yes people stopped going because theres nothing there any more to draw them in, they rape ya on admission also. it used to take a full day to walk the parts. now you can do it in 10 minutes. and its not the internet that hurt it. goto carlisle or the nats and they sure have no shortage of parts. yea the tax man hurt it big time but they didn't do anything to make ya want to go there either. the show car area used to bring the top cars in the country. took forever to walk through and check things out , then the racing used have a ton of cars. cars in the staging lanes used to be backed up to the fuel pumps in the swap area. i know because i waited in those staging lane lines. then you had the lil red wagon big name drag racers running **** over the weekend too. it was a cool *** event. the racing turnout is a quarter of what it used to be. and to be honest i live 5 minutes from atco raceway. i can and do go see/do all the racing i want there with no shortage of mopars. to me its not about one thing. its all three combined to make the event great. i used to take the weekend off from work to go fri sat and sunday. now you can cruise through the whole damn place in an hour or so and see everything. i've always said if you go and have a good time thats great. i'm glad for ya but don't try to tell me the event is something it isn't . i used to love that show and it was only an hour away which was great. but it has been dying a slow death for years now. its not even worth having it a two day show anymore. go have fun don't know why guys have a problem with what others think if they have fun when they go then go and have fun..
