What did everyone think of the show?? Will you be back next year?? What didnt you like?? Will you bring more friends with you next time ?? Should Family Events keep the show ??

Paul, I'm sorry we couldn't make it. We will make next year and try to get some of those north eastern IN boys to come too

We thought the show went really well probally our favorite jamboree. I think I have one more truck already commited for next year and maybe a 2nd one. We didn't really have any complaints.

What about making this show a 3 day show !! What do you all think of that ??

[chevybird72]

I don't know what the numbers where, but from what I saw I'm not sure if there's enough spectators or participants yet to support 3 days. I know this show will get huge it'll just take a bit.

OK, here is my take on it: All in all it was a decent event. I was there on Sat. and there were little to no spectators, vendor row was a ghost town! I probably won't be back next yeah, and if I do, I will just come up to see the NADM pulls and go home. Lackluster participation/economy really seems to be in effect. I was also dissapointed with the stage loudspeaker system, you could not hear any annoucments unless you were right in front. Where were all the great super-prize give aways? I never even heard any drawing numbers?! Also, the food and drive prices have became absolutely retarded...$5.00 for a drink, give me a break! Looking forward to Indy and also the new judging rules.

3 Day event sounds good to me. For some of the people traveling long distance it would give them more to look forward too. The show has a good start. The numbers will grow.

ok well not to bad for a newer show only its 3rd year. and i understand there was other big shows that weekend , but yes were was all the vendors at. was glad to see photoline there , they were missed at indy last year. we took 2 trucks with us and others were up later , but we are planning on going back next year and take more trucks. we got great parking like how everything was close didnt have to do alot of walking. we parked on the hill by the restrooms between the vendors and the grand stands right behind the stage. we liked hwo there was always somethign going on in front of the grand stands, we sat there part of one day just watching events. liked the location too electric and water close . shaded too.

I do have to agree with brian , were was the vendors, did they even draw numbers for prizes, we never heard any either. was really surprised there was not more monster trucks since there is so many in illinois. 2 days was kinda nice , for the kids, we got there friday evening went checked into our hotel , then unloaded stuff then had tiem to go get our registration stuff and and jsut take it easy for the big day saturday.

all said though its nice show small more laid back, great time because kids are out of school too that was a big + for us i got to take my daughter and she loved it .

thanks ,
