences, for every ones benefit.
I only live about 30 minutes from either show, so travel/lodging is not an issue for me. My car is far from a show car, but I usually bring it. I mainly attend for the swap meet. Can't really afford to enter my car in both shows, as I need to have money to attend Moultrie Ga, the weekend of the 20th, and Turkey run the weekend of the 27th. That's a swap meet every weekend in the month of Nov. including Sumpter County this past Sunday.
You might wanna call them again.
If the Friday night Dinner with Big at Sonnys was sold out, it may be a good indicator.
