Would really like to meet this crew.

That's got my vote!

It will be further away for me. But this last show was my first and I was very pleased and disappointed at the same time. I was pleased with the number of vendors that were there. I was disappointed to hear that they were not selling anything, just telling you that Eckler's carried it
The parking was so tight that you could not leave. I thought about getting an exhaust sytem installed, but could get out to do it.
The food option very very limited and a cool place to get out of the HEAT. Well, that was almost impossible. I think that Old Town will be better if they open up the vendors and get away from only vendors that sell through Eckler's. That isn't a true show when they do that. It's more of an invite to buy from them.
Don't get me wrong. I have and probably will continue to buy some things from Eckler's. But let a car show be a car show. Don't force ECKLER'S down our throat.

Is that what the Ecklers "show" is really about, promoting their stuff, not selling at the booth(s)?
What about other vendors, do they sell anything?
Does this show have the same vendors as in all of the shows around here?

All of the vendors at the Eckler's Show gave you the Eckler's catalog number of anything that you were interested in. You then went inside Eckler's and ordered it. Went back outside to the Will Call door and picked up your merchandise. Only Eckler approved vendors are at the Eckler Show.

That's what I hope changes when the change locations.

OK, OK, you broke my arm. I'm buying!!

Man, it would be great to get this group together.

I attended the last Eckler's show and I agree with SteveK. It was hot, just a couple of food vendors and no place to go. I think that Old Town will be much better. I belong to the Cape Kennedy Vette Club and we had about 12 cars there. Some of our members also helped with the judging.

It is to bad they picked that date, as it is the same weekend as the St. Pete Gran Prix and the McDill Air Fest.
This year the Gran Prix will have the ALMS cars running also, which means the Corvette C6R of Pratt & Miller/Chevrolet. Our club is the host Corvette club for the Corvette Coral. Also across the bay in Tampa is the air show at McDill AFB, that will draw 250k people and maybe more.
